Up for auction is a 1999 Mazda Miata. I purchased this car a couple of months ago as a third vehicle that I thought would be fun to have with spring time coming up. I have two kids and my wife does not like to ride it, because she says it is too small. For these reasons I do not get to use as much as I would like so I am putting it up for sale to buy something else the whole family can enjoy. I will give you a break down of everything on the car.
Body: The body is in fair to good shape. There is no rust on the body of the car or the frame of the car. There are a few spots on the hood, trunk, and the top of the rear quarter panels where the clear coat is fading. You can see these spots in the pictures. There is one dent in the rear section of the bumper, also shown in the picture. Besides that there are some minor scratches as can be expected in a car of this age, but nothing significant. If I were to keep it I would probably pain the car just to make it look really nice but it is not a necessity. The top on the car is in car is in very good shape with no rips or tears and it does not leak. The picture shows a spot on the rear bumper but the bumper has since been repainted. It has brand new tires on it with after market ICW wheels.
Interior: The interior of the car is in fair to good shape. It has black cloth interior. The driver seat has three tears in it so I put the seat cover on it to prevent them from getting worse. The passenger seat has one small wear spot next to the console that is not very noticeable. There are no cracks in the dash or door panels. The carpet is black and is in good shape.
Electronics: All the electronics work on the car as they are suppose to. The only thing that needs to be fixed is the passenger headlight bulb needs to be replaced. The power windows work as they are suppose to. All the gauges work and are accurate. The interior lights all work fine. It has the factory Mazda CD player that works good with no problems. The check engine light is on. I had it checked by Auto Zone and they said it was reading an EGR valve so I did not worry about fixing it. The previous owner recent replaced the main wire harness on the car. I just replaced the heater core so it has very hot heat now. The A/C works but needs a charge. I was not too worried about that because I drive with the top down anyway.
Drivetrain: This is the best part of the car. It has had a lot of recent work done by the previous owner and myself. It has a great running 1.8 liter engine that puts out 140HP mated to a 5 speed manual transmission. It has a brand new performance clutch in it and it shift great. The previous owner recently rebuilt the top end of the motor. I am not sure about the bottom end but it holds very good oil pressure and there are no odd sounds. There is also a new radiator and fuel pump. I just replaced the passenger front wheel hub. This car only weighs 2300lbs and it will fly. There are a lot of curves on the roads around my house and I can take them at 80MPH and it only feels like I am doing 30MPH. The car is a blast to drive.
Just to give you an overview of all the recent work done to the car:
- Top end of engine rebuilt
- New performance clutch
- New main wire harness
- New tires
- New front passenger wheel bearing
- New fuel pump
- New heater core and hoses
The car runs and drives great with no problems. I am selling it at NO RESERVE. I do have it for sale or trade locally. If you have any questions please feel free to email, text, or call Josh at 864-254-8572.

Mazda Hazumi concept gets punchy, comes out of its corner early
Mon, 03 Mar 2014The official images Mazda Hazumi concept, which previews the next-generation Mazda2, have leaked out from Chinese website Auto.sohu.com ahead of its debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
The subcompact, four-door hatchback shows off Mazda's Kodo design language in its smallest size yet. Hazumi means "bound" or "spring up" in Japanese, and it is meant to look like it is packed with energy. It is a very attractive little concept and hopefully points to a more stylish face for the next-generation Mazda2.
Mazda has not unveiled the full details about the concept yet, but in a previous release, it said for the car is using a 1.5-liter Skyactiv-D diesel engine. While Mazda has not officially said that the Hazumi shows the next Mazda2, it did say in its earlier release that it "points the way to the future" for the brand's small cars. Reading between the lines isn't too difficult, then.
Watch a high-speed chase from a motorcycle-mounted officer's point of view
Sat, 13 Apr 2013Riding a motorcycle through high traffic can be a stressful experience. And we don't even want to imagine what it's like to have to actually pursue someone on a motorcycle. Fortunately, we don't have to. Officer Troy Gurley of the Florence, Alabama police force recently attempted to stop a vehicle for traffic violations. The driver, 24-year-old Justin Sanders, figured he could use his Mazda3 to outrun the bike cop. Turns out, not so much.
Gurley pursued Sanders for nearly five minutes as the Mazda driver ran stop signs, swerved through traffic and raced through residential neighborhoods, but the perpetrator couldn't shake the tenacious and experienced rider. Other units soon joined the pursuit, and Sanders thought it best to leave the protection of his car to attempt to flee on foot. From there, it didn't take officers long to apprehend him. You can watch the video below for yourself.
Lexus, Mazda win KBB 5-Year Cost To Own Awards
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We focus a lot on what new cars are like to drive, but it's difficult on a one-week loan to really get a sense of what a car is like to live with. Sure, we try to recreate that sense with our long-term vehicles, but even after a year, it's impossible to know fully learn about a car, particularly in terms of reliability and cost of repairs. For 2014 model year vehicles, Kelley Blue Book has put together a list of the most affordable vehicles over a five-year period.
At the tippy top of the list are Mazda and Lexus, with the Zoom-Zoom automaker winning the award for best non-luxury brand. Lexus, meanwhile, was the most affordable luxury marque over a five-year period. It's interesting to note, though, that not a single Mazda won its segment in this year's awards.
General Motors did quite well, taking eight segments, including both the subcompact and plug-in segments, with the gas-powered Chevrolet Spark and Spark EV. The Chevy Camaro SS and ZL1 took the high-performance car award. Toyota was well represented, with five winners split between the main brand (Corolla, Prius C and Tacoma) and Lexus (LS and RX).
