Used Mazda convertibles for sale near New Athens, IL

Great customer service, smooth and easy buying process, good help and detailed explanations. No pressure on the sale whatsoever. I gotta name drop here too, work with Corey Reno, the salesman’s is legitamitely honest, candid and very helpful/insightful. Would definitely buy from here again.

We have owned the car for a month and have put on 3,000 miles. Its a lot of fun to drive but the passenger side is really lacking in leg room and the center console controls are difficult to get to. Its a real head turner!

Very helpful when looking for a car will definitely be doing business with them in the future

im just going to put it flat out, these cars, when treated right will give you the time of your life, dont let anyone tell you different, ive driven a ton of other cars, and a bunch of other sports cars from back then, none compare to the agility and sense of power you have with the Rx-7 series. if your looking for something cheap, easy to maintain, and pleasurable this is the car for you.

Responded quickly with info, pictures and a video of the car. Very professional. I would recommend them.

This is the second RX7 I have owned. I owned a first generation (1983 coupe), which I loved. I bought my 1991 convertible because I wanted to get back to a true sports car. I have driven Porsche 911s and you get every bit as much handling and, almost, the same acceleration as the base 911, at a lot less cost. The money you pay for these second generation RX7s is truly a bargain. Earlier reviewers have been spot on as to maintenance and care and feeding of an RX7. You really need to pay attention to the oil. The RX7 engine uses a small amount of oil in the gas, to lubricate the rotor seals, and, by design, you use some oil every time you drive it; more so if you drive it hard. The rotary engine runs hot, so do what you can to keep it cool. I just removed the "coffee can" mufflers a juvenile prior owner put on this car, as the fiberglass interior burnt out quick and, more importantly, it sounded like some kind of sub-compact toy street car. This car is a blast to drive on curvy rural roads. The fuel economy is not terrific, but very much worth the price.

Beautiful classic’s automobiles And very selective on their business, I planning to buy one soon.

I THINK THIS CAR IS THE PERFECT CAR FOR SOMEONE THAT HAS TIME TO DRIVE IT ON NICE WEEKENDS AND WEATHER. VERY PRACTICAL, RUNS GREAT, REDONE FOR RELIABILITY, NOT A CAR REDONE FOR APPEARANCE ONLY, FOR USE.

Jad, The salesperson was absolutely fabulous! He really knew his stuff and shared everything with me without any pressure to purchase the vehicle. Probably the best salesman I've ever dealt with and I'm 72! Steve j. Sisson

This was purchased to drive to work during the summer, 1 year after purchase company sent us home to telecommute.

Here is a review of my start to finish process of buying a car from Gateway Classic Cars, Ft. Lauderdale: ----- 1. The sales people who you work with are not on site. They're working remote so they don't have eyes on the car. ---- So, 2. You'll want to be connected with someone on site who can start and drive the car, provide a walkaround video, pictures of whatever you want and give their input. I worked with Alex at the Ft. Lauderdale location for my purchase and he was outstanding with helping me to know the car before making an offer. He is the reason that this is a 5 star review. -------- 3. Hauling: They'll get you a quote for hauling the vehicle. I chose Nexus Transport myself to use. They were a bit cheaper and top rated by Forbes. That went just fine. --------- 4. These cars are all on consignment. So, I feel that you have to be a little more careful because you have another party who may not have disclosed things to Gateway. Best practice is to get a pre-buy done from someone like Lemon Squad. That being said, I was so comfortable with my deal, took the risk and waived the pre-buy. And in my case, the Prowler is a mint gem and I have no concerns after receiving it. Also, there is a common thought then you buy a car like this, you should budget 10% or so of the price for maintenance right after you get the car because stuff always comes up, otherwise, don't buy a used car. --------5. Since they're on consignment, they have commissions they charge the seller. As a buyer, I don't care if I see a commissions line on the purchase agreement. As long as my out the door number was what I offered, that's fine. --------6. I wired money to them and within a few hours, I had all the fully executed paperwork back in my hands. Title took about 3 weeks to receive by UPS. And the folder had everything I needed to register the car in my state. Wow! Thank you Barbara! ------ 7. So here is what breeds loyalty. Alex at the Ft. Lauderdale location made sure the car was completely ready to be picked up including accessories that were bubble wrapped. The car was supposed to be picked up at Noon on Saturday, plenty of time before they closed at 5pm. He stayed until the truck arrived...very late....AT 1:30am Sunday morning!!!! (Otherwise, it would have sat until Tuesday). I cannot believe he did that for me. I received my car loading video at 2am. That's unbelievable service that deserves more than 5 stars. ------- Summary: I'd have zero issues with buying from Gateway again....they just operate in a different dealership style than what I'm used to, which is just fine.

Believe the hype! With my background in vintage racing and trackdays, i have some valid opinions about the Miata. First, it's so much fun. It's definitive not a great daily driver. Especially not if you have a family. But as a weeknd fun car, it's hard to beat. Especially for the price. Which leads me to my second point. Value. You can buy a 1st or 2nd generation Miata with 150K gentle miles for a about 3k. Expect to spend close to 6k for a low mileage and unmolested specimen. I paid 4500 for my clean M Edition with 150k miles. Handling. The car handles well. It's not a modern car. So don't expect modern feel. But, that does not mean it doesn't handle well. On a tight twistie road, a well driven Miata is hard to beat. And hard to keep up with. Parts availability. Another great thing about this car is that parts are available from both Mazda and the aftermarket. Have no worries about keeping it running. Although, with this car being so reliable, i wouldn't worry much about the car failing on you. But of there are repairs to be made, it's certainly one of the most simply modern cars to work on. Especially if you are a mechanic.

Best car ever! I drove my 2002 Miata from California to Florida ALONE with my two little dogs. Not an issue at all. These cars are amazing on gas, and with proper care, will run forever. The most fun car ever!!! I'll never sell mine! :)

I had a 1990 Miata before. It was extremely reliable and fun to drive. This one does not disappoint. Thus far, it has been fun to drive and very economical.

I ended up buying a 1990 Mazda Miata with a 1.6 L engine and 5-speed transmission. The couple I bought it from was great and very understanding. I got a killer deal on it and absolutely love driving it everyday, and cars.com made it super easy to get ahold of the seller! Overall a great experience, I loved it! Would 100% recommend anyone get a Miata with or without a 1.8 L engine! The 1.6 is still very peppy!

Of course there are more spacious and comfortable and roomy cars that you can drive but in terms of pure enjoyment, nothing beats the miata.

One of the most fun and overall best cars ever made, in its class. Perhaps the best roadster ever. Classic and legendary. Everything the classic British and Italian roadsters were aiming for, but also including Japanese reliability, efficiency, and great ergonomics. Perhaps best standard transmission feel in history. Bottled youth, mounted on wheels.

Really fun, and very tight, fun at any speed .I like the silver color, make sure there is no water in trunk or top is leak proof, several I drove had evidence of water in trunk,and or top leaked. Don'the be scared of higher mileage, as long as maintenance can be verified.

It is a very reliable little car and it has decent power, it handles really well for its age and it is a very fun car overall, interior is well designed and the exterior is decent i ts a really fun car to cruise around in

I was recently given a 1994 MX5 for free due to the fact it did not have a title. My first thoughts were to just detail the car and sell it, But after driving it home, I was honestly impressed. I’ve now owned it for one week and in the works of getting the title and have no desire to sell the car. That little 1.8 5 speed manual won me over and this is coming from someone who has built many 70s muscle cars. The car is stock, and I plan on keeping it that way, except for some minor engine mods, changing the ragtop into a hardtop convertible and possibly a different rim & tire package.
