An excellent example of an American Miata in JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) trim. In Japan it is not called a Miata Convertible, it is a Eunos Roadster and is RHD with different badging and trim and colors and seats. I had purchased a Japanese Sales Brochure and a book with great color pictures and set about making my Miata over into a Eunos. After all, several years ago Mazda proudly announced the production of its millionth Miata, takes a bit of imagination to make yours stand out in this.... sea..... of long-lived Miatas.

One road-tester for a car mag called the Miata the "finest MGB that England never made", this was based on the similarities between the two cars: same weight, same CCs of engine, similar length/width/etc. Except the Miata regularly exceeds 200,000 miles as a good functional sports car, (you can find em on Ebay with those miles)....but the MGB ...not so much...sad, and I used to race an MGB in RMVR, loved em. But lack of reliability, early parts failure and so on doomed the Brits. O well.

The car is strangely optioned, power mirrors and steering with headrest speakers and manual windows?

Now there are cheaper Miata-Eunos cars out there but consider:

NEW in last 17 months: 4 tires, complete clutch SYSTEM (clutch, TO-bearing, P-Plate, clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder, refurbish flywheel), new top, 4 wheel alignment, new grille, JVC CD and radio, EUNOS bits, inner tie-rods, radiator and A/C condenser and silicone hoses, air-management undertray, brakes, refinishing Daisy wheels with clear lacquer, timing belt/water pump and A/C belt, etc.

Some of the more significant costs: tires=350, clutch System=2100, top=900, align=80, JVC=130, tierods=340, rad=155, condenser=105, hoses=50,timingbelt+pump=515.

total= $ 4,775. for the big lumps. All the other stuff: Wipers, Eunos Bits, louvers, swapping all the major-fluids and so on...who can keep track? So all the Major Maint and replacing stuff has been done (receipts for all the above go with the car).

And then I hit a tall Chevy SUV (Slid under his rear bumper) at 25 miles per hour in the rain....just two weeks ago.

So you can see the pics of the car before, and after with the primer front. I am due to see the new front-bumper cover tomorrow for possible purchase. So I had to replace the hood, passenger side front fender, one headlightr cover, a bumper support bracket and the bumper cover, The marker lights and reflector lights did not get broken because of the slow speed so....all the bits went back on with tasteful mods (see louvers pics). All the lights work well and the car moves down the road straight and smooth. Were it not for the primer you would never know. But now I am at a crossroads, about to move my girlfriend in (yeah, even at age 72 you still have "Relationships") and I own two convertibles, a Eunos-Miata and a Mustang. Gotta sell one so.....both are listed, fate will sell one and I will keep the other. And then her Elantra will sleep inside and there will be peace in the house..

So you can fly in and drive home in a solid reliable car. I will meet you at the airport with a full tank and point you in the right direction.

NOTE: someone sent me an email on a point that I was not clear enough on....The car is completely repaired and I am driving it now MINUS the bumper cover. I am looking at one tomorrow that may/may-not be worth buying? So the Worst-Case is that you buy a Eunos that is completely drivable to go home in...minus the front bumper cover. The Best-Case is that you buy a Eunos with the front bumper cover fitted that is completely drivable to go home in. BUT IN EITHER=CASE THE CAR IS IN PRIMER FROM THE WINDSHIELD FORWARD. So it will require paint and I would recommend, for obvious reasons, white. Color is up to you of course. And both fenders have been sanded on the inside and painted with Rustolieum satin black (see pics) so that the car will outlive its brethren without rust. Nothing like being OCD...

NOTE: the S-covers (pictured) were available only in Japan and covered the speakers in the door, who knew the Japanese were into art-deco. You also get all the stock parts that were replaced by Eunos bits: hubcaps, door sills, emblems, etc. As the JDM brochure shows, they were available in Japan with red or blue interiors in addition to the black/tan we got offered and my red console? You also get the black console with it. See pics. Also have all the front end lights, Marker and Side both. You also get the original Miata cassette player/radio (in the JVC box). In addition I have two more cans of the red flexible spray paint for the doors. And the headlights pop up and shine like always. The grille is Moss Motors new, and the somewhat rare plastic piece that goes across the bottom of the windshield (always cracked) is perfect and hanging on the wall. And I am sure that I have forgotten to list all the extra bits but they will be loaded into the car as I have no use for them if the Eunos sells before the Mustang.

Mazda CX-5 getting mild refresh

Thu, 14 Aug 2014

Mazda has found both critical and commercial success with its CX-5 small crossover, and seems to be endeavoring to keep the momentum up with an upcoming refresh. As you can extrapolate from the obvious lack of the usual camouflage, the company isn't reinventing anything in the very near future of the CX-5, but it does seem as thought some tweaks are in the works.
Lighting elements fore and aft appear to have gone under the knife, with the front grille and rear fascia also seemingly to be slightly revised. The side mirrors now look slicker and slightly more upscale with their integrated turn signals, as well.
In all, expect a look that's a touch fresher, without being a radical departure from the existing visage.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.

Should you buy a leftover 2015 or a brand new 2016 model?

Fri, Nov 13 2015

One of the most common questions I get asked as a car dealer and auto auctioneer is, "When is the best time to buy a new car?" The answer is usually the time period between Labor Day and the middle of November. That's because this is when new car dealers and the manufacturers are trying to get rid of their current-model-year vehicles to make way for a small army of 2016 models. Rebates, incentives, cheap financing, and overstocks of unpopular models all help create the liquidity needed to turn the old inventory into a new set of wheels for the buying public – often at a very reduced price. But sometimes the "old" new car isn't a better pick than the "new" new car. It depends on a lot of factors, including the car in question and the differences from one model year to the next. I recently received an email from Jeff, who is interested in the Mazda CX-9 and asks whether he should buy a 2015 model or wait for the new version that will debut soon in LA. I'll use his as the example case. Length of Ownership The longer you own a vehicle, the less model year depreciation will be an issue. For example, the difference in value between a five-year-old Mazda 6 and a six-year-old version is about $1,500 according to the Manheim Market Report ($5,600 vs. $4,100). But if you look at the difference between 10-year-old and 9-year-old versions of that same vehicle, the price difference shrinks all the way down to $200. Because Jeff plans to own his new crossover for many years, the 2015 model wins in this category. View 19 Photos Rebates and Incentives The current CX-9 has a $4,000 cash incentive from Mazda. This is in part because Mazda still has quite a few left over. That $4,000 rebate for the current model is already coupled with even stronger discounts at the dealer level for those leftover 2015 models. TrueCar is showing that a loaded 2015 model can be had for $7,000 off the sticker at $28,600. You may even be able to beat that price by negotiating the deal yourself. Another thing to consider is that new models tend to be in high demand when they launch, which means that your purchase price will likely be substantially higher with the new model than it will with a leftover 2015. Again, financially speaking, this is a vote for the 2015 model. New Stuff It's also important to weigh what new features will come along with the updated model and how important they are to you.
