  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.

Mazda3 to showcase CNG, Hybrid versions in Tokyo

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Mazda has made huge gains in its competitive set with the introduction of its Skyactiv technologies, and the Japanese automaker appears to have no plans on slowing down. While we're still waiting for the Mazda6 Skyactiv-D diesel to go on sale in the US, Mazda announced that it will debut new Skyactiv-Hybrid and Skyactiv-CNG versions of the Mazda3 (standard US-spec model shown above) at next month's Tokyo Motor Show.
Matching up with what we heard earlier in the summer, the Mazda3 Skyactiv-Hybrid is intended for Japan only, but there are no details about this system regarding fuel economy, electric components or specs. Likewise, there are no details for the Mazda3 Skyactiv-CNG Concept, which is a bi-fuel version of the car running on both gasoline and compressed natural gas. As this car's name suggests, the CNG model is a concept vehicle, and there is no indication that Mazda plans offering such a model here in the US.
In addition to these two vehicles, Mazda will also have an Atenza (Mazda6) on display showing off some vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) safety systems, called the ASV-5 (Advanced Safety Vehicle). Scroll down for Mazda's official press release.

Mazda announces live-streaming vehicle intro on Xbox

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

In April, Mazda introduced a marketing campaign titled "Game Changers" to showcase how certain people have made significant impacts in their respective sports, and now it's the Japanese automaker that is changing the game by creating an innovative way to launch a new product. Mazda is teaming up with Xbox to offer a first-of-its-kind live-streaming global debut of a new product. Mazda didn't say which model will be debuted, but our guess is that it will be the next-generation Mazda3.
The actual reveal will take place at 9 pm on June 26 during a live concert from the band Metric in New York City, but there will be other live events preceding the concert in Melbourne, St. Petersburg, Istanbul and London. Mazda will be promoting the event on social media using the hashtag #GameChanger, and there is also a contest on Xbox where one winner will receive $2,500 to attend a music event of their choice. Scroll down for the full details of the contest and vehicle debut event.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
