2007 Mazda Mx-5 Miata Convertible, Black Over Red, One-owner, Never Seen Winter on 2040-cars

Year:2007 Mileage:45000
Location:

Oxford, Connecticut, United States

Oxford, Connecticut, United States

This one-owner, smoke-free vehicle has less than 45,000 miles and is in excellent condition.  I bought it new in June 2007 for my wife and we have had it ever since.  This car was mostly driven just for fun and has been winterized and stored covered and indoors from each December through the following April. In fact, it has rarely seen rain as we usually drive it just on sunny days.  

I included a photo of the original window sticker so you can see all the features.  

The oil was changed religiously every 3,000 miles.  All four tires were replaced this year with Toyo Proxes4 205/45ZR17 rubber. Everything works as it should.  The battery is about two years old.  All manuals, keys, etc. are included.   It has never been in an accident and has been lovingly hand waxed a few times each year.  

In terms of payment, a $500 non-refundable deposit is due via PayPal within 24 hours of auction close.  The balance is due in cash when the vehicle is collected. You can arrange for shipping if you like, but I will not ship and require payment in cash before a shipper takes possession.  If you are local (the vehicle is located in Oxford, Connecticut) and want to see the vehicle before bidding, that can be arranged.  Just send me a message via eBay.  

I rounded up a little on the mileage (see photo) and may continue to drive the vehicle as weather permits, so the mileage may increase slightly.  

If you're looking for a reliable, fun vehicle at a reasonable price - THIS IS IT.  Given how little we drive it, I decided to sell it rather than pay to store it for another winter.

Masamichi Kogai new Mazda president and CEO

Fri, 10 May 2013

There's some executive rearranging going on in the top suite at Mazda Motor Corporation in Japan, with current CEO Takashi Yamanouchi telling reporters there "I'd like to hand over the work to younger people" now that the company has returned to profitability. Yamanouchi became CEO on November 19, 2008 of an independent Mazda that had to fight for its future in the immediate aftermath of the global financial crisis. What followed was four years of losses before finally getting back to black last year.
Masamichi Kogai (pictured) will be appointed the new president and CEO on June 25, pending approval at the company's annual general shareholders' meeting. Kogai assisted Seita Kanai with the production-efficiency initiative that Mazda called Mono Tsukuri Innovation, which worked to give export-dependent Mazda the best chance at profitability in spite of a rising yen. Kogai, lately in charge of production and purchasing, has been with the company since 1977 and worked in areas from R&D to logistics.
Kanai, who headed the Mono Tsukuri effort and was among the leadership on Skyactiv, will be promoted from executive vice president to vice chairman. Akira Marumoto will become executive VP of Mazda and assistant to new president Kogai. Yamanouchi will remain Chairman of the Board. There's a short press release below to make it official.

Mazda CX-3 details come to light

Sun, 09 Dec 2012

Mazda may be working on a new CUV, according to Auto Express. Reportedly called the CX-3, the small crossover will be engineered to take on the likes of the Ford EcoSport and Nissan Juke, but with a focus on fuel efficiency and engaging driving characteristics.
The report names no sources, but says the CX-3 will benefit from a new small-displacement diesel engine. The 1.6-liter oil burner will be joined by a 1.3-liter gasoline engine when the vehicle debuts in 2014. Auto Express reports the model may bow as a front-wheel drive offering only, with no all-wheel-drive option.
And what will it look like? Word has it Mazda will continue to leverage the face we've seen on the current CX-5 (pictured). That means the company's shield grille will make the jump, but with more plastic lower body cladding. Inside, Auto Express says the CX-3 will offer buyers fold-flat rear seating for extra cargo capacity.

2014 Mazda3 officially rated at 30/41 mpg, priced from $16,945*

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

It's hard not to be smitten with the 2014 Mazda3; after all, just look at it. But beyond its slick lines, we found the new compact hatch to be a pretty remarkable steer, offering up good levels of comfort and refinement, not to mention functionality and engagement. Now, there's more reason to like the 2014 Mazda3, as we've just learned that the car will officially be rated at 30 miles per gallon city and 41 mpg highway.
That 30/41 rating is for the Mazda3 sedan fitted with the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G inline four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. Opting for the manual transmission retains the 41-mpg highway number, but drops the city digits to 29. Hatchback models with the 2.0-liter engine achieve 29/40 mpg with the manual 'box and 30/40 with the automatic.
Mazda also offers a larger 2.5-liter inline-four in the 3, and while a six-speed automatic will be the only transmission available with this engine at launch, the automaker has confirmed that a manual is coming shortly. With the 6AT and 2.5, the Mazda3 sedan is rated at 28/39 mpg, or 29/40 with the company's i-Eloop regenerative braking system. Hatchback models shrink those numbers to 28/37 and 29/39 mpg, with and without i-Eloop, respectively.
