I am selling my 1996 Miata. It has been garaged for the last year and I am now parting with it. I purchased the car and drove it from Maryland(an 800 mile trip). It has new Kumho P195/50R15 tires mounted on Panasport lightweight racing wheels. I just blew the cob webs off the car and everything is working. After a few seconds, the oil pressure rises nicely, the clutch works well, no noise from the differential. The car has plenty of pep and no warning lights on the dash. The AC is very cold. The brakes work well and have a slight pulsation when braking hard. The exhaust has that monza sound to it. The garage floor is clean of any leaks and all of the fluid levels look good.
The car was originally a gloss black. I had some rust removed from the area just behind the passenger side door. There were some scratches here and there and I decided to have the car painted speed shop black. I installed a new Alpine CD player with an Ipod input and new Focal 6.5" speakers(the really good ones). Sounds great with the top down and a Jimmy Buffett song playing.
The car is being sold as is with no implied warranty. The high bidder must pay the deposit within 24 hours to Paypal and the balance in cash or certified funds within 7 days. You get the key(s), a bill of sale, and clear title to the car. I will answer your questions as soon as possible and you are welcome to see and inspect the car before the auction ends. Once the sale is over, you own it.

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.

Next Mazdaspeed3 could look this good
Fri, 28 Jun 2013Mazda showed off its brand-new 2014 Mazda3 at an event in New York City earlier this week, and we have to say, at first blush, we're pretty impressed. It looks fantastic - like a smaller, hatch'd version of the already sleek Mazda6 sedan that went on sale earlier this year. And with a 200-pound weight reduction, efficient Skyactiv gasoline engines underhood and Mazda's usual focus on driving dynamics above all, we're willing to bet that the new Three will be a pretty decent steer.
Of course, being enthusiasts, we're already setting our sights on the next-generation Mazdaspeed3, rendered here by artist Theo Chin. To our eyes, it's not a very imaginative transformation, but is likely a spot-on rendering for what the next car will look like. And it's really, really hot.
While Mazda hasn't exactly confirmed that the new Speed3 will be coming, sources within the automaker have indicated that a third-generation version of the MS3 is under development. Thing is, the Japanese automaker wants to give the standard Mazda3 some time to grow in the market, so we might not see the new Speed3 until something like 2016, with a possible diesel version to arrive before then.
2014 Mazda6 recalled due to fuel overfill fire risk
Fri, 02 May 2014Mazda is recalling 19,000 Mazda6 sedans from model year 2014, over concerns that the fuel tanks can be filled up too much. What is it with Mazda and fuel tanks?
The big concern is, obviously, spillage when filling up. There's also a risk that a radical temperature swing could cause the fuel volume to expand, causing a full tank to spill over without the driver knowing about it. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, if the fuel spills over, it could end up in something called the charcoal canister, which helps with the car's emissions. If it fills up the canister, it could leak out onto the road. None of this is really desirable.
The affected vehicles were all built between October 25, 2012 and May 9, 2013. It's unclear if there have been any fires due to this problem. Dealers should have been notified by now, while owners should begin receiving official recall notifications very soon.
