2001 Metallic green Mazda Miata with original tan top, tan leather interior and carpets with Nardi Torino trim and factory Bose stereo. Top has glass rear window with built in defroster. This was the first year for the NB generation (1999-2005) facelift including restyling of the front bumper cover and adding fog lights. This was also the year that variable valve timing was introduced bumping up power and fuel economy. The transmission is a 6 speed manual.

Overall the car is in good condition and is clean. The car has 143,000 miles and has normal wear and tear like some wear on floor mats, drivers leather seat a few minor scuffs and scratches in paint etc. the car runs and drives great (I have been getting 32-35mpg driving it back and forth to work). It has new wheels and tires (wheels from 2013 Mini Cooper) and continental extreme contact 205/45ZR16 tires with less than 10,000 miles on them. The car is inspected in PA until May 2014. I have the title in my hand and also a copy of the car fax (clean/no accidents).

The car is being sold as it is a 2nd vehicle used to commute to work but my company has opened a satellite office that is only 25 miles round trip compared to the 80 I was previously driving. 
There are 2 issues with the car that require or will require attention in the near future. These are both common problems that plague the Miata.

1. The rear main seal has a very slow leak (few drops of oil when parked overnight/extended period of time)
2. The passenger side outer rocker panel (body/cosmetic only) has an area of rust. The structural panel underneath is only pitted and does not require repair at this time. I was planning on cutting away the rusted metal, coating with rust inhibitor and installing factory side skirts which I purchased directly through Mazda to cover the area. I have not done this work yet since I decided to sell the car I want the buyer to be able to repair in whatever way they see fit. The side skirt kit is going to with the car to the buyer. The driver side is showing signs of rusting from the inside also but it has not yet shown on the outside. Another option is purchasing new stamped steel outer rocker panels and cutting the bad part out of the existing panels and welding the new ones in. The prefabricated panels cost $90 each side.

Why the 38-mpg 2014 Mazda6 is on dealer lots, but you can't drive it

Fri, 21 Dec 2012

If you stop by your local Mazda dealer this month, with any luck, you'll see the much-anticipated 2014 Mazda6 parked in the showroom - there are already a few hundred of them out there. That's quite an accomplishment in light of the fact that it isn't even calendar year 2013. The move is part of a strategic decision by the Japanese automaker, which is hoping to capitalize on holiday showroom traffic. (The last five days of the year are typically among the busiest dealer days all year).
If you happen to spy the rakish sedan, you may notice something missing - a window sticker. That's because Mazda (like other automakers) can't legally display the Monroney on a 2014 model year vehicle until January 1, 2013. According to Autoblog sources, Mazda dealers are legally prohibited from letting you test drive until the start of 2013, so it's more of a sneak preview than anything else. Even so, we reckon shoppers will be impressed when they finally get a look at those window stickers - Mazda hasn't announced fuel economy figures yet, but Autoblog has learned that the 2014 model will carry a pair of impressive numbers: EPA estimates of 27 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg on the highway using regular gas.

Mazda2 successor to ride atop shortened CX-5 platform

Fri, 31 May 2013

Mazda, looking to make the most of its new, lightweight Skyactiv vehicle architecture, will allegedly use a version of the CX-5 crossover's platform to underpin its next-generation Mazda2 hatchback, according to a report from Just-Auto.com. Of course, the Mazda2 is a much smaller vehicle than its larger CUV stablemate, so some serious chopping will no doubt be in order when it comes time to engineer the replacement for the company's smallest hatch.
Currently, the CX-5 and the sleek new Mazda6 share many of the same platform components, and this architecture will already be scaled down to support the next-generation Mazda3 sedan and hatchback, which will debut later this year. Just-Auto.com states that all of Mazda's remaining front-wheel-drive vehicles will eventually switch to reworked versions of this Skyactiv platform, including the replacement for the larger CX-9 crossover.
Also of note, Mazda will reportedly be switching to shorter, four-year lifecycles for its vehicles. This means that the newly launched Mazda6 will be replaced for the 2016 calendar year, with a refresh coming sometime in 2014. That said, vehicles with platforms supplied by other automakers (like the upcoming MX-5 Miata replacement that will share its underpinnings with an Alfa Romeo product) will not necessarily follow this four-year rule.

Mazda MX-5 GT gets green light

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

The Mazda MX-5 Miata is as popular around the Autoblog offices as Kate Upton posters are around fraternity houses. Few staffers have much criticism for Mazda's ubiquitous roadster, and fewer still aren't overjoyed when one arrives in their driveway. So you can imagine how a report from Auto Express about a more potent MX-5 model is going over in our offices today.
The new model, which was shown in concept form as the Mazda MX-5 GT at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, has a slight catch, though. First, we have absolutely no idea if Mazda will bring the MX-5 GT to the US. Secondly, and perhaps more problematically, this isn't a production car - it's a kit from the team at Jota Sport.
Now, to be fair, the kit doesn't sound like a bad thing. It bumps the UK-spec 2.0-liter, 157-horsepower engine up to 203 hp thanks to a sports exhaust and a revamped ECU (46 horsepower from an ECU and exhaust in a naturally aspirated car?). To make the little Miata even more agile, Jota has also fiddled with the suspension. AE doesn't mention things like the grippy tires or Recaro seats that were found on the concept, though.
