I am selling my BlACK 1993 Mazda RX7, its the R1, if you know about these cars the R1 is the lightweight version and very rare. They only made 638 R1 in Black. I also have a CMY R1 that's not for sale as I just put a motor in it and I have been driving it this summer. The black R1 pictured and described is unmodified since new. I owned it since 2006, bought it from my longtime friend who owned it a long time prior. I have put about 17k miles on it, always in summer months and have had no issues with it. The car runs good, shifts smoothly, turbos seem ok, power windows work ok, both mirrors are original and work. The exhaust is totally stock. So is the intake, turbos and intercooler, no blow off valves, no cat back, no extra gauges no extra add-ons no mods. Nothing has been touched under it even and its mechanicals appear to me to be all original and stock. I have not driven it in a year but I pulled it out of storage today and it started right up. Airbag light came on and has not shut off, I do not know why but maybe because battery was low it threw a fault. It has a black interior, seats are the right R1 in velour, correct aluminum hood. Stock original engine and rear strut reinforcement bars are on it. I think this is a good RX7 and its rarity is even better. I rarely see any other third gen cars. Whenever I stop it draws a crowd of guys who like it and know its rare and are always asking questions about it. It always gets a thumbs up in traffic. And its fast as balls if you want to run it hard. This one is best for the purist who can live with a few things it needs and fix its faults as he has time. I will list to the best of my knowledge the things that it needs and some history I know of it. If you want a flawless one its not for you. I had it painted couple years ago and my painted lost a few things for it, he did a decent job but got sick and couldn't finish it up. Its not going to win any major car shows but it looks pretty good for a daily driver. The windshield guy cracked the windshield when he was putting the seal on it and the molding itself for the windshield gasket is not there. So it needs a new w/s and a fresh seal. I never put the rear view mirror back on it as the windshield cracked and it is there and is included. You can see the crack in driver side by the lower dash area. Its traveled a few inches in last couple years. The Original Wheels are ok BUT one or two must be out of round or bent, maybe bent from our lousy roads in PA (can you say we need a new governor and Pa has lousy roads? Anyway it feels out of balance and there is a vibration in car at speed which I am certain is wheel balance issue or from a bent alloy. Driver door scuff molding is missing, driver upper trim on outside of door was lost, used ones on evil bay for about 70 bucks, I think you can still buy it new though from Mazda, the driver fender air vent is not there, they are usually on ebay for 40 bucks, and gas filler door I cracked putting gas in it, they are flimsy to say the least, I see one on evilbay for 80 bucks now and a new one is listed for around 112. Original hood and no old front accidents are apparent. Some of the interior trim needs to be fixed to fit better or tighter. The big plastic side panels in back have wear and missing broken snaps. There is no drivers door lid for storage, all of them I ever see seem to be broken, its missing the interior trim separator panel from rear storage bins to cargo area. When he painted it I had him strip most of the car to bare metal, we found a red roof on it and a talk with my friend revealed the car had a tree branch fall on it in his driveway and he put another used roof and hatch and both doors on the car. he was a very good metal man in his day and the roof fits nicely. But the interior trim doesn't fit perfect and may have be due to the cheap way they are made and fit with push in snaps. it might be easier to jut put a few countersunk screws in it to hold them better and more securely and forget it. I did take off one A post pillar once and looked to see why the wiring for the rear hatch is there but the dome light does not work. But I forget why I never fixed it. I never bothered to check the wiring further to the dome light and frankly don't care anyway if the dome light doesn't work. The headliner has a small tear in it. By gas filler there a small dent, passenger front fender has a parking lot scratch pretty deep. Non original Radio is loose in dash I don't know what up with that. The FM is working when it feels like it, but the Cd works fine. Power antenna was working last time I checked, the AC is cold and works. Car has spare and jack etc. Pic of speedo and car photos were taken TODAY. Spoilers are both correct and original for the R1 third gen....I think I have the RX7 letters and emblems for rear body and hood, I will have to check, if I have them they are yours, if not don't hold me to it. On the body side of issues to be fair in my description: He used a non R1 hatch which has a wiper when he put the used roof on, (the hatch he used was a touring one with a wiper). The body guys filled in the wiper hole but they forgot to remove the rear washer jet on top of hatch and fill it in. No big deal to me but hey I am trying to tell you what I know and see that you don't see. Both doors close ok, seams and lines look fine and its has never been an issue with me so I don't care it had a roof put on it. Plus the title is clean and so is carfax. What you don't see too good in pics are driver front fender has a couple scratches and scuffs. There is a small oil leak someplace and once in a while you can smell oil or see oil smoke from front so I assume some is leaking onto the exhaust. Its a black car and black shows everything, so yes you don't see any scratches scuffs bird stains rain drops in photos etc. But they are there. Ask any question by email or call me usa east coast before 8 PM 5708156504 Please NO TEXTING ME. If its a legit question I will answer it and post it if not I won't bother. Don't ask reserve, bid and be ready to buy it. Please DO NOT ASK ME TO TRADE ANYYHING INCLUDING CARS I DON'T NEED ANYMPORE OF I WOULD NOT SELL A RARE R1 Guys, if you don't have cash in hand don't bid I don't need the money and don't want to sound rude. I have a lot of cars including a CMY R1. As a Mazda guy I owned the first rx7 in my area in 79, i had a new GSL in 83, a new gsl-se in 84 and bought a new second gen turbo II in 87. I was in the biz for years and have owned hundreds of rx7, yes hundreds, so I know the cars pretty well and think its a good deal and a wise investment for the right guy. I am simply trimming my collection of cars and boats and real estate down, I really just don't have time to drive them or use most of them. Personally I think the R1s will be worth some long green down the road and that's why this one is worth spending a few bucks on and I would suggest to leave it stock. Car is in Scranton, Pa, title is in my name. GREEN Cash talks you know the drill. If you are out of area bid accordingly, its AS IS NO RETURNS NO CRYBABYS NO REMORE. Venue of sale is Lackawanna County, PA. By bidding you agree to the rules of sale venue and AS IS WHERE IS NO WARRANTY STATED NOR IMPLIED. ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED IS SOLEY TO ASSIST YOU INMAKING A REASONABLE ASSESSMENT OF THE CAR. I will assist anyway I can to help with transport, I am near the major Interstate 84 380 81 but I prefer you come see it in person and drive it home. |

The 2020 Mazda CX-30 will start at $22,945 with 2.5L power
Wed, Nov 20 2019We saw the CX-30 debut in Geneva earlier this year, and now Mazda has made its U.S. specification and pricing official. To get right down to it, the new crossover that splits the small end of the company’s crossover lineup will start at $22,945. We also have some solid information about spec and trim levels for our market, with some notable differences to how it can be equipped in Europe in particular. For one, like the latest Mazda3, it can only be equipped with a 186 horsepower 2.5-liter engine (naturally-aspirated, to be clear). Europeans can get a range of engines, and our neighbors in Canada and Mexico can get a 2.0-liter gas engine. A six-speed automatic is similarly our only transmission choice. All trims are available with front- or all-wheel drive. No word on whether the (somewhat underwhelming) Skyactiv-D diesel or (rather incredible) Skyactiv-X compression-ignition engines will be available. The materials Mazda provided us ahead of the CX-30Â’s U.S. debut focus heavily on the vehicleÂ’s standard equipment, including the now standard Mazda Connected Services — offering a variety of remote functionality and monitoring via the MyMazda app. Nothing you wouldnÂ’t expect from this sort of connectivity feature, including remote start and lock/unlock, as well as a WiFi hotspot (via Verizon, which is the parent company of Autoblog) and emergency assistance calls. Note that itÂ’s a three-year free trial; after that it becomes a subscription service, with a price weÂ’ll share with you once we learn it. There are four trims for the CX-30. The base model has some decent standard equipment: an 8.8-inch infotainment display, automatic headlights and the standard i-Activsense safety suite including driver inattention alert, radar cruiser control, lane departure warning with lane keeping assist, emergency braking assist and automatic high beams. Notably, blind spot monitoring is not available in the base model; buyers will have to step up to the next trim, Select, to get that safety feature. WeÂ’re disappointed that itÂ’s not standard across the board. So too with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, also only available on Select and above. The Select trim is $24,945, and provides those features mentioned above as well as leatherette seats, keyless entry and 18-inch wheels. The Preferred trim ($27,245) provides upgraded audio, heated front seats, a power driver seat, a black gloss grille and a SiriusXM trial.
Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
Mazda taps Americas head as CEO to raise game in its biggest market
Fri, May 11 2018TOKYO — Mazda has named the head of its Americas operations as its next president and CEO after its current chief steps down in June, as Japan's fifth-largest automaker seeks to boost profitability in North America, its biggest market. The company said on Friday that Masamichi Kogai will step down and be replaced by current vice president Akira Marumoto, who now oversees operations in the Americas. The changes are effective June 26 after Mazda's annual shareholders' meeting. Mazda, which has global annual sales of around 1.6 million vehicles, has enjoyed a run of rising vehicle sales, expanding in markets particularly in North America, which accounts for nearly 30 percent of total sales. But as one of Japan's smaller automakers and a tiny player globally, it faces growing competition in the United States, where market growth has slowed, and where the company's profitability has sagged due to higher discounting and slowing demand for sedans. The maker of the MX-5 Miata roadster and the reputed Skyactiv gasoline engines also faces higher costs to stay competitive in an industry which is being disrupted by new technologies, including self-driving cars and electric vehicles. Marumoto, a 38-year company veteran with a background in engineering who described himself as having a "strict" work ethic and admitted to being "short-tempered" at times, previously led Mazda's corporate planning and product strategy divisions before heading its Americas operations. He said that growing sales and improving profitability in the North American market would be his biggest priority, along with expanding the company's brand image as an innovative car maker. "Given the rapid changes occurring in the auto industry at the moment it's often asked whether a small company like us will be OK," Marumoto, 60, told reporters at a briefing in Tokyo. "But before we even consider this we need to show our strengths, and what makes us different if we want to grow our brand." Kogai, who became Mazda's president and CEO in 2013, will be following the footsteps of his two immediate predecessors who also held the top job for five years each. He will still be with the automaker and become its chairman, the company said. Earlier this year, Mazda announced that it would invest in a new, $1.6 billion plant in the U.S. state of Alabama as a joint venture with Toyota.
