Ok, so here is the deal... I purchased this vehicle in January for a much anticpated 3 month summer road trip. I dumped just about $2,300 into making this thing run & drive like a CHAMP. And it does! But then the girlfriend ditched me, I cancelled the trip & I just don't need this style of car for myself. This car is TIGHT.
The blue book value in "fair" condition is $2300, which this is certainly well above fair... especially once you see the "just done" work list!
But since this is an online listing, I more than welcome phone calls to discuss condition notes & recent repair list. This car needs NOTHING & is a turn key & drive away with no worries! My feedback here on ebay can be some assurance I like to treat people right all the time, no matter the purchase size! My number is lower in this listing.
This is a 1998 Mazda MPV All Sport.
It's a 2wd vehicle, with a push button AWD transfer case... but what's really unique and awesome, is there is another button that locks the rear differential making it a 4WD. The best of ALL worlds!
The basics:
Awd/4wd
V6
4 Door
Rear hatch
Power windows
Power doorlocks
AC front & rear
Fog lamps
Roof rack (cartop carrier NOT included in sale)
seating for 7 (rear seats currently not in, will be for test drive)
Towing package (2.5" receiver)
A partial list of whats been done in the past 5 months (receipts for all):
Timing belt & all pulleys ($785)
Water pump
All lifters & rockers (pretty much rebuilt motor)
Valve cover seals
Rear air shocks ($600 repair) (car came with "auto leveler" but has been disconnected as they are $2k to replace)
$160 Optima Redtop Deep Cylcle battery
Full transmission flush & service
New exhast (from catalytic converter back)
Drivers power window setup (the whole inside of the door replaced, $395)
Starter
Plugs, wires, caps, rotor (less than 1 month old)
Rear wiper motor
Fuel Pump
Fuel filter
Throttle position sensor ($180)
And tons more that I just can't remember currently.
Passed DEQ with flying colors. Current oregon tags
Starts instantly, shifts smoothly & is a TIGER in the snow & sand, a great AWD!
Interior is in good shape, some very minor spots & stains but nothing too funky, custom $80 deep well floor mats.
Tires are all at least 70% tread left, one is 95% & are nice A/T's... wheels aren't fantastic looking but solid.
Privacy glass
Roof rack (box does NOT come with)
I want anyone who comes to look to know what they're looking at so there are no surprises... I'm about as honest a guy as they come & I hate waisting my time & a potential buyers... so here is the bad list:
-Rear a/c & heat is disconnected.. the control switch is broken & stuck in the on position on high heat, it's 1 wire to plug in
-Small dent at drivers door handle
-Power locks/keyless entry non functioning (no FOB, never had one so can not confirm it would work)
-Very minor scratches here or there, the paint is fully glossy & very sharp looking!
-windshield has a chip that has been repaired, no cracks
-It sounds like there is an exhaust leak developing, it goes away once it's warmed up so it could just be the exhaust manifold needs torquing down (a broken bolt was extracted & replaced 2 months ago)
And that is just about it. So like I said, I don't take car maintenance lightly & spent BIG bucks to make this car as reliable & sound as could be. MY LOSS YOUR GAIN. I just want something smaller for myself & am willing to hear offers, but don't make me laugh please. I'm already offering a nearly fully rebuilt car for the lowest blue book.
Car has 205k miles on it currently, clean title in hand in my name & ready to hand over!
Please call 503.875.4557 for any questions or if there are more specific images you'd like to see.
Trades I'd consider: Astro Van, vanagon, awd station wagon, dual sport, enduro, motorcycle, VW Van...

2019 Mazda CX-5 Signature Diesel First Drive Review | A tardy inessential
Tue, Oct 29 2019We were suspicious of the much-delayed Mazda CX-5 Diesel when it finally arrived at our office late this summer. Had it surfaced four or even two years ago, we might’ve been more bullish, but at least we werenÂ’t cynical — yet. Even the Volkswagen Dieselgate crisis couldnÂ’t turn our hearts against the CX-5 Diesel. We already like the CX-5, after all, we also like the eager torque, quiet ride and excellent fuel economy the Skyactiv-D engine would surely provide. But then we got the EPA ratings for the the CX-5Â’s diesel engine: 27 mpg city and 30 highway. Granted, thatÂ’s in an all-wheel-drive vehicle, but itÂ’s a serious disappointment. The turbocharged, gasoline-powered 2.5-liter I4 in the CX-5 Signature gets 24 combined mpg, while offering up to 250 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. The diesel version is down 82 hp (at 168) and 20 lb-ft (at 290), while elevating fuel economy to 27 city, 30 highway and 28 combined. The non-turbo gas motor in lesser AWD trims narrows the gap to just 2 combined mpg in favor of the diesel. So whatÂ’s the selling point for the Skyactiv-D? Mazda says itÂ’s a premium experience, and thatÂ’s why itÂ’s only available in the top trim level. ItÂ’s easy to flinch at that, but it makes some sense, when you look at other diesels in the U.S. market The Signature trim of the CX-5, as with the Mazda6 weÂ’ve come to adore, is good enough to target the lower end of, say, Audi customers who are looking to get a bit more content for the buck. These might also be the same people whoÂ’ve come out of a TDI vehicle and are already sold on the diesel experience. From the first squeeze of our right foot, the diesel CX-5 makes a good impression. In town, we diced our way through Woodward Avenue traffic, made easy mostly by the CX-5Â’s relative small size and agility. There is one point in the throttle tip-in when the engine sounds particularly growly, and somehow more massive than its 2.2 liters of displacement. The illusion began to crumble when we reached our first highway entrance ramp. Putting our foot to the floor, we got the quick first hit of growly torque, followed by Â… well not much. This engine begins to run out of steam as it climbs the rev ladder. ThatÂ’s not totally unexpected, but it was definitely disappointing. Furthermore, as Assistant Editor Zac Palmer points out, “By opting for the diesel, you add 115 pounds to the curb weight (now 3,940 pounds) of a comparable 2.5-liter turbo (3,825 pounds).
Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
2019 Mazda CX-3 small crossover will start at $21,365
Thu, May 3 2018The figures are in for the 2019 Mazda CX-3 subcompact crossover, which will start at $21,365 when it arrives in showrooms later this month. That's $280 above the outgoing model, including a $975 destination and handling fee. Fuel economy figures are also now in from the EPA. When equipped with front-wheel drive, the 2019 CX-3 gets 29 miles per gallon in the city and 34 on the highway for a combined 31 mpg. The all-wheel-drive version is rated at 27 mpg in the city, 32 on the highway and 29 combined. Which are ... exactly the same figures as the outgoing version (so much for the promised fuel economy improvements). We detailed most of what's new about the 2019 version back in March at the New York Auto Show. Mostly, they're non-cosmetic changes: The carryover 2.0-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder picks up a couple more horsepower and pound-feet of torque for 148 total horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque, joining a six-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift and sport modes. It also gets Mazda's G-Vectoring Control driving technology, a sportier, retuned suspension and improvements to make the driving experience quieter and more refined. Mazda says it's also added an electronic parking brake, which necessitated a redesign of the center console and armrest, adding storage space, and it redesigned the front seats and added a new rear armrest with built-in cupholders. Standard features include a new direct tire-pressure monitoring system and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, two USB ports, a rearview camera, hands-free Bluetooth calling and audio pairing capability, and the 7-inch Mazda Connect full-color infotainment and diagnostic display, controllable via voice command or control knob. The new Sport i-ACTIVSENSE Package of safety technologies is available for an extra $1,100. It adds features including smart city braking support with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, radar cruise control with stop-and-go function, LED headlights and LED combination tail lights. Other trim levels include Touring, which adds 18-inch wheels and keyless entry, and the top-level Grand Touring, which starts at $26,720 and $28,120 for front- and all-wheel-drive configurations, respectively. Grand Touring includes the Sport i-ACTIVSENSE Package, plus Parchment or black full-leather seating with high-gloss pleated piping and chrome accents on the front bumper and side sills, among other features.
