1985 Mazda Rx-7 Gsl-se 81k Miles Completely Stock Excellent Condition Rx7 on 2040-cars
Alpharetta, Georgia, United States
|
OVERVIEW: 81,800 original miles Third Owner 5 speed manual - 'Tender Blue' metallic exterior, grey cloth interior Never in an Accident 100% southern car No rust no dings or dents - runs beautifully! With low original miles and completely pure (stock), this car is an absolute must for a rotary enthusiast. Additionally, unique from other first generation RX-7s, the GSL-SE was only available for model years 1984/1985 and comes equipped with the more powerful, fuel injected, 13B 1.3L rotary engine. This engine became Mazda's staple rotary on the second generation model. This car is a true enthusiasts dream as it is the most coveted of the first generation RX7's. The car is loaded with everything, including the rare bronze factory tint. It does NOT have factory leather (thank goodness; it only came in ugly brown or burgundy) or factory power steering. An absolute joy to drive. She pulls hard, shifts smoothly and looks great. Twist up the roof, open the dash vents (the old kind that let air flow directly into the car, the faster you go, the more air it blows!) and listen to the great sounding engine and exhaust. Dont fret about the Racing Beat exhaust, it doesnt sound like a Civic with a big exhaust. Great handling as you navigate the twisty roads and enjoy that feeling of a pure vehicle, low to the ground. CARE & MAINTENANCE: The vehicle has been well maintained myself or with Mazcare in Marietta (a rotary specialized shop). Typical oil changes and maintenance have occurred. When purchased, the catalytic converter had been removed for the Racing Beat exhaust and muffler, I had the catalytic converter reinstalled to meet emissions in metro Atlanta through 2010. It was since removed, replaced with pre-silencer and the catalytic converter goes with the car. I replaced all exterior light bulbs, interior lights, headlights (Sylvania Silverstar), replaced rear hatch rubber molding, driver/passenger door rubber moldings, rear hatch struts, stock speakers with exact fit replacements. I had one door ding removed several years back, body is in excellent shape very unusual for the age. Recent maintenance (05/2013) at Mazcare included, re-installation of presilencer, new spark plugs, new distributor cap and rotor, ignition wires, ignition coil, repack of front wheel bearings, replace idler arm bushings, fan clutch and alternator belt. All of this was done to keep car in tip-top shape. Everything is in working condition with the following exceptions: power antennae does not work: Ive since turned stereo and antennae off so that it doesn't needlessly run the antenna motor; the motor would run at start/stop. The stereo works great, just not the best reception with the antennae in the body of the car. a/c compressor runs but is not cold, needs freon recharge or converted to 134a. I just did not drive the car on really hot days as the little compressor could not keep up with the Atlanta heat. rear wiper does not work (it did work after I replaced hatch shocks, but hasn't for some time now) minor tear in seam of drivers seat paint oxidation/fading on sunroof/roof (worst) and hood VEHICLE FEATURES: 1985 GSL-SE model with 81,800(+) miles! 13B, 135hp+, fuel-injected rotary engine (more hp with custom exhaust) Limited-slip differential 5-speed MANUAL transmission 4-wheel disc brakes A/C cruise control bronze factory tint aftermarket Racing Beat exhaust/muffler (no catalytic converter on the car - I still have it though) original factory rims are in great shape tires have plenty of tread original factory stereo with equalizer power windows full LeBra front cover (rare) extra stereo surround goes with the car body-matched rear view mirrors (compliments of first owner) original owners manual ABOUT THE OWNER: Garage-kept, smoke-free, pet-free, children-free vehicle, purchased in 2003, becoming the 3rd owner. 100% Southern car; purchased new in Georgia, spent time in Florida and returned to Georgia in 2003. Ive enjoyed the car for the past 11 years but ready for something new. Shipping Information: BUYER IS ABSOLUTELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS!!!

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014
Thu, 10 Apr 2014While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
