It's time for me to downsize my collection before I lose garage space next year. I will be listing 2 Mercedes, 2 Olds 442's, a Jaguar XK8 Coupe, and this car. Please watch for my other listings if you are interested. All of these cars have something special to offer. I will be happy to assist with any inspection or pick up by carrier. I am 45 minutes South of the Atlanta airport. Payment will be accepted by bank wire transfer, check, or cash. No vehicle will be released before all funds have cleared my bank. I have a perfect eBay rating and want to keep it that way. I ask the same of you. Please don't bid unless you have the funds available to complete the transaction. All vehicles will be advertised locally, and I reserve the right to end any auction early. In fairness to all bidders, I will not disclose reserve prices. Good luck to all.

I purchased this car from it's original owner. It has always been used as an occasional driver, and I was told it had never spent a night outside or been driven in the rain. While I can't prove this, the depth of the original paint, bright chrome, clear lenses, supple rubber gaskets, still clean as new wheels, beautiful undercarriage, and flawless convertible top certainly make a strong case to back the statement. You have to drive it to truly understand how tight everything on the car feels. I have kept it garaged with the original owner's custom cover, and on a Battery Plus trickle charger since I bought it. The cover will go with the sale. I have the owner's manual, original window sticker, and the top boot that has never been taken out of it's packaging.

The body is almost perfect. There is one large scratch on the passenger door (noted in a picture), and several minor scratches around the car that aren't visible except under close observation. The paint is a very shiny, deep gloss black. All chrome is excellent. The BBS wheels are bright and without curb rash, and have premium Michelin tires with less than 1000 miles. The trunk looks unused. Under the hood is extremely clean. The convertible top shows no wear or lose of color. The leather interior is still supple and fade free. I believe the car has always been driven with the top up, and the interior has remained new in appearance. The driver side outside seat bolster shows a little wear, otherwise I would call the interior perfect. All glass is scratch free, including the convertible rear window. That's how nice she is.

1988 was the first year for the RX7 convertible, and it was a very limited production car. This one was delivered loaded. I have the original window sticker showing a $24,285 price. Options include air conditioning, power windows, 4 wheel ventilated disc brakes, cruise control, cassette player (remember those?), compact disc player with 6 speakers that included speakers in the headrests, leather seats and door trim, glass rear window with defroster, center console with armrest, BBS wheels, halogen headlamps. and illuminated glove box and ignition. For the year, this was about as good as it got.

Everything works perfectly on this beauty. The power top has rarely been used, and performs flawlessly. The shifter and clutch have no slack. The power windows are smooth. I have just had the A/C system serviced, and she blows cold on the hottest day. All fluids have been serviced since my ownership, and the oil changed again less than 100 miles ago. She can be driven anywhere without worries. While I would prefer to see it go to an appreciative collector, it would make a perfect first car for somebody's kid. I hate to see her go, but it's time. Whoever buys this lady will be more than happy with their purchase. Is it you?

Toyota/Mazda factory will reportedly be in Alabama or North Carolina

Tue, Nov 14 2017

The Toyota/Mazda factory sweepstakes appear to be nearing a conclusion as Bloomberg and Automotive News are reporting the location has been narrowed down to either North Carolina or Alabama. The joint venture plant worth $1.6 billion would add 4,000 jobs to whichever state lands it. To even be considered, Toyota and Mazda have reportedly sought a $1 billion incentive package from interested states in the form of tax breaks and other support. At least 15 states had apparently been jockeying for the factory, including Mississippi, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Texas and South Carolina. Toyota presently has an engine factory near Huntsville, Ala. The state is also currently home to Honda, Hyundai and Mercedes-Benz assembly plants. North Carolina currently does not have a car manufacturing plant. This would also represent Mazda's return to American manufacturing, as its present lineup of cars and crossovers is produced in Japan. The company had previously built cars in the United States along with its former partner Ford. Related Video:

Mazda6 diesel to race at Rolex 24, team and drivers announced

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

Mazda is getting serious about showing off the Skyactiv-D turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine in the Mazda6. The automaker has just announced it will campaign three diesel Mazda6 racers in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona in a quest to walk away with the company's 24th class win. Mazda partnered with SpeedSource to develop the race version of the new sedan, with Japanese and American engineers lending a helping hand where needed. Meanwhile, Freedom Autosport and Visit Florida Racing/SpeedSource/Yellow Dragon Racing will helm teams of their own.
Each car will make use of a five-driver team for the 24-hour race on January 26. In the interim, you can check out the full press release below for more information as well as the full driver roster. Mazda says we can expect to see the No. 70 SpeedSource car under the lights at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show later this month, as well.

100k Mazda6 sedans recalled over tire-monitoring systems

Wed, Nov 26 2014

A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is, as you might have guessed, designed to monitor the air pressure in the tires, and alert the driver if pressure drops. But a problem found in the Mazda6 could keep the system from doing its job. According to the recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the TPMS in the Mazda6 might not recognize a loss in tire pressure if all the tires slowly deflate at the same time. Under-inflated tires, it goes without saying, could increase the risk of a crash. As a result, Mazda is recalling 99,711 examples of the 2014-2015 Mazda6 to have the system's software updated. RECALL Subject : Tire Pressure Monitoring System/FMVSS 138 Report Receipt Date: OCT 27, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V675000 Component(s): TIRES Potential Number of Units Affected: 99,711 Manufacturer: Mazda North American Operations SUMMARY: Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured October 25, 2012, to October 10, 2014. If the pressures of four of the tires on an affected vehicle gradually drop at the same time, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) may not warn the driver of the drop in pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring System." CONSEQUENCE: A vehicle that is driven with under inflated tires may experience a sudden tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will update the TPMS software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on December 10, 2014. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
