I am considering selling my 2002 Mazda Miata LS. This car is a great example of an unmolested original Miata. The ONLY things that are not stock on this car are the wheels. They are the Racing Hart 17" wheels from a 2005 Mazda Speed. I do not have the originals. Other than that this car is as-equipped from the factory. The tires are brand new (205/40/ZR17 Falkens), with less than 300 miles on them. I do not have a hard top for this car.
The car has less than 38k original miles on it. Yes, I'm sure they are original, I purchased the car from the original owner and the mileage has been documented. The title reads "actual mileage". It has never been in an accident.
The car runs great, shifts smoothly and stops great. The AC is ice cold. The power windows, locks and mirrors all work as they should. The cruise works. The fog lamps work. The rear glass in the convertible top has defrost that works. It comes with 2 factory keys and 2 key-less Fobs with security, trunk release and panic buttons. I have the original owners manual in it's case and it's in nice condition. I have the original window sticker (over 27k MSRP) The top is great, no leaks. The seals are original but still in good shape. The boot appears to be unused, all the snaps work and there are no tears. The dash is perfect, no cracks or fading. The Bose radio sounds great, I have not tested the in-dash CD Player. The power antenna works.
I wouldn't call the interior spotless, but I challenge you to find a nicer one outside of a museum.
Here are the condition issues with this car.
1: The biggest issue is the paint. There are plenty of nicks, chips, scratches, door dings, scuffs and touch-ups etc. The pictures ARE of this car, taken on 9/22/2013. And it does look that good, at that distance.
2: There are a few scuffs on the outer edges of the wheels.
3: There is wear, not wear through, on the drivers seat bolster. This mostly amounts to discoloration.
4: There are a few of the LEDs in Radio display that are faded or burned out. Every function of the radio works as it should, and after driving awhile, some seem to come back on.
The third owner of this vehicle will appreciate that there will be no joy rides of this car. I expect that a buyer will want to drive the car to verify it's condition. That's fine. However, to test drive the car, I require cash in hand to complete the sale when we get back. I will accept cash only. No checks of any kind. I am not interested in trades. I have a clean, clear Florida title in my name, at my current address, in-hand to sign over to the new owner.

Mazda refurbishing this NFL running back's 22-year-old daily driver
Thu, 10 Oct 2013I don't actually care for the Washington Redskins (which is a good thing, considering the start to their season this year), but I love their running back, Alfred Morris. Why? Well, to start with, Morris helped deliver a dominating 10-3 season for my fantasy football team last year after a flash of prescience saw me pick him up off the waiver wire in Week 1 (hit me up on Twitter if you need fantasy sports insight, guys, I'm sort of like the Ruxin of Autoblog).
Morris is also pretty endearing because of his loyalty to his car, Bentley. Hold up - that's not to say the running back has splashed out on a Continental GT or a Flying Spur. No, Morris gave his much-loved 1991 Mazda 626 the tongue-in-cheek name "Bentley" while he was still a student at Florida Atlantic. One 1,613-rushing-yard rookie season and a $2.2-million contract later, and Morris is still using his Mazda as his daily driver. It might be easy to assume that the young player is simply being really prudent with all of his newfound wealth, but the guy really just has a thing for his five-speed-manual 626.
And Mazda, of course, loves the story of Morris' affection. In an effort to keep his 626 running strong and looking good, the company's Washington D.C.-area dealers have agreed to refurbish Bentley back to its original showroom freshness. Rather than spoil the classic (?) lines of the 626, the Mazda folks are essentially restoring the car for Morris. The cracked dash will be swapped out for a factory replacement, the engine and transmission given a thorough going-over and the whole vehicle generally made as fresh as Will Smith circa 1991. Bentley is expected to be completed and rolling through the capitol city by October 15, and in the meantime, Morris has been driving around in a new 2014 Mazda6 loaner car.
Mazda2 successor to ride atop shortened CX-5 platform
Fri, 31 May 2013Mazda, looking to make the most of its new, lightweight Skyactiv vehicle architecture, will allegedly use a version of the CX-5 crossover's platform to underpin its next-generation Mazda2 hatchback, according to a report from Just-Auto.com. Of course, the Mazda2 is a much smaller vehicle than its larger CUV stablemate, so some serious chopping will no doubt be in order when it comes time to engineer the replacement for the company's smallest hatch.
Currently, the CX-5 and the sleek new Mazda6 share many of the same platform components, and this architecture will already be scaled down to support the next-generation Mazda3 sedan and hatchback, which will debut later this year. Just-Auto.com states that all of Mazda's remaining front-wheel-drive vehicles will eventually switch to reworked versions of this Skyactiv platform, including the replacement for the larger CX-9 crossover.
Also of note, Mazda will reportedly be switching to shorter, four-year lifecycles for its vehicles. This means that the newly launched Mazda6 will be replaced for the 2016 calendar year, with a refresh coming sometime in 2014. That said, vehicles with platforms supplied by other automakers (like the upcoming MX-5 Miata replacement that will share its underpinnings with an Alfa Romeo product) will not necessarily follow this four-year rule.
Mazda CEO says rotary not viable, so don't look for a new one
Tue, 19 Nov 2013We have some very sad news to report, rotor-heads fans: Don't expect a new rotary-powered vehicle anytime soon. This comes straight from Masamichi Kogai, the CEO of Mazda, which is the only company to ever market a commercially successful rotary-powered automobile in the world. The issue, as it has pretty much always been, is environmental.
While the Wankel rotary engine does indeed make a lot of power in a small, lightweight package, it does so while burning lots of fuel and emitting lots of noxious gases into the atmosphere, at least when running on gasoline. And that means the rotary engine will likely only ever be able to power niche vehicles. And that, in turn, means that it is very difficult to turn a profit on vehicles with rotary engines, particularly for a small automaker like Mazda.
"It has to be a viable commercial proposition. If we are going to adopt it, it has to be a product that can generate at least sales of 100,000 units a year. We have to be able to achieve a profit," said Kogai in an interview with Automotive News. Mazda sold 56,203 RX-7 models in the United States (the automaker's biggest market) in 1986. Sales of the RX-8 peaked in 2004, its first full year on the market, with just 23,690 units.
