Black, leather, convertible soft top. Automatic. 150000 miles. Clear title.
Great car, second owner, needs work as follows:
Right front wheel squeeks (new hub/bearing assembly needed)
Trunk leaks badly (not sure of cause)
Occassional clutch noise when going into reverse.
Radio isn't hitting on much (rarely works), antenna does not operate up/down. Power windows work, but a little slow.

Minor valve ticking, but this is normal for older miatas.
Leather seats have much wear, especially driver (tear).
Right side headlight works, but shows signs of adjustment needed (a little weak opening, and not 100% open)
A/C is not cooling, but compressor seems to be ok (probably a minor repair, but not sure).
Back window faded, and difficult to see clearly.
Top has some seams needing repair.
Normal dings, nothing major.
Some oil leakage, not sure from where (does cause a slight burn smell when hot).
The GOOD: Car runs, and runs good. State inspection is current, but will soon need renewal. Very good tires. Paint still has good shine. Garaged.

Cleared electronic payment, or cash only. If cash, must transact at local bank for verification of cash. No checks, cashiers checks, money orders.

Tow truck driver hilariously bad at righting a flipped Mazda

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

Can rolling your car get any worse? The correct answer is yes, as this poor soul found out when he rolled his Mazda3 onto its side. Calling a tow truck might be a logical, post-rollover move, but in this case, it kind of made the situation worse.
We don't want to give away just what happened, so you'll need to scroll down and watch the video. A fair warning, though, it does contain a moment of colorful language towards the end, so watching it at work, with the volume up, might not be wise. Have a look below for the full video.

Mazda details diesel prototype at Daytona test

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

Diesel has without a doubt become the dominant fuel in the modern era of endurance racing. The 24 Hours of Le Mans has been won under diesel power for the past eight years running, as has every race in the FIA World Endurance Championship since its inauguration in 2012. Yet there will only be one diesel prototype entered in the top tier of the new Tudor United SportsCar Championship this year, and it belongs to Mazda.
The last Japanese manufacturer to win at Le Mans outright, Mazda has been gradually working its way back up the endurance racing ladder once again, following the example set by Audi with diesel power. Last year it campaigned a competition-spec Mazda6 Skyactiv-D in the GX class of the Grand-Am series, but rather than simply port over the existing racer into the new series, it's fielding a new prototype instead, just as it promised a couple of months ago. And now that prototype has hit the track for the first time, prompting Mazda to release its basic specs for the first time.
Tentatively referred to simply as the 2014 Mazda Prototype, the purpose-built racecar is testing this weekend in the Roar Before the 24, the official test session at Daytona that kicks off the racing season. It packs a 2.2-liter SkyActiv-D engine that's based heavily on the production version but tuned to produce 450 horsepower and 580 pound-feet of torque in race trim. Power is channeled through a six-speed sequential transmission from Xtrac, carbon brakes from AP and 18-inch racing slicks from Continental. With the Daytona-spec aero setup, it'll top out at around 186 miles per hour.

Mazda recalls 109k Tribute models for rust issue

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

The Mazda Tribute is being hit with a similar recall as its platform-mate the Ford Escape underwent a few weeks ago. Mazda is recalling 109,000 Tributes from model years 2001 to 2004. On the trucks, the subframe can rust from road salt, potentially causing the lower control arm to detach. If this happens, a loss of steering control could occur.
Mazda is adding a reinforcement crossbrace for added strength on the affected models. The recall covers Tributes currently registered in or originally sold in 20 northern states and Washington, DC, where road salt is used.
The reinforcement braces aren't available yet to do the repair. Mazda will send a letter in May to owners of affected vehicles that will inform them of the problem, and a second letter telling them when the parts will be ready. Scroll down to read the full recall press release.
