Mazda Rx-7 Not Running on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
$1000 cash or possible trade for good running minivan/pickup/sub-compact station wagon.
Too much going on, so won't have a chance to repair it in the near future. I'd rather find it a good home, but if I don't get what I want for it, it will just have to sit a while longer until I can get to it. The good: Clean/clear title. Very straight and complete car. Never wrecked. No rust. West coast, desert car. All glass good w/light factory tint. Factory electric sunroof. Factory alarm system. Behind the seats dual locking storage compartments. Factory GTU body/suspension treatment w/full aerodynamics package intact. 5 lug wheels with 135mph rated rubber. 4 wheel disk brakes. Newer pale yellow paint. (wife didn't like original red color.) Nose bra to protect front end. Interior could use some TLC, but pretty good for age of car. (some minor cracked/missing plastic parts and small rip in driver's seat.) Dash has a custom fit cover that was on when I bought the car, so I don't know the condition of the dash. 4 spd overdrive automatic transmission has lock out button that holds it in gear letting the driver control shifts. The bad: Told engine ate its seals. Spins, but won't start. May be as simple as no spark, fuel mixture, etc, but selling as blown engine, as that is the worst case scenario and I don't want anyone buying it thinking it will be a cheap and simple fix. If it turns out to be something simple, great for you, You've gotten it for less than 1/4 its running value. Repair/rebuild/replace the power train and have a great handling 2 seat exotic car for a small price. When running, this is a 30+mpg car at highway speeds that can out handle about anything made, but with good manners when being driven around town. It passed smog testing with no problems when it was last running, so all smog equipment is present. The battery is shot from sitting for almost a year. No warranty implied. As is where is. I have tried to describe its condition as completely as possible. Cash price is firm! Trade is negotiable depending on vehicle offered. (An even trade is possible, but I am not interested if you expect to get my car plus cash.) I will not ship, but will assist in loading if you supply transport. Must be paid in full before car, or title will be released. Cash at time of pick up, and/or signed title and other vehicle if a trade. Contact Dave at 702-290-2501 with any questions. Car is available for inspection. Located on Carey Ave. by Lamb Blvd. Northeast Las Vegas. I can take and email pictures of specific areas if needed. (Except the undersides as it sits too low for me to get under.) |

Mazda CX-5 getting mild refresh
Thu, 14 Aug 2014Mazda has found both critical and commercial success with its CX-5 small crossover, and seems to be endeavoring to keep the momentum up with an upcoming refresh. As you can extrapolate from the obvious lack of the usual camouflage, the company isn't reinventing anything in the very near future of the CX-5, but it does seem as thought some tweaks are in the works.
Lighting elements fore and aft appear to have gone under the knife, with the front grille and rear fascia also seemingly to be slightly revised. The side mirrors now look slicker and slightly more upscale with their integrated turn signals, as well.
In all, expect a look that's a touch fresher, without being a radical departure from the existing visage.
Mazda CX-3 almost ready for LA Show
Mon, 17 Nov 2014The Mazda CX-3 is just days away from its unveiling at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, but elsewhere in the world, the Japanese brand still has the compact crossover disguised for testing. These spy shots aren't too camouflaged though, and when combined with the previous teaser image, they give a pretty clear idea what the new model will look like.
The grille here is well covered, but the photo from the front reveals the similarities to the design sketch. The rear shows a similar horizontally oriented design as the Mazda2, which the CUV is based on. However, the dipping sides around the B-pillar from the teaser don't appear to be on this tester. Even with all the swirls, the vehicle looks fairly attractive.
Mazda is doing a fantastic job of keeping mechanical details about the CX-3 a secret. It's not yet known whether the model is front-wheel-drive only or if all-wheel drive is also an option. The crossover also likely shares the Mazda2's engine, which isn't revealed for North America, yet. The diminutive CUV will compete with a huge crop of new classmates, including the Fiat 500X, Jeep Renegade, Chevrolet Trax and Honda HR-V. Check out the gallery for the latest glimpses of this Japanese CUV just days ahead of its full debut.
Mazda2 with extended-range hybrid rotary tech shown
Mon, 23 Dec 2013Every story dealing with a new rotary engine from Mazda lands in a different place on the matrix of possibilities between "Coming soon!" and "Never gonna happen!" In 2011 it was speculated that the rotary engineering program would be shut down with the demise of the RX-8, in 2012 the program was still alive and taking lessons from the SkyActiv engines, in August 2013 a Mazda insider said a rotary engine called 16X would be here in two years, in November the CEO said the only way we'd ever get a new rotary is if Mazda could sell 100,000 of them per year. Meaning that, for the moment, you can forget about it.
And yet, last month Mazda was putting journalists in a Mazda2 RE Range Extender, an electric car using a 0.33-liter rotary to power its lithium-ion batteries when the charge runs down. With a 75-kilowatt, 100-horsepower electric motor turning the front wheels, the Wankel generator and its 2.6-gallon gas tank living under the trunk double the range of the electric-only Mazda2 to 250 miles.
There's been talk of using a rotary to assist an alt-fuel vehicle for at least seven years, with Mazda pairing an electric motor with a rotary that ran on gas and hydrogen in a Mazda5 in 2007. Since then, almost all of those stories debating its return or demise also spoke of the oddball motor's advantages, such as compact size and ability to run on various fuels, as an aid in an unconventional powertrain.
