1996 Mazda Miata Mx-5 W/ Hard Top Manual Trans - Zoom Zoom on 2040-cars
Saint Charles, Illinois, United States
|
You are bidding on a used 1996 Mazda Miata MX-5 convertible with approximately 84,000 miles on the odometer. This car is in great running condition and a blast to drive with or without the top down. I am the third non smoking adult owner of this Miata and while in my possession has been garage kept and not driven in winter. Here is a list of the features and options:
Mechanically the car runs great with the exception of a small valve cover leak I have been meaning to fix but have not. The engine pulls you just enough to make you smile when approaching red line. Shifting is effortless with a quick flick of the wrist. The clutch, brakes, and fluids are all in great shape. The tires are at about 70-80% and should last a few years depending on how you drive. A few years ago I had the rear main seal replaced along with all the seals in the transmission. Wheels do not have any major gouging or cracks however they could use a paint job. As I mentioned the hard top has been repainted but you really have to look hard at the window gasket to tell. The car has typical dings, scratches, and chips for a car this age. Unfortunately the rocker panels are rusted and bubbling in some spots as you can see in the pictures. The rust is contained to behind the front tires and in front of the rear tires along the black painted rocker panel. The rest of the paint shines up nicely with a little wax. Windows are clear and the interior cloth seats have no rips or tears. This car is a BLAST to drive and just fast enough to get you in trouble if you let it. This action is for local pick up only in the western suburbs of Chicago. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. If you leave a phone number I will call back after working hours. Please take a look at my 100% positive feed back I have always received. I have sold 2 cars previously on E-Bay and have always had positive feedback. You can bid with confidence. Apon winning the auction a $500 deposit to my PayPal account within 3 days is required. The remainder of the balance is due in cash and must be completed within 10 days of auction ending. Good luck bidding and thanks for your interest in my auction. |

Scion FR-S pitted against oldtimers RX-8 and S2000
Tue, 07 May 2013There are very few vehicles available today that compare directly with the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins. A case could be made for the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and possibly even six-cylinder versions of American coupes like the Ford Mustang. Pretty much everything else is either too expensive or is powered by the wrong set of wheels.
The boys from EverydayDriver on YouTube decided the only fair way to judge the inherent qualities of the Toyobaru twins was to pit them against two standard-bearers of years past: The Honda S2000 and Mazda RX-8. Neither of these cars is an exact matchup, with the Honda boasting a convertible top and the RX-8 offering more practicality via a rear seat and two reverse-opening doors for easier access. What they do offer, however, are similar performance stats and proven reputations for excellent handling.
None of this talk answers the real question, though: Which one wins the comparison test? Scroll down to watch the video, and be prepared for something of a surprise conclusion.
2014 Mazda6: July/August 2013
Thu, 05 Sep 2013Our newest long-termer - the Soul Red 2014 Mazda6 seen here - arrived in my driveway at the end of June. Without hesitation, I immediately put it to work as a daily driver, carpool bus and family vacation sled, and it accomplished all of those tasks with aplomb. Now, more than 4,000 miles down the road, I am left convinced that Mazda's latest midsize sedan is one of the best in its segment.
During the past 60 days, I have subjected the Mazda6 to scorching travel across Southwestern deserts, wheezing climbs over 8,000-foot-high Sierra Nevada mountain passes and basking in the cool ocean breezes of Malibu. It traveled with four passengers and a full load of luggage from Los Angeles to Lake Tahoe, and it braved the bumper-to-bumper freeway congestion on a weekday trip down to San Diego. It accomplished everything that was asked of while hardly skipping a beat - it has only required a regular sip of unleaded fuel to keep it moving forward.
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
