    Default TW/FOR TRADE(!): 1991 Mazda MX6 GT Turbo, Blaze Red, 5sp, QUICK

    This is purely going to be a testing waters thread for a trade. I only have one vehicle, and this is it, so I'd like to trade for GOOD RUNNING mid-90's 5sp japanese car for a project/daily driver until I pick up a new Rabbit in a few months. I love this car, and I have always loved MX6's/626's but I really want to try something else for a few months. If no one offers something I like, then I'll just keep it, simple as that. THIS CAR IS NOT FOR SALE. I will only trade for another vehicle, just to make that clear.

    YEAR: 1991
    MAKE: Mazda
    MODEL: MX6 GT (Turbo)
    COLOR: Red
    MILES: 118,xxx (original miles)
    VIN: (upon request from serious buyer)

    GOODS:
    Recently installed a rebuilt a tranny that shifts super smooth and has excellent gear ratios. It has PGT 1st/2nd/5th and MX6 3rd/4th. I also installed an Exedy OEM clutch when I swapped the transmission.

    Car runs EXCELLENT. Has no leaks. Belts dont squeal and all the seals/gaskets are in great shape as well.

    The turbo has ZERO shaft play, and pulls VERY STRONG (currently set at 10psi).

    When I got the car the passenger side motor mount was pretty much shot. I found an article on poly-filling broken motor mounts, so I figured "why not" and gave it a try. Two days later, I had a poly-filled motor mount, and it has been holding strong for the last month or more. You cant tell its poly filled, it did not increase vibration from the engine, since the other 3 mounts are still stock (but not really worth poly filling at home).

    The only mods this car has is a MBC (10psi), cone filter, oil catch can and an open downpipe. It is really reliable and gets good gas mileage considering it is a turbo car.

    The interior is immaculate, came with Recaro seats from the factory and there are no tears in them, there is little to no staining anywhere on the interior.

    CAR HAS CLEAN TITLE. It has been a Georgia car its entire life, and I am the 4th owner of the car (I think). Some old folks owned it before my friend, whom I bought the car from (hence the low miles) and it has NEVER been abused.

    Car has newer Dunlop FM901 tires on it as well.

    BADS:
    Front shocks are BLOWN. It rides like a boat currently, but it is not unbearable by any means.

    The remnants of a parking lot fender bender remain on the car. Some jackass backed his truck across the driver side door/fender and drove off. The damage is not bad by any means, and is not very noticable. But if your anal about it, a new door and fender would be a super idea. The dent does not affect the operation of the door or car in any way, and is hardly noticable at a glance (as the pics will show).

    Car needs new shifter bushings. I have already ordered them, and they WILL BE INSTALLED by the end of the week.

    __________________________________________________ ________________

    I have a set of 15" BBS RX wheels still brand new in the boxes that fit this car. I could use them as a bargaining piece if anyone is interested.

    So yeah, let me know whatcha got, and let me know whatcha think of my baby.

    No need to remove the turbo to check the shaft play, just remove the I/C > turbo pipe along with the BPV and you can stick your hand, along with a flashlight and your face down there to check everything out.

    Wow, I found pics of it on clubprotege.com. It is cleaner that I thought it was. Any interior shots? Does the a/c work? How are the tires? I'm off to work now, but I'll probably call you tomorrow afternoon, same time.
