  • i bought a miata

    long story short, i only paid $1000 for this.
    guy bought it in sept.
    he never looked in trunk or glove box while he had it.
    brought it home, and while cleaning it out, i found a package
    in glove box with warrenty info wrote on it.
    opened it up to find that a motor(1.6dohc) with 83,000 miles was installed
    along with a ton of other new parts.
    reciept total was $2590.00!
    car had 156,000 when motor was installed.
    now it has 163,000.
    it runs and drives and handles awesome.
    no ribs or tears or stains on the inside.
    paint has some clear coat peal here and there.
    it also came with a hard top.
    could use some new tires(14x6 rims)
    A/C and HEAT work


    i know i look silly driving it, but its fun.
    (its what i will be drivng to fla in march.

    You got one helluva deal on that car WITH a hardtop! You could sell the hardtop alone for $800-1000. Wish I could find that kinda deal around here

      im always on the miata sites looking for parts for my bpt, at first i didnt like them, to feminent looking no offense. but with a decent body kit i would take one. and v8 swaps are getting pretty popular with them. it would be alot easier for me to build a fast miata then playing with a festiva..... but im in love with a festiva

        $1000?!?!? with a hardtop?!?! AND a HD rollbar?! WOW! That's a great looking NA for an insane deal!

        Don't listen to what anyone says about the Miata being a girl car, just take them for a ride on some seriously curvy roads and they'll understand. NAs are super fun to toss around and are seriously great looking cars!

        miata.net, clubroadster, miataturbo and roadsterdrift are all great resources.

        So, for about the same price as a fully-loaded 1993 Ford Festiva, you could also wield the power to obliterate a small village in the blink of an eye.

                Your right, you would would look silly driving that car.

                The color just don't fit you

                Tell you what , just to help you out of a bad spot.

                I will take the car off your hands when you come down to the Florida meet.


                A old fellow like me could care less if he looks silly


                Good deal you got there!!!!!!!!!

                    my bro said i need to put SMURF on the front window.
                    im looking around at getting it painted.(there is a place in bham will do it with a 2 year warranty for $349plus tax, only priming and paint, no body work)

                    as far as people saying its a girl car,(besides t.v., i have never seen a girl driving one.)

                    i have learned to accept peoples looks, and comments, heck, i drive festivas.lol

                      I don't think anyone in their right mind would poke fun at YOU in that car.....at least not where you could see them. And beat the crap out of them!
