90 Miata Red/silver 5 Speed Extraordinary Example Rust Free Florida!! on 2040-cars
Plant City, Florida, United States
Exceedingly nice example of an early Miata. Runs and drives properly, freezing AC, "makes it's own gas". Tasteful repaint in red over silver. 205/40/17's Good seats and doorpanels - Top appears new. Dash excellent - Carpets have the "fake" plastic mats Stereo I cannot identify: says iPLUG XDMA690 CD Reciever Media Player 200W - sounds fine to me - Plug in glovebox looks like MP3 player input - extra RCA's and plug in trunk Starts, steers, shifts and stops correctly. The oversize wheels and tires do not detract from the drive like I thought they might. I put a couple hundred miles on it already. Reminds me of my old MG days without the problems. Miata's are all "J" VIN cars, made in Japan as in "made well". Rust free. I took pictures of the underside, the bottoms of the doors and down in the recesses of the engine bay. The Carfax shows a lot of inspections in March and April in NY? Maybe they kept the car there and used it summers or maybe they kept it here and drove it up in the spring? I took some of the pictures where I washed the car - not leaks My theory of internet auto selling: I sell every car as if the person is going to come and get it, even though a great many people have it shipped to them. Anyway the principle is this: If I describe the car as being better than it is and you come here, what have I accomplished? I have an irate person who is right here, took time off, traveled a distance etc. Never happens if you take the time to read what I wrote and/or CALL me on the phone. Great Miata for the money here. FAULTS: In so far as I can determine...... Some chips here and there - A couple of fairly bad touch up's (done by me) - Hood pull handle loose (works fine though) - Split in the seam at the top of the passenger seat - Typical Miata tappet noise at warm start up (I go through a lot of these cars and they all seem to do it, I am driving it everyday, if it goes away I will edit this out) I put in a couple pictures of a "born without air", somewhat funky, 97 Miata I have as well. $2500. Runs great and would be a good starting point for a race car. Look at the pictures (50+) and CALL me - He who CALLS first gets the car bought..... 863-852-6315 We do our own shipping door to door, email for a quote sunautogroup@aol.com I have been in the car business over forty (sheesh!) years, and at this location for ten. |

Bauer Catfish is a Miata-based trackstar in the making [w/videos]
Tue, 25 Jun 2013We're not trying to make a joke here. The creation you see above really is called the Bauer Catfish, and while the name is about as attractive as your average bottom feeder, the car itself is built on a sexy notion. Take the mechanical bits of one 1990-2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata, add in a tube chassis for as little weight as possible, complete with some custom body work and go forth. Bauer says the finished product weighs in at just 1,550 pounds, and the company will be happy to pull the stock four-cylinder to drop in a healthy General Motors LS V8.
The pre-production prototype shown above competed in last year's 25 Hours of Thunderhill, finished the race and earned a spot on the podium in the "anything goes for sports racers" ESR class. Very cool.
If you're looking for a dedicated track car, it may not get any better than this for the money. Expect to pay around $13,900 depending on options, plus the cost of your donor Miata. That's a good sight cheaper than a used Chevy Corvette Z06 and likely to be quite a bit more fun. After you're done watching it in action in the brief videos below, check it out over at Bauer Ltd.
25th Anniversary Edition Mazda MX-5 Miata sells out in 10 minutes
Wed, 21 May 2014Looking to buy one of the limited-edition 25th Anniversary Mazda MX-5 Miata roadsters? Well, you're too late. According to Mazda, all 100 examples of the darling two-seater have sold out - and it only took 10 minutes.
On Tuesday, Mazda opened its pre-order site for the limited-run Miata, and had intended to keep the site running until May 31, or until 250 customers were registered, whichever came first. Just 10 minutes later, 250 people had signed up. Now, Mazda will contact those folks, and the first 100 that are verified will be given the opportunity to pre-order the unique MX-5. "Upon verification of purchase intent and transmission selection, the customer's information will then be forwarded to the dealership of their choosing to finalize the transaction," Mazda said in a press release.
The 2015 MX-5 Miata 25th Anniversary Edition models will arrive at dealers this summer, retailing for $32,205 with the six-speed manual, or $32,655 for those desiring the automatic transmission. Based on the PRHT (Power Retractable Hard Top) model, the limited-edition Miata adds Bilstein shocks, a Soul Red metallic paint job (the same found on the gorgeous Mazda6) with a contrasting black roof, gunmetal wheels and an off-white leather interior. Special badging will be found inside the car, and buyers will also be treated to a custom-crafted Tourneau watch and a display winder box.
Mazda CX-5 facelift leaks online
Mon, 10 Nov 2014It's only been a couple of years since Mazda introduced its CX-5 crossover, so it's hardly in need of replacement just yet. But to keep it fresh, the Japanese automaker is apparently preparing to roll out a facelift for the compact crossover.
The facelifted model is expected to debut at the LA Auto Show later this month, but before it does, a handful of images - apparently scanned from a brochure - have leaked out online. From what we can see, it looks like the revised CX-5 features a new grille with horizontal bars, LED headlamps derived from those on the new Mazda2, new fog light surrounds, new taillight graphics and, of course, new wheels.
Unfortunately we can't see what's going on inside, but it'd be safe to bet that, along with the revised exterior detailing, Mazda's probably taken the opportunity to update the interior as well.
