  1988 Mazda RX-7 Convertible 5-Speed with 17,500 original miles

Up for sale is an incredibly clean and original triple black manual transmission 1988 Mazda RX-7 Convertible with 17,500 original miles.  See below for a complete description of the car.  I have a small collection of sports cars and I have exceeded my storage with a recent acquisition ('93 RX-7 with 11k miles) thus need to sell a car. 

 

Car History:

I purchased the car from the 2nd owner in August of 2013 out of Georgia.  It was previously in Virginia with the original owner since new.  It has always been stored in a garage under a car cover and with a battery tender.  The car has a clean car fax which verifies both the mileage and accident free history.  Included with the purchase are the original Owner's Manual, Accessories Guide, Warranty book, Mazda Sales Brochure, Original Window Sticker,  the original Purchase order, the like new convertible boot cover, and two keys.     

 

Vehicle Condition:

The car has zero rust and has always been a "sunny day" driver.  I have driven the car to Las Vegas twice in the last six months and the car performed perfectly.    

 

The body of the car is in great condition with no damage or signs or repair.  The original paint is in very good condition and only has a few small rock chips on the hood.  There are two places where touch up paint was used to repair very shallow scratches, one on each side of the car and are not visible in the pictures, but are in person.  That said, the original paint shines bright.

 

The 13B rotary engine is more than sufficient to propel the car and with the 5-speed manual transmission you can get the most out of the high revving rotary engine.  The engine has had required no work other than full synthetic oil & filter changes.  Same goes for the transmission with no non-maintenance repairs.  Both the engine and transmission are without issue and operate as the mileage would indicate. 

 

All vehicle electronics are fully operational including the A/C which works great and does NOT need a charge, as well as the factory radio/CD player including the headrest speakers.  I did replace the door speakers last fall, but everything else is stock and works great.  The power top and latching mechanisms work perfectly and the top easily converts to a targa should you desire a less than full convertible experience.  All glass is fee of cracks.  The only item not working correctly is the remote truck release which works infrequently. 

 

The "off black" original interior is in excellent condition with very little wear to the driver's side bolster.   All gauges work accurately as do the dash lights, clock, and even the annoying "shift up" light.   

 

The RX-7 sports Michelin MXV4 All season tires with about 2,500 miles on them.  They sit on the OEM BBS rims that in my opinion fit the car's design perfectly.  The wheels have no damage and look great. 

 

Maintenance:

Due to the low mileage and indoor storage, very little maintenance has been needed for this RX-7.  I had the car inspected prior to my purchase and only the battery was in need of servicing, everything else checked out fine.  I have receipts for the tires  as well as the most recent oil changes, but otherwise these is not much to tell.

 

Overall this is an excellent condition original FC convertible that is a lot of fun to drive and is ready to be driven anywhere.  The history is known and documented with original paperwork and a clean/clear Box A (original mileage) AZ title.  The car is located in Chandler Arizona which is a suburb of Phoenix. 

 

Auction Details:

A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 24 hours via PayPal.  Final payment via bank wire or cash is due within 7 days of the auction ending.  If the above is not complied with or other arrangements are not agreed to prior, the transaction will be canceled, negative feedback left, and the car will be re-listed.  All shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in the pick up as needed.  The car is located in Chandler, Arizona 85249.   

 

Thanks for your interest in my RX-7 and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Sell your own: 2012 Mazda CX-9 AWD

Fri, Jun 9 2017

Looking to sell your car? We make it both easy and free. Quickly create listings with up to six photos and reach millions of buyers. Log in and create your free listings. If your only connection to Mazda is the MX-5 Miata, know there's more to the Hiroshima-based carmaker than "zoom" - there's also room. The 3-row CX-9 is the roomiest Mazda, 200 inches long with some 100 cubic feet of cargo space. The CX-9 wasn't Mazda's first stab at a crossover. Its original MPV was more crossover than minivan, with a RWD/AWD platform and – get this! – an available manual trans. While the MPV morphed into a more conventional minivan, Mazda introduced the CX-7, CX-9, CX-5 and – most recently – the subcompact CX-3. Although the CX-7 is no more, the crossover segment remains hot. This for-sale CX-9 is from the model's previous generation. It's also the beneficiary of the last V6, as its more upscale replacement boasts only a turbocharged four. We like both, but the V6 is relatively refined. And this car's price of $16,000 sure beats a new CX-9's $36,000. It's almost $2K above an average selling price, but with a clean Carfax and its 60K major service behind it (and some price flexibility) this CX-9 could provide some voluminous value. Related Video:

Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency

Sun, 25 May 2014

Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.

2019 Mazda CX-9 improves its IIHS rating to Top Safety Pick +

Tue, Oct 8 2019

The 2019 Mazda CX-9 three-row crossover has managed to improve its overall safety rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety from an already respectable Top Safety Pick to the higher Top Safety Pick +. The area it needed to improve was in the headlight department, and now the crossover features a set of headlights that gets the highest "Good" rating, a prerequisite for the Top Safety Pick + award. The headlight improvement does have caveats. The top-rated headlights are only available on Signature and Grand Touring trims built after June 2019. Headlights on other trims and older models range from "Poor" to "Acceptable." All versions of the CX-9 have top scores in crash tests, though. Mazda's optional forward collision prevention system also earns full marks, stopping the crossover before hitting a car at speeds up to 25 mph. Child seat LATCH anchor access is rated as "Acceptable." Four other similarly sized and priced crossovers earn the Top Safety Pick + designation: the Hyundai Palisade, Hyundai Santa Fe, Subaru Ascent and Kia Telluride. And of those, only the Pallisade, Ascent and Telluride offer three rows of seating.
