Mazda Rx-7 Not Running on 2040-cars

Year:1989 Mileage:130000
Location:

Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

 $1000 cash or possible trade for good running minivan/pickup/sub-compact station wagon.

Too much going on, so won't have a chance to repair it in the near future.
I'd rather find it a good home, but if I don't get what I want for it, it will just have to sit a while longer until I can get to it.

The good:

Clean/clear title.
Very straight and complete car.
Never wrecked.
No rust. West coast, desert car.
All glass good w/light factory tint.
Factory electric sunroof.
Factory alarm system.
Behind the seats dual locking storage compartments.
Factory GTU body/suspension treatment w/full aerodynamics package intact.
5 lug wheels with 135mph rated rubber.
4 wheel disk brakes.
Newer pale yellow paint. (wife didn't like original red color.)
Nose bra to protect front end.
Interior could use some TLC, but pretty good for age of car. (some minor cracked/missing plastic parts and small rip in driver's seat.)
Dash has a custom fit cover that was on when I bought the car, so I don't know the condition of the dash.
4 spd overdrive automatic transmission has lock out button that holds it in gear letting the driver control shifts.

The bad:

Told engine ate its seals. Spins, but won't start. May be as simple as no spark, fuel mixture, etc, but selling as blown engine, as that is the worst case scenario and I don't want anyone buying it thinking it will be a cheap and simple fix. If it turns out to be something simple, great for you, You've gotten it for less than 1/4 its running value.

Repair/rebuild/replace the power train and have a great handling 2 seat exotic car for a small price. When running, this is a 30+mpg car at highway speeds that can out handle about anything made, but with good manners when being driven around town. It passed smog testing with no problems when it was last running, so all smog equipment is present. The battery is shot from sitting for almost a year.


No warranty implied. As is where is. I have tried to describe its condition as completely as possible.

Cash price is firm!  Trade is negotiable depending on vehicle offered. (An even trade is possible, but I am not interested if you expect to get my car plus cash.)

I will not ship, but will assist in loading if you supply transport. Must be paid in full before car, or title will be released. Cash at time of pick up, and/or signed title and other vehicle if a trade.

Contact Dave at 702-290-2501 with any questions.

Car is available for inspection. Located on Carey Ave. by Lamb Blvd. Northeast Las Vegas.

I can take and email pictures of specific areas if needed. (Except the undersides as it sits too low for me to get under.)

2009-2013 Mazda6 door latch recall covers 161k cars

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

Mazda is voluntarily recalling 161,400 Mazda6 cars due to door latch mounting screws that may loosen, which could cause a door to open while the vehicle is in motion, thereby increasing the risk of accident or injury. The recall covers 2009 through 2013 Mazda6 models manufactured between February 4, 2008 and August 24, 2012.
The recall is expected to begin by October 18, 2013. Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will provide repairs free of charge. Scroll down for the official recall notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Mazda3 diesel under consideration for US, hybrid not so much

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

It's been a long time coming, but we finally clapped our eyes on the real deal, officially official 2014 Mazda3 in hatchback form yesterday. Yet there's a lot more to learn about this next-generation version of what has always been one of our favorite compacts. We know that the US version will come with one of two Skyactiv engines, but what about alternatives? Will there be any... or will the gasoline-fed four-cylinders be powerful and frugal enough to carry the day?
According to Automotive News, the answer is a definite maybe. Mazda North America CEO Jim O'Sullivan has told the trade publication that his employer will consider adding the company's well-liked 2.2-liter Skyactiv diesel powerplant to the model down the road. However, the company first wants to see how the engine fares with American consumers in its big-brother Mazda6 sedan, a model that goes on sale later this year. As for a potential Mazdaspeed3 successor, mum is still the word.
Anything else? Uncharacteristically, Mazda will build a hybrid model of its new 3. We say "uncharacteristically," because the Japanese independent has long shied away from gas-electric powertrain tech. In fact, it's gone so far as to boldly announce its aversion to the technology, with auto show banners proclaiming "Not Electric. Not Hybrid. Not A Drag To Drive." Despite all that, this new generation of Mazda3 will in fact be the company's first full hybrid production model. According to AN, however, O'Sullivan says that the company has "no plans" to sell it in the US.
