Up for auction here is a 1991 Mazda Miata convertible. Always adult driven.
The Good: -Engine runs fine, no issues here. Starts every time, idles normally, revs smoothly. Still averaging 30-34 MPG on country roads. No smoke or weird noises. -Transmission is working fine as well. Shifts are crisp and positive. Clutch was replaced at 104,000 miles and works great. -Brakes are in good shape. Recent new front calipers and rotors. New brake lines to the rear about a year ago. Stops straight. -The interior is in pretty good shape, not perfect but pretty nice for a 23-year old daily driver. -New alternator last year. -New battery in 2012 -New fuel pump in 2011. The Bad: -It's going to need a front end alignment. It veers a little to the right. -The air conditioning will need a charge. -The power steering is not functional. It's drive-able but takes some arm strength when going slow. The pump will need to be replaced if you don't like the workout. No fan belt noises though. -The front tires should probably be replaced soon. One of the back tires is less than a year old and the other might be around three years old. -The oil pressure gauge is not functional. The Ugly: -The headlights don't sit right in the down position so I just leave them up. Could be an easy fix, I don't know. I haven't really been bothered by it. -While the top is in generally good condition, the back window is not. It is going to need to be replaced. Look at the pictures. -Leather shifter boot is torn. -It's rusty. This has been a very dependable and fun car for over ten years. I have had very few problems with it and most of the issues are wear related. The motor has never been modified. The car has never been raced. No boyracer fast and furious nonsense. Regular oil changes with full synthetic. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I would encourage you to try and see the car before making a bid. There will be no refunds. This is a 23-year old car so know what you're bidding on. You must come and pick up the car. It is completely drive-able so no need for a trailer. But I can help you get it on a trailer if that is how you want to pick it up. I can hold the car as long as it is paid in full. Talk to me. I am quite free until October 1st. Then I get busy. Try to get the car before then. Thanks for looking! |

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata firsthand impressions and notebook scribblings
Thu, 04 Sep 2014In a temporarily repurposed airport hanger in Monterey, CA, the world caught its first glimpse of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata tonight, and I was fortunate enough to attend in person along with my fellow auto media colleagues, Mazda execs, a couple hundred Miata devotees and, oddly, a fair number of Duran Duran fans. The klieg lights have dimmed, Simon Le Bon is no longer ringing in my ears, and I'm left to ponder what I've seen. I've scavenged my notes - and my Twitter feed - to give you some details and brief thoughts.
Fair Warning: I can't claim to be completely impartial (I own a second-generation NB and consider the Miata franchise to be one of but a few sacrosanct franchises in modern motoring), but I will share my honest first impressions of the new car, both good and bad.
Here are my notes:
Mazda poaches designer Kevin Rice back from BMW
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Kevin Rice left Mazda a baker's dozen years ago, but now he's back.
A graduate of the Transportation Design program at Coventry University (just across town from Jaguar headquarters), Rice worked his way up in the industry working for the likes of Opel and Italdesign Giugiaro before landing a job at Mazda. Between 1995 and 2000, he collaborated on such projects as the RX-8 and the 1999 Neospace concept that previewed the Mazda2 before moving on to BMW, where the new 3 Series and 4 Series were among the last projects he worked on during his 13-year tenure in Munich.
Now back at Mazda, Rice has been named the Japanese automaker's new creative director, charged with further honing the brand's KODO design language from its European headquarters in Oberursel, Germany. We're looking forward to seeing what he and his design team come up with in the coming years.
Mazda on sales upswing in Europe but won't build there
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Auto sales in Europe have been a tricky proposition for some years, but Mazda has seen some success on the backs of the CX-5 and new Mazda6. According to a report form Automotive News Europe, though, that doesn't mean we should be looking for the Japanese manufacturer to set up production operations there.
Mazda's European CEO, Jeff Guyton, explained to AN that "Our intention is to have manufacturing scale. That gives you scale economy and quality through repeatability." In other words, a big honking plant in one part of the world is preferable to a half dozen small factories building the same vehicles.
European sales for Mazda are up 5.4 percent in the first half of 2013, with 74,000 units sold. That kicked the Zoom-Zoom brand's market share up from one to 1.2 percent. Small gains, but gains nonetheless. According to Guyton, Mazda would need to sell 200,000 units of just one model in Europe for local production to make sense. Mazda's best European year saw 320,000 units sold across the entire range.
