This is a 1994 Mazda Miata, Limited Edition "M-Edition". I am the fourth owner. The second owner drove it until the Timing Belt broke at around the 83,000 mile mark then let it sit. The third owner bought it to repair, but didn't have time to, so I bought it from him. The body is perfect with no rust. The following items had been replaced:

Battery
Clutch Master Cylinder
Clutch Slave Cylinder
Engine Mounts
Fuel Injector Harness
Fuel Tank
Most Gaskets
Radiator
Radiator Hoses
Radio
Starter
Timing Belt
Tires
Vinyl Top

The air conditioning system was professionally repaired by Mazda of Wesley Chapel and is blowing cold air. The fuel injectors were removed, professionally serviced and flow tested - They are working like new.

Here are the negatives:

The leather seats are worn and need to be either covered or replaced - See Pictures.
While installing the new cloth top, I inadvertently drilled a hole through the top. It's been patched and it doesn't leak, but you could definitely see the repair - See Picture.
The Paint - The top (clear) coat is peeling on the front fender (see picture).
The Speakers need to be replaced.
Antenna - The top is broken and I believe it should retract, but it doesn't.
The steering wheel is worn and I have a cover over it.

All the negatives are relatively minor and don't impact the ride. The engine is strong and relatively young (only 85,000 miles) and provides for a fun and peppy ride. Fix up the mostly cosmetic repairs and you have yourself a pretty cool (and rare) ride.

According to a Miata website, "only 3,000 of these were made in 1994. The Mazda Miata M Edition series of vehicles are very desirable and sought after by Miata enthusiasts. Searching for a low mileage clean M Edition and finding one is to may like finding the ultimate Miata. Fairly expensive when first introduced, they can now be found priced as a regular used car, particularly if the seller has no idea what an M Edition is. Further, the well known used car resale value guides seem to somewhat under value what Miatas are actually trading hands for. Most clean Miatas will usually sell over blue book value. M Editions are not sequentially numbered and their VIN numbers will be scattered throughout the regular run for each year. A total of 12,470 M Editions were manufactured throughout the 4 year run. The colors and features will make any M Edition stand out at a gathering of Miatas and the clean low mileage ones are harder and harder to find. Montego Blue Mica is the only M Edition color that was used as a regular color in subsequent years through 1997. The chrome 7 spoke wheels best identify the '94 M as well as M Edition badging, but 1994 is also the last year for the real oil pressure gauge. The '94 M was the only M-Edition that came with the original style of leather seats that were designed to emulate the seats in certain Ferrari models. Special features include a Nardi wood shift knob and hand brake handle, polished 7 spoke alloy wheels with locks, air conditioning, stainless M Edition sill plates, M Edition custom mats, power steering, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power mirrors, alloy wheels, Torsen limited slip differential, cruise control, power window, headrest speakers and a power antenna".

The car is sold AS-IS.

Jay Leno brings a rotary-powered VW Beetle to the garage

Mon, Aug 1 2016

It takes something really unique or inventive to pique Jay Leno's interest. His show, Jay Leno's Garage, has featured everything from concours-worthy classics to completely custom, home-built machinery. How do you get Leno to feature one of more than 20 million Beetles on his program? Stick a turbocharged rotary engine under the hood. The Beetle's owner, Mario Markakis, swapped the car's stock flat four-cylinder for the Wankel engine from a 1990 Mazda RX-7 Series 5 Turbo. The engine's 250 horsepower are fed through a reinforced version of the Beetle's stock four-speed transmission. That's about five times the original engine's output. It works well, with the car putting down some impressive times at the drag strip. Markakis did most of the work to the Beetle in his garage. In addition to the engine swap, he's modified the car's brakes, suspension, and interior. Check out the video to hear all the details of this custom Wankel-powered Volkswagen.

2019 Mazda3 pricing starts at over $20,000, 2.5-liter engine standard

Wed, Jan 23 2019

Pricing for the 2019 Mazda3 hatchback and sedan has been announced, and the base price has gone up by about $3,000. The new cheapest model is a front-drive, automatic Mazda3 sedan, and it starts at $21,895. The base Mazda3 now has the 186-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder as the standard engine, whereas the old model came with a 155-horsepower 2.0-liter engine and manual transmission as standard. Compared like-to-like, a 2018 Mazda3 in a similar spec would be slightly more expensive ($22,035) than the 2019 model. Opting for the hatchback on the base trim adds an additional level of equipment, with 18-inch wheels instead of 16-inch ones, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual automatic climate control, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. It also gets more safety equipment including blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, radar cruise control, automatic high-beams, automatic wipers and lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist. That all adds up to a $2,600 price increase over a base sedan. These features are available on the sedan for an extra $1,600 in the form of the Select package. For all other trims, opting for the hatchback adds $1,000. Higher trim levels add features such as better sound systems, real leather, a sunroof, heads-up display and power heated seats. In addition to pricing, Mazda revealed drivetrain options for the Mazda3, and they're not great for fans of manual transmissions. The Mazda3 hatchback with front-wheel drive and Premium trim is the only manual offering, and it starts at $28,395. On the upside, at least Mazda isn't relegating manual transmissions to the stripped out versions, but on the downside, there isn't a cheap manual option for those on a budget. And of course, if you want the sedan or all-wheel drive, the six-speed automatic is your only choice. Mazda has told us that it could match a manual with all-wheel drive, but clearly it doesn't see a market for that in the U.S. But like with the addition of the turbocharged Mazda6 and CX-5, if there's demand, such a combination could become available, but keep in mind the odds will still be slim. You can see the full breakdown of trims and prices below. The 2019 Mazda3 will be available in March.
