This is a NO RESERVE listing.
This is my 1988 Mazda RX-7 GXL 5-speed coupe with 60,342 original miles. This has got to be one of the cleanest, most-original, best-condition 2nd-generation RX-7 models for sale in the country. Not many of these cars exist with such low miles, original paint and in superb mechanical condition- this car is outstandingly nice. This car has the following equipment and options:
I have the original books, manuals and dealer brochures with the car as well as two keys. This car is in exceptional condition for its age. This car hasn't been modified, hacked up or molested in any way. This is a completely stock, original-condition car that runs and drives perfectly. I would trust this car to drive across the country if someone wanted to. The paint and body of this car are in quite good condition for a 1988 vehicle. The paint is original, and the car hasn't been in any known accidents. The paint looks superb for it's age, with excellent gloss and very few stone nicks and no major problems. The body is clean and very nice. The aluminum wheels are in very good condition, the glass is all good and the tires are nearly brand new. The interior of this RX-7 is very well-preserved and in great condition. The seats, upholstery and carpets are original and they are clean and aren't ripped up or worn out. The seat fabric is very nice and the carpets and even the factory "RX-7" floormats look nice. All of the switchgear, buttons and interior hardware are clean and aren't worn out and nothing is missing or broken. All the interior buttons and switches are working, as well as all of the gauges. The warning lights on the dashboard and gauge cluster are all working properly when the key is turned forward, and they all properly go out when the car is started. This RX-7 runs and drives beautifully. This is a tight, stable, nimble and fun-to-drive car that drives exactly how you would expect a 60,000 mile car to drive. The rotary engine starts perfectly and it doesn't smoke or leak, and it makes plenty of power. The engine doesn't burn oil nor coolant nor does it smoke even under full throttle. The engine revs to 2800 rpm when starting just as it should, and then settles down into a smooth idle. The transmission shifts well and the clutch is strong. The steering is tight, and the handling is excellent. The brakes are smooth and powerful and they stop the car very well. This is a super-driving, rewarding, fun car that runs and drives just as it should. I know of no mechanical or electrical problems, and everything is working- the air conditioning, the factory radio and EQ, the power locks and windows, the front and rear windshield wipers, the trunk hatch release, the sunroof, the headlight motors, etc, etc. This is a 1988 car and as such it is not a brand-new car. Here is a complete list of everything I know of wrong with the car, no matter how minor: you have to help the sunroof up when opening it- just push up gently while holding the button- after that the motors power it back just fine and it closes just fine. There are many dings on the sides of the car, mostly above the beltline and more on the passenger side- this is what I'd call "garage wear". These dings could of course be fixed but then the car wouldn't have original paint- that's why I've elected to leave them alone- the new owner may feel differently. There is a small split in the vinyl side panel of the outside of the driver's seat- you can see this clearly in the photo. There is some paint checking on the driver's side. There is a tiny bit of surface rust due to some stone nicks on the inside lip of the right rear wheel well that has been brush-touched (otherwise the car is rust-free). You can't rush the 1-2 shift under very high rpms, you need to shift relatively slowly- under normal lower-rpm driving there is no issue at all. There is a defroster vent at the left corner of the dash that is missing its louvers. One "Mazda" center cap is missing from the aluminum wheels. That's it. This is a super clean, beautiful condition RX-7 for the age. This car is kept in my climate-controlled garage in Willoughby, OH. You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home if you wish. Alternatively, you can have the car shipped. Please call Angels Moving Autos at 530-245-0481 for a shipping quote. Questions, please email me or call/text me at 440-339-4341. |

This map reveals the cleanest vehicles based on location
Thu, Apr 28 2016Naysayers love to point out how dirty the electricity grid mix is when it comes to charging electric vehicles. Curmudgeons are eager to jump into any conversation about EVs to enlighten the lucky listeners about how plug-in cars contribute to pollution, sometimes even throwing in a dash of climate-change denial for good measure. (Thanks, buddy. Pray, tell me more about the plight of oppressed SUV owners.) Unless someone buys an EV just because they think they're cool (which, yeah, they often are), they probably have at least a passable understanding of their environmental pros and cons. As many EV owners are already aware, location has a lot to do with any particular plug-in car's carbon footprint. Still, there's always more to know, and knowledge is not a bad thing, especially if one uses it to do the right thing. That's why this handy-dandy map from Carnegie Mellon University is so interesting. CMU researchers have compiled information about the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of various EVs based on where they're charged, as compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. The researchers looked at the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt, and Prius Plug-In Hybrid versus the gasoline-dependent Toyota Prius hybrid and the stop-start-equipped Mazda3 with i-ELOOP and compared grams of CO2 emitted per mile. CMU takes into account the grid mix, ambient temperature, and driving patterns. CMU takes into account the grid mix based on county, as well as ambient temperature and driving patterns in terms of miles traveled on the highway or in the city. For instance, if you drive a Nissan Leaf in urban areas of California, Texas, or Florida, your carbon footprint is lower than it would be if you were driving a standard Toyota Prius. However, if you charge your Leaf in the Midwest or the South, for the most part, you've got a larger carbon footprint than the Prius. If you live in the rural Midwest, you'd probably even be better off driving a Mazda3. Throughout the country, the Chevrolet Volt has a larger carbon footprint than the Toyota Prius, but a smaller one than the Mazda3 in a lot of urban counties in the US. The Prius and Prius Plug-In are relatively equal across the US. Having trouble keeping it straight? That's not surprising. The comparisons between plug-in and gasoline vehicles are much more nuanced than the loudest voices usually let on.
IIHS Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ awards get tougher: Here are the latest winners
Thu, Feb 13 2020Automakers love to trumpet the accolades from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, but the agency keeps making its best grades harder to achieve. For 2020, it is raising the bar again, requiring a better score in the passenger-side small-overlap crash test, wider availability of top-performing headlights, and automatic emergency braking systems that effectively avoid collisions with pedestrians, in addition to its previous benchmarks. Why the 2020 criteria is harder: To be named either a Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+, the required performance in the passenger-side small-overlap crash test has been raised from Acceptable to Good, meaning that the model must achieve Good ratings in all crash tests. The Nissan Rogue, for example, scored an Acceptable in the passenger-side small overlap crash, and so it loses its Top Safety Pick rating for 2020. To achieve either of the top ratings, a vehicle's automatic emergency braking system must effectively avoid hitting pedestrians as well as other vehicles. (The automatic emergency braking system can be optional, but then the award applies to the model only when so equipped.) Any vehicle whose automatic emergency braking system does not include pedestrian detection would lose its TSP or TSP+ rating for 2020, the Ram 1500 being one example. To be named a Top Safety Pick+, the model can have no variant with headlights that achieve less than an Acceptable rating (most new cars have different headlights — often LEDs — that are exclusive to upper trim levels).
