Uncommon GSL-SE, which has the larger, fuel injected 13B engine. Car is extremely solid, has virtually flawless red paint (recent, with no blemishes like runs or texture). Is "original" except for aftermarket header. No rust history, and was painted about a year and a half ago due to a minor accident. The accident was cosmetic to the passenger side fender and door, and not bad enough to harm the inner fender (that's why there are two photos of both front fenders with the hood up). The fender and door were both replaced. It doesn't take much to "total" a 25 year old car on paper in NC, that is the reason for the salvage title. The car drives/tracks perfectly straight. I have recently serviced basically everything that can be serviced..... plugs, wires, filters, changed all the lubricants in the trans, rear end, coolant, cleaned the throttle body, replaced some vacuum lines, steering idler arm, etc. I couldn't find anything else that could need attention. The chassis has 219,000 miles, and it has had a complete drivetrain swap from a donor vehicle. Therefor, the drivetrain only has ~120,000 miles. It runs excellent, idles great, etc... and I wouldn't hesitate to drive the car anywhere. Has the original stereo, and has a new automatic antenna. The door weather striping was replaced when the car was painted. It's overall very tight, and drives extremely well. The front tires are almost new. The rear tires are about 1//2. The front brakes are almost new, and the rear brakes are OK. Faults: The A/C does not work. I have not troubleshooted, all of the components are still there. The rear wiper and the word "Mazda" were removed when it was painted, and have not been replaced... and I do not have them. The cruise does not work. I have not felt the need or had the desire to repair the A/C or cruise. The sunroof has some very minor dimples from hail, but can only be seen in certain light. I assume the metal is a little thinner on the sunroof since it has none anywhere else on the car.... really isn't an issue, at least to me, and I'm fairly "particular". History: The car's first owner put a lot of miles on it in a short time (few years). It then had two owners for ~20 years that were in the same family. I bought it a couple of months ago, with intentions of keeping it forever/upgrading performance, etc.... but as you can see by the pictures, I really don't have room for it... and would rather spend my "vehicle money" on my off-road truck. They buyer is responsible for transporting the car. I have a trailer, and would consider delivering the car to the prospective buyer, for a very reasonable fee..... although I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. Added 4-15-10 (I've had a couple of questions about the title. It's a North Carolina "Salvage Rebuilt" title, which means that it was once had damage over a certain percentage of it's value. It's currently tagged and insured, and as far as I know, is transferable.)
