This is a 1992 Mazda Miata that is "Black and Tan". Some call it a special edition, some call it a limited edition, others argue that it is neither. At any rate, it came with special edition features like BBS wheels, Nardi wooden gear shift knob and hand brake lever, the C package options, etc. This one has the optional removable hardtop (with defroster) as well.
I have conflicted feelings about selling my "baby". It has been a garage queen all of its life and has no dents or dings. The paint is bright and shiny (and original). There are a couple of blemishes in the finish, but nothing major and they can't really be seen in pictures, but, it is NOT a new car, it is 21 years old and has been driven 18000 miles. It was a southern California car most of its life but has been in Mississippi for the past 3+ years. It has never seen snow, ice and rarely rain.
No performance modifications have been made and it is all original with the exception of the radio (Sony Explod). The interior is near perfect with only very slight wear on the drivers seat (not ripped or torn, just a little discoloration where you slide into the seat). I have the original radio (same radio but not the original one from the car), original floor mats (I put aftermarket floor mats in the car to protect the original ones), original gearshift knob (I removed it because it sat to high for me) and the original tonneau cover.
I am the second owner. The original owner sprayed some kind of stuff on the dash to keep the aftermarket dash cover from sliding around. I have not fixed this and am not sure what would be the easiest way to fix it. The original owner also installed an alarm system with electric locks and a remote key fob and an amp for the stereo is mounted in the trunk. I installed a battery cut off switch on the battery to avoid it losing power while parked in the garage.
The car has air conditioning, power windows, brakes, antennae and locks, cruise control, 5 speed manual transmission, leather seats and the removable hardtop (which I have never taken off). The car is in excellent condition inside and outside as well as mechanically. It does not leak anywhere or have any weird noises, etc. It has relatively new Michelin tires with about 3500 miles on them. That's about all I can think to put in the description, but feel free to email me with questions.
Although I am not really trying too hard to sell it, it is for sale locally and I will cancel the auction if need be because of local sale or other reason. I set the reserve at the price I would be willing to pay for the vehicle if I was in the market for one. I consider it reasonable, others may not. Please don't ask what it is, I am just going to let the auction take its course. As I said before, I have mixed feelings about selling the car. If it doesn't sell, I have no problem keeping it. I absolutely love driving it.
I do require a non-refundable $500 deposit through PayPal within 48 hours of auction end with payment in full (cash or certified funds must be cleared before car will be released) within 5 days from the end of auction. Unless sold locally, I will not remove it from ebay and sell it to anyone so, please, do not ask (I feel that would be cheating ebay and I won't do it). This car is being offered for sale "as is, where is" with no warranty whatsoever. I have never tried to ship a car before, but will work with you if you arrange everything...but only after payment in full has been made.
I am going to try and post a couple of pictures, but email me if you want to see other pictures or pictures of something specific (within reason). I can take pictures and email them to you. Well, that's all I can think of for now, thanks for looking.
On Feb-24-13 at 14:46:38 PST, seller added the following information:
I have taken more pictures but am having trouble uploading them. If you want more pictures, please email me. I looked more closely at the odometer today and the actual mileage is 18,793 rather than 18,200. More pictures will be added when ebay allows it.

Hyundai, Mazda and Ford offering support to victims of Colorado flooding
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Hyundai, Mazda and Ford have initiated programs to aid victims of the recent floods across Colorado. Hyundai is stepping in to give help directly to drivers, offering those with flood-damaged vehicles a $750 credit on a new Hyundai. "At this stressful time, the last thing flood victims should be concerned with is how they are going to replace their water-damaged or destroyed vehicles," Dave Zuchowski, executive vice president of Hyundai's American sales, said.
The Hyundai program will run from September 18 through the end of October, and will cover all citizens in counties declared disaster areas by FEMA. Residents will need to provide proof of residency and a letter from their insurance company describing the damage to their vehicle.
Mazda, on Friday, announced that it'd be donating $25,000 to the American Red Cross and a further $15,000 to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, in the name of disaster relief. Mazda's President and CEO, Jim O'Sullivan, said, "The flooding across the states of Colorado, Texas and New Mexico has been absolutely devastating for not only the people living there but their four-legged loved ones as well. Mazda hopes that those in need can get the help they deserve through such great organizations as American Red Cross and Humane Society of Boulder Valley."
Mazda going back to oval grille with next MX-5 Miata
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The original Mazda MX-5 Miata was distinguished by an oval grille - a design trait that gradually evolved into the smiling cat face on the latest model. But Mazda, according to the latest intel, is planning on returning to that oval grille with the new model in the works.
The revised grille will cap a slightly longer form than models past, while still keeping weight down to a minimum. The stretched wheelbase was reportedly adopted in order to meet the requirements of Alfa Romeo, which is jointly developing the new platform together with Mazda for use on a new roadster of its own.
The new Miata is expected to adopt the 1.5-liter Skyactiv four found in the Mazda3, albeit returned to rev higher and deliver more power and torque, mated to either a six-speed manual or automatic. The Alfa version, meanwhile, is expected to use a 1.4-liter turbo four with a dual-clutch transmission. Sources anticipate the new MX-5 to debut first, possibly at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show a little less than a year from now.
Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?
Thu, 25 Sep 2014People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.
