1991 Mazda Miata MX-5

1991 Mazda Miata - PA Reconstructed flood Title. I picked this Miata up last year at a local salvage auction. I personally walk the entire lot of 600 cars every Thursday to find the best of the lot. Usually I find about 10 cars out of 600 that I believe are repairable and worth fixing. This car started as a low fresh water flood, with water level reaching up about 1" above the rocker panel (see pictures). Luckily there is not much wiring located low on these cars other than the ecu which was easily replaced. Next I completely go over the entire car to determine if it needs other parts to pass inspection. I have over 20 years experience with 12 volt automotive electronics. I specifically target LOW flood vehicles for rebuilding.

Here is a list of all the NEW parts I just installed.

Clutch, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, flywheel cut, new ceramic brake pads with cross drilled rotors, all 4 brake calipers, new battery, All fluids changed, All Exhaust except catalytic converter - downpipe/midpipe/muffler/tailpipe.

Tires have 85% tread. The car runs and drives great. It has factory power windows, cruise control, aftermarket alarm system with keyless entry, cold AC. Top is still in decent shape, probably has a few years left on it. I replaced plastic bezel around the radio and HVAC with a new aftermarket one due to dry rot. Car was recently repainted by previous owner and shows very well.

Before a Salvage car is allowed to be put back on the road it must go through a Enhanced Pennsylvania inspection. This determines that the car was properly repaired. Next I run the car through the standard PA inspection process. It easily passed and will have a new PA inspection stickers right before purchase for PA buyers. Mileage shows 89,000 miles but is exempt on title.

Miata is located in Perkasie, PA 18944 Please email me to set up appointment to drive the car.

Tow truck driver hilariously bad at righting a flipped Mazda

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

Can rolling your car get any worse? The correct answer is yes, as this poor soul found out when he rolled his Mazda3 onto its side. Calling a tow truck might be a logical, post-rollover move, but in this case, it kind of made the situation worse.
We don't want to give away just what happened, so you'll need to scroll down and watch the video. A fair warning, though, it does contain a moment of colorful language towards the end, so watching it at work, with the volume up, might not be wise. Have a look below for the full video.

Masamichi Kogai new Mazda president and CEO

Fri, 10 May 2013

There's some executive rearranging going on in the top suite at Mazda Motor Corporation in Japan, with current CEO Takashi Yamanouchi telling reporters there "I'd like to hand over the work to younger people" now that the company has returned to profitability. Yamanouchi became CEO on November 19, 2008 of an independent Mazda that had to fight for its future in the immediate aftermath of the global financial crisis. What followed was four years of losses before finally getting back to black last year.
Masamichi Kogai (pictured) will be appointed the new president and CEO on June 25, pending approval at the company's annual general shareholders' meeting. Kogai assisted Seita Kanai with the production-efficiency initiative that Mazda called Mono Tsukuri Innovation, which worked to give export-dependent Mazda the best chance at profitability in spite of a rising yen. Kogai, lately in charge of production and purchasing, has been with the company since 1977 and worked in areas from R&D to logistics.
Kanai, who headed the Mono Tsukuri effort and was among the leadership on Skyactiv, will be promoted from executive vice president to vice chairman. Akira Marumoto will become executive VP of Mazda and assistant to new president Kogai. Yamanouchi will remain Chairman of the Board. There's a short press release below to make it official.

Dealers think Mazda's new Mexico plant will increase Mazda3 sales by 20%

Mon, 27 Jan 2014

Mazda3 sales in the US were down about 15 percent last year to a total of 104,713 units. According to a report from Automotive News, though, the slowdown in sales has been due more to production constraints than demand.
Good news for Mazda dealers, then, that a new plant in Salamanca, Mexico has just come online. Tom Carey, chairman of Mazda's national dealer council, told AN, "We're going to be in good shape because of that Mexico inventory." If estimates prove accurate, sales of the Mazda3 will increase by about 20 percent when the new plant begins production this month.
If those lofty projections come to pass, Mazda will reportedly be on track to exceed 300,000 total sales in the US in 2014, which would represent the brand's highest figures since its 375,000-unit peak in 1994. The brand hopes to sell more than 400,000 vehicles in the US by 2016, and with well-received products like the latest 3 and Mazda6 sedan, such expectations seem quite possible.
