Mazda MX-5 25th Anniversary: They Sold Like Hotcakes

We told you those Mazda MX-5 25th Anniversary models would sell quickly! If you managed to score one, congratulations, you were faster than 150 other enthusiasts!

The complete run of 100 cars is now completely sold. Yesterday at 13:25 ET, the order book for the little roadster was opened. Only 10 minutes later, the last MX-5 was reserved, leaving about 150 people high and dry.

Those who actually managed to get one should receive their car later this summer.

As mentioned at the New York Auto Show, all the 25th Anniversary MX-5 editions will be painted metallic red, and will feature a hand-painted dashboard, satin gauges, aluminium pedals and black mirror covers. The car will also offer more performance, with Bilstein shocks, forged pistons and a lighter flywheel.

With a $33,000 price tag, there is no surprise as to why this car sold so quickly. But even if it will almost surely gain value over the years, please don’t tuck yours away in a cold, dark garage. Tthese cars are made to be driven!
