Only 67k original miles!
This car is in great shape. I’ve never seen a cleaner interior on a car this age. No rust, engine pulls strong all the way to redline, it’s a true survivor. I am the 3rd owner. My girlfriend (2nd owner) purchased it from the original owner in May of 2011 with 42k miles. Title transferred to me in October of 2012. I have been using it as a daily driver since, and have used that experience to fix/repair/correct everything that could go wrong on a car of this age. I have the original paperwork from the sale to the original owner in 1985, as well as the original warranty paperwork (remember when there was a separate warranty for rust-proofing and cruise control?). When purchased from original owner in 2011, the seller disclosed the following work that had been done to the car: -Catless exhaust (Mazda) -Rat-Nest removal -Air pump removal -Repainted in 1995 (due to fading)
After purchase, we performed the following:
-Brake master cylinder rebuild -Sport springs from ReSpeed -New OEM brass radiator -New Fuel Pump
In the last 6 months, I have had the following done at the Mazda Dealer. All parts are OEM:
-New (less than 1k miles) Toyo Proxes -Pioneer entertainment system (CD, DVD, Bluetooth, etc) -Alternator -Water Pump -Starter -Pulleys (racing) and belts -Distributer Cap - Spark Plugs and Wires -Window Regulator -Wipers -Tie Rods - Ball Joints -Control Arms -Sway Bar links -All steering bushings -AC Re-charge -Alignment -Oil Cooler O-Ring
Some of the pictures are newer than others. The most recent have: Toyo Proxes tires and new radio. As you can see, I’ve put about $4,500 into it in the past 3 months to get it where it is now. And where it is now is awesome. If I were to keep it, I would likely finish off with fixing the few minor things that remain, which are:
-Repaint the SS trim, as it’s starting to chip/fade. Common to all RX-7 FBs, as they painted over Stainless Steel….. -Slight play in steering wheel. Again, common with FBs. I’d likely do a rack-pinion conversion if I were to keep it. -Re-Stretch the vinyl on the door panels. It’s not all that bad, but since the rest of the interior is in like-new condition, it sticks out to me (I’m picky). -Gas gauge: It works, but it registers 1/4 tank low. So when you fill the tank it shows 3/4 of a tank, and when it shows empty you’ve really got 1/4 tank left. Never really cared enough to fix that.
This car is not perfect, but it is very nice. There are a few minor scratches (mainly on the rear by the hatch latch from putting stuff in and out) as well as a rock chip or two and some barely noticeable tiny dings. Minimal, but I like to disclose these things. Absolutely NO RUST. And did I mention it drives great? Oil pressure is good, never even comes close to overheating, great engine response. I’ve had many cars in my life (BMWs, Corvettes, Porsches, etc) and never been complimented as much as when I drive this RX-7. It really is a looker, and a great car. Sale will include Mazda RX-7 car cover, as well as the original rubber pieces for the side and rear of the car (personally I think it looks better without them). Original Floor Mats in great shape, as well as aftermarket rubber floor mats. I’ll also throw in whatever extra bits I have laying around (spark plugs, Service Manual, etc) I welcome in-person inspections. I can also refer you to the service manager at Mazda that has performed all recent service. Clear title, no liens. Prefer local pickup, but can assist with shipping (at buyer’s expense) if needed. Any questions, just ask! |

Mazda on sales upswing in Europe but won't build there
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Auto sales in Europe have been a tricky proposition for some years, but Mazda has seen some success on the backs of the CX-5 and new Mazda6. According to a report form Automotive News Europe, though, that doesn't mean we should be looking for the Japanese manufacturer to set up production operations there.
Mazda's European CEO, Jeff Guyton, explained to AN that "Our intention is to have manufacturing scale. That gives you scale economy and quality through repeatability." In other words, a big honking plant in one part of the world is preferable to a half dozen small factories building the same vehicles.
European sales for Mazda are up 5.4 percent in the first half of 2013, with 74,000 units sold. That kicked the Zoom-Zoom brand's market share up from one to 1.2 percent. Small gains, but gains nonetheless. According to Guyton, Mazda would need to sell 200,000 units of just one model in Europe for local production to make sense. Mazda's best European year saw 320,000 units sold across the entire range.
Teen Miata enthusiast and friend of Autoblog passes away
Tue, 09 Sep 2014
When Thomas' illness made it impossible for him to drive, he relied on friends to do it for him.
Attending the reveal of the 2016 MX-5 Miata and the subsequent 25th anniversary celebration at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca confirmed that the little roadster maintains broad appeal, one not limited to the elderly or a certain gender as detractors might have you believe. In fact, the assembled crowd was surprisingly youthful, particularly amongst the club racer set and tuners. But one young Miata owner and superfan unfortunately wasn't in attendance - Thomas Jost, 19, was busy fighting for his life in a Maryland hospital.
Are you the 2016 Mazda Miata?
Mon, 11 Aug 2014Tech nerds are spoiled. Every year, there's a new iPhone that arrives following months and months of breathless speculation and rumormongering. We car folk have a more difficult life, because vehicles with the iPhone's cult-like devotion and following, while plentiful, only receive hefty updates after several years. Case in point, the Mazda MX-5.
There's a new one coming, and much like the iPhone 6, it'll arrive in just a few weeks. So, in lockstep with the tech folk, we're anxiously biding our time and waiting with baited breath for the expected debut date of September 3. Also, like Apple fanboys, we're clamoring over any hint or teaser as to what the next-gen Miata will bring, which is why we're showing you the above image.
That is, allegedly, the new MX-5 hiding under the sheet. Auto Motor und Sport has the image, which according to World Car Fans was released by Mazda. Of course, we've reached out to the Zoom-Zoom brand for verification of its authenticity, and will be sure to update as soon as we hear back.
