  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.

2014 Mazda6: July/August 2013

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Our newest long-termer - the Soul Red 2014 Mazda6 seen here - arrived in my driveway at the end of June. Without hesitation, I immediately put it to work as a daily driver, carpool bus and family vacation sled, and it accomplished all of those tasks with aplomb. Now, more than 4,000 miles down the road, I am left convinced that Mazda's latest midsize sedan is one of the best in its segment.
During the past 60 days, I have subjected the Mazda6 to scorching travel across Southwestern deserts, wheezing climbs over 8,000-foot-high Sierra Nevada mountain passes and basking in the cool ocean breezes of Malibu. It traveled with four passengers and a full load of luggage from Los Angeles to Lake Tahoe, and it braved the bumper-to-bumper freeway congestion on a weekday trip down to San Diego. It accomplished everything that was asked of while hardly skipping a beat - it has only required a regular sip of unleaded fuel to keep it moving forward.

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
