This is my 1984 Mazda RX-7 which is a one-family-owned car since new. 

This is of the better-preserved examples of the first generation RX-7 you will find for sale.  This is an original, unmodified and unmolested car that has never been abused or mistreated. This car has always been garaged and was not driven in winter.

This car was purchased new in 1984 by Ms. Patricia Soya in Illinois.  She kept the car in excellent condition throughout her ownership and sold it to her brother James in 1991 when the car had 69,000 miles. During its lifetime, the car has always been garaged and it has been used for summertime driving only. This car has never been sitting for any length of time- it has been driven regularly on nice days for the past 30 years.  

I have the original window sticker which shows the purchase price of $12,765.00 in 1984.  This car has been in the same family since 1984 when it was new.  Since new, this RX-7 has always been serviced and maintained and kept in good operating condition.  

This is one of the most fun sports cars ever built.  It is a light, nimble RWD sports car with perfect balance and excellent power. It has a slick-shifting transmission, nicely weighted non-power steering, good brakes and an excellent chassis. This car is true classic- it is one of the most innovative automobile designs of the 1980's and one of the finest Japanese sports cars ever designed.  This is a superb driver's car.  The car is light, quick and responsive.  The Wankel rotary engine is ultra-smooth, with excellent power delivery and an intoxicating sound.  The 5-speed transmission is crisp and tight in shifting.  The suspension is tight and responsive and the car has superb balance due to the engine placement behind the front axle.  The brakes are excellent.  The overall driving experience is outstanding- these cars have a reputation as pure enthusiast's cars and they deserve it. 
  
This RX-7 starts and runs very well.  To start the car, you pull out the choke, and the motor starts perfectly every time.  The choke automatically releases when the engine has warmed up sufficiently.  The engine does not smoke or run rough.  The motor makes very good power and it is smooth and quiet.  

This car is a blast to drive.  The rotary engine is butter-smooth and makes excellent power.  The clutch is strong and the transmission shifts perfectly.  The steering is responsive and the brakes and handling are excellent.  This car has no known mechanical problems and there are no warning lights illuminated.  This is a reliable, dependable sports car with no known issues.  I know of no reason this car couldn't make a long drive anywhere. 

The body is straight, solid and clean with no exterior body panel rust.  The underside and body are totally solid and in excellent condition.  The paint is clean and looks very good for the age.  The paint carries a nice gloss and looks very nice.  The exterior and body of this RX-7 are what I'd consider to be excellent for the age.

The interior of this RX-7 is in beautiful condition.  The carpets are clean and have been protected by the original factory floormats since the very first day the car was purchased.  The floormats were only removed for the photos.  The seat fabric and upholstery is excellent and looks great.  The dash is clean and in good shape.  This interior is very clean and in excellent condition- much nicer than you would ever expect for a 1984 car.

This RX-7 is somewhat rare in that it was sold new without air conditioning.  30 years later, this makes for a lighter, less complex car without an A/C system that would be unlikely to work anyway.

Included with the car is the owner's manual, original window sticker, the original body-color steel roof in its vinyl bag plus a fitted front bra. 

This car is 30 years old and as such it is not brand new.  Please expect normal issues of wear and tear consistent with the age of the car.  Here is a list of all known issues: There are various small nicks, stone chips, minor scratches and other minor exterior defects, some of which have been brush-touched to improve the appearance. There is some minor corrosion on the aluminum wheels. The paint on the hood and tops of the fenders is more sun-faded and dull; the rest of the paint is glossy and in very good shape.  The original factory radio doesn't work. There is a ding in the front left fender behind the bumper. The fuel gauge does not work, however the car will have a full tank of gas at pickup.   

This car is kept in my garage in Willoughby, OH.

You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home.  You can also have the car shipped; please call Angels Moving Autos at 530-245-0481 for a shipping quote.

Hyundai, Mazda and Ford offering support to victims of Colorado flooding

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

Hyundai, Mazda and Ford have initiated programs to aid victims of the recent floods across Colorado. Hyundai is stepping in to give help directly to drivers, offering those with flood-damaged vehicles a $750 credit on a new Hyundai. "At this stressful time, the last thing flood victims should be concerned with is how they are going to replace their water-damaged or destroyed vehicles," Dave Zuchowski, executive vice president of Hyundai's American sales, said.
The Hyundai program will run from September 18 through the end of October, and will cover all citizens in counties declared disaster areas by FEMA. Residents will need to provide proof of residency and a letter from their insurance company describing the damage to their vehicle.
Mazda, on Friday, announced that it'd be donating $25,000 to the American Red Cross and a further $15,000 to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, in the name of disaster relief. Mazda's President and CEO, Jim O'Sullivan, said, "The flooding across the states of Colorado, Texas and New Mexico has been absolutely devastating for not only the people living there but their four-legged loved ones as well. Mazda hopes that those in need can get the help they deserve through such great organizations as American Red Cross and Humane Society of Boulder Valley."

World Car of the Year finalists announced

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).

Mazda2 production fires up in Mexico

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Mazda has officially kicked off production of the next-generation Mazda2 at the company's new factory in Salamanca, Mexico. Alongside the auto assembly plant, operations have also commenced at the facility's engine machining factory.
"With the start of production of the all-new Mazda2, operations underway at the engine machining plant, and an increase in our annual production capacity, we now have an even stronger production framework capable of supplying global markets with Skyactiv products of the same high quality level as those made in Japan," Mazda de Mexico Vehicle Operation's President Keishi Egawa said in a statement. "At the same time, we are pleased to be able to make a contribution to Mexico's further economic growth."
MMVO joins Mazda's Hofu Plant in Japan and the Auto Alliance factory in Thailand, which commenced Mazda2 production in July and September, respectively.
