calling all miatas -->

hmm...truthfully I don't really know. the one I see on ebay I like, but i'd look at other ones too just haven't seen all of the generations. the thing is not many around for sale within a 100-150 mile radius...that are 3800 or less..

 

[jersey_emt]

do you prefer the first generation look?

I think he prefers the first generation price (sun)

make sure you know which look you like best. that'd suck if you got a na and ended up liking a nb, or nc better.

maybe go to your dealership? i don't know how things are there but after a month or so of purchasing my miata i was looking into buying a earlier nb model. they had a few on the lot but nothing that really caught my eye. they helped me out a lot by calling other dealerships in the state asking if they had a earlier nb model with the options i wanted. they actually found quite a few but one stuck out. they offered to have them bring it down, but by that time i realized that i was just going to have to stick with the one i got.

that's what i was guessing.

i think that'd be pretty crappy if he bought it just because it was a easy steal and liked nothing about the car. yuno what i mean?

Is there a site I can view the different year miatas? or should i have go to a dealership?

For the pics to my setup they are on my site - www.modifiedmiata.net

The dent doesnt look too major, but the picture is kinda hard to tell. A dent puller would work on the fender, but not on the bumper cover.

That Miata will go for more than it is at right now for sure. Those look like either the rare Mazdaspeed under spoilers or the Millen set. Ive actually never seen them on a Miata, other than the advertisement pictures.

I would look for something in the range of 50k-100k for miles and pay no more than 4k. Slap a greddy kit on it as soon as you get it and enjoy.

I have the 90' with the shortnose crank problem, but when I did my timing belt / waterpump job I also did the crank fix. Boosted and no problems for a little under a year. Alot of people on the Miata forum b**** about little things...dont let any of it stray you. Just use common sense, talk the price down, and walk away with a fun ass car.

another question.

what are your plans for the car?

 

[Notorious_V.I.C]

well, when i'm done with paying the car off if i have to. I plan to rebuild the engine, trubo or supercharge and a lot of suspension work. But i'm gonna go one step at a time first. .

***edit** I like the second gen better then the 1st gen. ** I know third gen will cost more, i'll just have to keep lookin out for a good deal and miata.***
I have to talk to my dad cause he is paying off the MSP right now and wold like to see if anything can be done. I personally will pay for the miata unlike the msp.

yep, did. thnxs for the info and link...I really hope I can get a miata...funny would it be downgarding from a MSP to a Miata?

rwd...is fun...hehe(thumb)

 

[Vampyre]

you would be the third that i know of
rickman and i both traded msp's for miata's

Definitely not. The only thing you lose is the back seat and a decent size trunk. Everything else is an upgrade.

Although I didn't truly 'trade in' my MSP for a Miata.....my MSP was wrecked in a bad rollover collision. And crazy me, I go and buy a Miata after rolling a car 5+ times down the highway (deadhorse

 

[Vampyre]

musta knocked some sense into ya......hehehehee

You try getting 'PIT'ed at highway speed by a moron that wants to be in the same lane that you are in. I was sideways before I even realized that someone hit me. (boom07)
