1990 Mazda Miata, Runs Great, Top And Interior In Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
East Greenville, Pennsylvania, United States
|
I bought this from the original owner, who had the car from late 1989 until February 2012, which is when I bought it. Since I have owned it, I have always garage kept the car. It has been my weekend/sunny day only car, so it literally hasn't seen rain in at least 2.5 years. The car runs and drives great. Engine runs well and doesn't skip a beat, no check engine light. The original owner said the clutch was replaced at around 110k miles, but I don't have the receipt to show. However, I don't doubt it, as the clutch is great. Transmission shifts very smooth, as it should.
The top is in outstanding condition. It's not original. I'm not sure how old it is, but it's very solid and looks great. The interior is also in great shape. Drivers seat isn't ripped, dash is solid. Even the radio surround bezel is in one piece, I replaced it myself when I bought the car. I bought the car with a broken rear end. I replaced it with an open rear. I also changed the valve cover gasket, plugs and wires. I purchased a full set of cooling/heater hoses from Mazda, but have never installed them. The car does not leak any coolant at all, but I was going to change them as preventative maintenance since I don't know how old they are. Timing belt is in good shape, replaced by previous owner. As for "negatives" on the car...the rear shocks are done. They need to be replaced. The car was in a hailstorm at some point, so the trunk and hood have hail dings. I don't care all that much, but it is what it is. It has normal Miata rocker rust starting on the drivers side. Passenger is much better. I've seen a lot worse on Miata, but it's there. I also have the original hard top that was purchased with the car by the original owner. It needs a repaint, but is in otherwise good shape. It is not included in the $2500 price. If you want it too, the price is $3100. I WILL NOT SELL IT SEPARATE FIRST, IF THE BUYER DOESN'T WANT IT THEN I'LL SELL IT AFTER THE CAR SELLS. The only reason I'm selling this car is I'm moving next weekend. I love the car, but I don't want to deal with shipping, etc...as I've got enough to deal with already. The car must be picked up by Saturday June 29th. |

Mazda's first profit in five years in sight due to weak yen
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Automotive News reports Mazda is set to turn a profit for the first time in five years. The automaker is more dependent on exports from Japan than other automakers based in that country, and as a result, it has long suffered at the hands of a strong yen. But the currency has declined in value by some 16 percent over the past six months and Mazda's shares have tripled in value to their highest level since 2008. Contrast this situation to a year ago when Mazda printed 1.22 billion new shares to raise cash. The move was equivalent to 70 percent of the company's then-outstanding stock, and values tumbled to record lows as a result.
Now that the yen has fallen to a value of around 96 per dollar, Mazda operations in the US are more profitable and the company now projects it will earn around $279 million for the next fiscal year. Automotive News says a one yen change against the dollar can have a 9.1 percent impact on Mazda operating profit compared to 4.7 percent at Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries or 3.1 percent at Toyota. Those automakers better insulate themselves from currency fluctuations with overseas manufacturing facilities.
Mazda3 celebrates 10 happy years
Tue, 25 Jun 2013Mazda is on the cusp of unveiling an all-new Mazda3, but the compact will mark an important milestone before that happens. The very first Mazda3 rolled off of the assembly line on June 25, 2003. A decade later, the little car has snagged some 136 awards. The first generation sold 2.2 million units over the span of six years, and the second has smiled its way into the hearts of 1.4 million buyers since 2009. Mazda notes the machine even took the honor of being the top-selling passenger car in Australia in 2011 and 2012.
So, what will the future bring? The Japanese automaker is keeping the details to itself for the moment. From the spy photos we've seen, it looks as if the new design will fall under the company's new Kodo design philosophy. That same language brought us the perilously sexy Mazda6, and the new Mazda3 should be no less attractive. You can check out those photos here.

2014 Mazda6 i Sport
Fri, 01 Feb 2013In an automotive landscape dominated by platform sharing, technology exchange and any number of other cross-fertilization/cost-saving/amortization exercises, it's actually pretty rare that we get to drive a new car that is as "all-new" as this, the 2014 Mazda6. With brand-spanking new Skyactiv architecture throughout - engine, transmission, body and chassis all included - this 6 represents a new era of flexible production and cutting edge running gear for the happily lithe car company.
Our own Jonathon Ramsey did a cracking job of running the Mazda6 through its First Drive paces a few months ago, and sufficiently impressed upon us just how good looking a car this is for the midsize sedan segment. Suffice it to say, now, then, that this is easily the most interesting (and quite possibly the most beautiful) midsize sedan in the segment today. However, as Mr. Ramsey reviewed a fully contented example of the 6 - one equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission - we took advantage of Mazda's North American launch event of the car to suss out the base Mazda6 i Sport, complete with its six-speed Skyactiv manual gearbox. This may not shock you, but the stripper's pretty good, too.
