Classic Collector's Mazda 626 on 2040-cars
Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States
Serious offers only. This is for a full car and will not be sold
off for parts. This is a one-of-a-kind classic. I'm only the car's
second owner and I have all of the paperwork sent to the original buyer
from the dealership it was purchased from. It has less than sixty one
thousand original miles on it, as verified by the Utah Department
of Motor Vehicle at the time I bought the car. In February of 2012, the
car was hit on the passenger's side by a woman doing 40 mph in a 10 mph
zone. There are only a few other minor dings here and there on the
body, in that there's only one other that's larger than a fifty cent
piece. The car also has a mustache on the hood that has been fixed with a
permanent adhesive of sorts, not sure what. The interior needs to be
replaced as the car sat out in the sun for many years and wasn't
protected from the elements. When I bought the car, it had been sitting
for at least four years, as the original owner had moved to a retirement
home and didn't think anything more about the car. There are three
things that I know for certain are wrong with the car. It has a blown
head gasket (from sitting for so long), it needs a new clutch/flywheel
assembly (it has a 5 speed transmission) and the muffler/exhaust pipe
are pretty much rusted away. The tires on it are still like new, even
though they're 8 years old. I've been told that this is truly a gem,
despite the repairs needed, and is worth a great deal to a collector.
While the repairs will run around $7000.00 (unless you can do them
yourself), I've been told by several restoration companies that it's
worth at least $10,000.00, even in it's current condition. I absolutely
love this little car and want it to go to someone that's going to spend
the time and money loving it back to the beautiful little treasure it
is. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SHIPPING AND TRANSPORTATION COSTS TO HAVE THE CAR DELIVERED.

More photos of the 2014 Mazda3 sedan
Wed, 10 Jul 2013Thanks to the folks at Top Gear Russia, we got an early glimpse of the 2014 Mazda3 sedan. Now, Mazda has released more images of its sleek new four-door, and if you like what the Japanese automaker has done with the five-door hatchback, you won't find anything to complain about with the sedan.
Many would argue that the Mazda3 sedan looks like a scaled-down version of the new Mazda6, and in many cases, that's true. But there are subtle details about the Mazda3 that we really like, starting with the larger grille that makes for a slightly more aggressive front end. On the profile, we like how the strong arching character lines that flow over the front and rear wheel wells intersect in the middle of the car and then taper off. At the rear, a short decklid rounds off a very clean design with taillamps that are indeed reminiscent of the larger Mazda6.
We can't yet confirm powertrain details (or any other specifications, really), but we fully expect the same 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G engines to carry over from the hatchback, as well as the six-speed automatic and manual transmissions.
Mazda returning to top-tier racing with diesel-powered prototype in USCC
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Mazda has unveiled its latest challenger in the top flight of endurance racing, a diesel-powered prototype that will campaign the inaugural, 2014 Tudor United SportsCar Championship. The new Skyactiv-D-powered car will make its race debut at January's Rolex 24 at Daytona.
"This is the most significant step Mazda has taken towards returning to the global racing stage since our overall victory at Le Mans in 1991," said the director of Mazda Motorsports, John Doonan. That historic racecar, the rotary-powered 787B, has grown to become one of Mazda's many, well-known racers.
More recently, the Japanese brand has been making waves in the Grand-Am series, campaigning RX-8s and, most recently, running diesel-powered Mazda6 sedans in the GX-class. Mazda will campaign two factory-backed prototypes at Daytona. Driver lineups will be announced closer to race day.
Mazda recalling 18k Mazda6 and RX-8 models over airbag inflators
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Faulty Takata airbag inflators keep taking their toll on automakers. Mazda is the latest to be affected in the US by announcing a recall covering 18,050 Mazda6 and RX-8 models to replace the front, passenger-side airbags. Specifically, the campaign covers 18,000 Mazda6 units from the 2003 and 2004 model years built between May 29, 2002, and March 4, 2004, and 50 RX-8 vehicles from the 2004 model year made between June 25, 2003, and June 30, 2003.
As with the rest of the vehicles with these faulty inflators, it's possible for the part to rupture when deploying the airbag and potentially spray shrapnel at the occupant. Mazda's defect notice goes into a bit more detail than most about the problem saying: "some propellant wafers have been produced with an inadequate compaction force, or may have been exposed to uncontrolled moisture conditions (those wafers could have absorbed moisture beyond the allowable limits)."
This isn't Mazda's first difficulty with Takata-supplied airbags this year. The company was among the seven automakers that recalled vehicles in hot-weather states over the inflators. It also had to recently fix 42,000 Mazda6 vehicles in China over the issue.
