Up for auction is this ONE OWNER, Rare, 2004 Mazda Miata Turbo (MX5.) Rare Turbo charged version, 6-speed manual!!!!! The Miata belongs to a very good friend, who purchased it brand new, back in 2004. He is a filming director, doing commercials and trailers. The Miata was becoming too small for him carrying recording equipment etc every single day. He wasn't really ready to part with it just yet, but when I let him borrow a Mercedes, he instantly became hooked. Along with the Miata he handed me a thick folder containing service and repair records. It's way too many for me to go through and list here. What I can tell you is, we at Autobahn Auto started servicing the Miata when we first met 3 years ago. Since then we performed a few repairs such as new Alternator, Battery, a new fog light and lots of oil changes. All previous service and repairs had been done by Mazda dealerships and other places he traveled to film. I was asked to use my expertise and sell the Miata for him, so any questions you may have just ask me.
To get the Miata sales ready we had the car detailed. We also refurbished the headlights by using a technique only we do at Autobahn Auto. So no auto-parts store kits were used to redo the headlights. They were water sanded and clear coated with several layers. Then they were buffed. They will look like new 2 years ++++.
The Miata has a few minor flaws which I will explain to the best of my knowledge. Some years ago the left side was keyed and needed to be repainted. It was done by a Mazda dealership and most of the paint matches except the trunk lid at the time had suffered some fading due to age. I tried my best showing this in the photos, but it's really not too noticeable until you're standing two feet away. The other issue is the driver seat needs to upholstery. The bottom cushion is heavily cracked as you can see in the photo. That's the reason I left the seat cover on that seat. The check engine light is on and the code is the Oxygen sensor.

Otherwise the Miata looks great and she runs and drives AWESOME!. The AC is freezing cold and the heat will run you out of the car. Power door locks work as they should and so are all the other controls. The vinyl top was replaced just 2 years ago!!

If I get a reasonable offer before the auction ends I will cancel all bids and sell the car. It is also for sale on our lot. If this is something you're interested in, don't wait for the auction because many of my listed cars sell before the actual auction ends!!!

Please view all the Photobucket photos as there are a lot more then the eBay photos I listed!!

Mazda6 diesel to race at Rolex 24, team and drivers announced

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

Mazda is getting serious about showing off the Skyactiv-D turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine in the Mazda6. The automaker has just announced it will campaign three diesel Mazda6 racers in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona in a quest to walk away with the company's 24th class win. Mazda partnered with SpeedSource to develop the race version of the new sedan, with Japanese and American engineers lending a helping hand where needed. Meanwhile, Freedom Autosport and Visit Florida Racing/SpeedSource/Yellow Dragon Racing will helm teams of their own.
Each car will make use of a five-driver team for the 24-hour race on January 26. In the interim, you can check out the full press release below for more information as well as the full driver roster. Mazda says we can expect to see the No. 70 SpeedSource car under the lights at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show later this month, as well.

Feds investigating 2010-11 Mazda CX-9 CUVs over braking issues

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating 62,000, 2010-2011 Mazda CX-9 models over brake problems. The government safety watchdog says it has received seven complaints of an observed loss of power braking power to stop the crossover, according to the The Detroit News.
The NHTSA complaints say that the problem causes a hard pedal, increased braking effort and reduced braking effectiveness. Some complaints allege that they hear a hissing noise during braking similar to the sound of air leaving the tires. No injuries or crashes have been reported.
"As always, we are fully cooperating with NHTSA on their investigation. We cannot comment further at this time," said Mazda spokesperson Tamara Mlynarczyk to The Detroit News.

NFL player Alfred Morris receives his thoroughly restored 1991 Mazda 626

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

Washington Redskins starting running back Alfred Morris might not drive a flashy sports car or SUV, but after today, he'll be driving the nicest 1991 Mazda 626 on the planet.
Back in July, Morris temporarily traded in his 626 - cheekily named Bentley - for a 2014 Mazda6 loaner courtesy of Mazda, and today the sedan was presented back to him after the ultimate PR stunt: a reported 275-man-hour restoration that left this 22-year-old daily driver looking like it just rolled off the assembly line.
Not everything was brought back to original condition, though. The expired sticker from Morris' final year at Florida Atlantic University was left on the windshield, but to fit the car's nickname, a few high-end touches were added to the interior. This includes the quilted, cross-stitched leather seats (just like a real Bentley) and the touchscreen Pioneer audio system. There's also a plaque under the hood marking this car as the "Alfred Morris Project."
