2007 Mazda Miata Grand Touring
Red Mica with Tan Leather Seats and Canvas Top
6-Speed Automatic with paddle-shifters
Leather, Heated Seats
Just under 60,000 miles but will be driven occaisonally until sold
Brakes are original, but have plenty of life left. Tires were new last fall with about 5,000 miles on them. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. Also included for this price are a set of 1-season old snow tires and lug nuts, Michelin X-Ice Xi3 mounted to aluminum wheels, Sport Edition F10, like new with only a few thousand miles driven.
Car includes premium package, with Xenon headlights, RFID "smart-key" door locks, and stability control. The key is credit-card shaped and you don't even have to take it out of your pocket/bag/wallet.
I also added, and installed by Partyka Mazda, an OEM limited slip rear end that was parted from a 2006 miata. In addition, I've added an aux input to the factory Bose radio
Other add-on is an air-horn. Not train-loud, but helps get attention when needed. Also included is a cabin air-scoop for those top-down summer drives. (Google cool-breeze scoop if you're interested)
I absolutely love this car, but I have automotive A.D.D. and am looking to buy something else this year.
For the bads, there are a few things that are known as problems on this model/year car, that are present. It's a small convertible, and noises are easily heard. You can hear the fuel pump, since it's just behind the seats. Plus, there are a few interior squeaks that come and go. Didn't stop me from taking it top-down to Alabama and back though! The seatbelts are a bit lazy, the drivers especially so. This doesn't effect their use or safety, other than you have to help them back in. The speakers have developed a buzz that comes and goes, which is a common problem with the Bose speakers, since they are not shielded from the weather from inside the door and eventually rain and humidity get to them. There is an aftermarket replacement set available for $2-300 if it becomes too bothersome for you. The other maintenance item that should be considered, is that one of the serpentine guide pullys in the engine is beginning to develop a slight whine. This is just a 60,000 mile maintenance item that needs addressed at some point, and parts are less than $100. 2 of the rims have curb rash, but this was before the new tires, so all are balanced and roll smooth. Paint is 8.5/10 as there are the usual small scratches and front end chips, and 2 small dings over the LR wheel well.
Any questions?
There is currently a lien on the vehicle, which will delay you being able to register it for a short while.

Mazda6 GX Grand-Am racer goes where no diesel sedan has gone before
Sat, 26 Jan 2013There has never been a four-door diesel sedan in the Grand-Am series, until now: The blunt, bewinged grille of the Mazda6 GX has blown right through that wall. It's said that racing improves the breed, but usually the breed has gone on sale when the racing begins. One of the unusual aspects of the Mazda6 GX, on the other hand, is that while the diesel won't go on sale to the public until later this year, it will already have tasted racing blood by the end of the day. That kind of reversal is more likely found with super coupes like the Lexus LFA and Honda NSX.
Mazda has taken class wins at Daytona's 24-hour race a whopping 23 times since 1975, most recently in 2010 with the RX-8 in the GT class. This year the Hiroshima company decided to show off its SkyActiv technology, then turned things up to eleven by opting for its SkyActiv-D instead of the more conventional SkyActiv-G gas engine to run in the new GX class. It will be joined by competitors like the Lotus Evora and Porsche Cayman in the class, nevertheless, at 2.4 liters, it's the smallest engine on the grid.
Time has not been a friend, either - Mazda said that the first five SkyActiv-D engines off the production line went to Speed Source in Coral Springs, Florida, the company that preps Mazda's race vehicles. Still, race driver Jonathan Baumarito on the #70 car said that although the engine's been on the dyno since February of last year, it's only been in the car for about a month and there have been only a couple of test days.
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.
Mazda Miata 'fathers' Hall and Case offer a tour through the roadster's history
Wed, 10 Sep 2014The original Mazda Miata broke onto the automotive scene in 1989 and was a huge success. However, the convertible's genesis goes all the way back to the early '80s. Bob Hall and Dean Case were among the inside men of the program on the US side, and they were on hand at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca during the recent MX-5 event there to tell some of their stories about the project's beginning.
Hall was on the Miata project from very early on, and one of his most fascinating stories is how the convertible got its shape. The droptop wasn't necessarily going to be a rear-wheel drive roadster. There were both front-wheel-drive coupe and mid-engine concepts being considered. In fact, the classic look of the NA generation was the least favorite of the three at the sketch stage.
Hall comes off as a jokester hiding a genius mind. He has a fountain of information in his head about what a Miata should be, but it all comes down to "less is more." However, he admits that it's easy to conceive that idea, but it's much harder to actually execute it well.
