it's actually possible my car was painted. just last night at the meet i spoke about my two toned car. either wrecked, or painted. also, in one of my scratches, i do noticed a strange greenish color. i thought nothing of it, thinking it just had one hell of a bad paint job.
i'm calling the dealership right now to get them to run the VIN.

hahahaha. that was awesome.
so, i don't know if i should feel like a dumbass, or if they should.
"we were misinformed, sorry for the inconvenince."
i asked how they could have ran it days ago and know what the actual model was and yet still put "SE" on the papers. then i say "how can you confuse wood interior with the interior i have?" she didn't say anything. woot. back to LS i go.

I may have to get me a stubby now... damnit. Mine's an LS, and I wouldn't change a thing about it... well my PO did already install the chrome gas lid, vent rings, and gauge rings.
Funny thing is, I hated tan interiors until I drove my miata with it's leather hawtness.

You cant just 'patch' a Miata top and if you do, you will see leaks. A factory soft top in excellent condition is just as reliable as a hard top when it comes to rain - dont waste your $$$ on hard top unless you live in north with snow or want to track the car. And you will most likely never see any rust on a Miata - the metal quality from Japan from 1989-2005 is excellent.
New soft top replacements will run anywhere from $600-$1000 installed (Robbins tops, etc) by someone who knows what they are doing.
Make sure you run the VIN to see if any of the recalls were done:

Especially the #4 throw out bearing (if this is a 1999 Miata you are looking at): http://www.miata.net/garage/tsb/tip_6_99.html
Here is a run down of all years when you are looking to buy:

Good luck.

I sold my Laguna Blue 94 R and still have my 1996 Red R package.
car has:
-custom valved Single Adjustable Konis
-Jackson Racing Midpipe (custom rear section)
-K/N drop in filter
-NGK-R plugs (SSB 2 heat range colder model)
-Nology Wires
-Racing Beat hollow front bar
-225/50-14 Kumho Ecsta V710s (racing tires) on 10.4lb hollow spoke wheels
-16x7 Rota slipstreams in Full Royal Steel finish with FK-451 Falken 215/40-16s
and thats about it. Its a stock class autocrosser so thats why the minor mods are so specific.
Below is my old Laguna Blue 94 R (sold) and my current 96 R.
