Considering a 1999 Miata

So, there is a 95 M edition on Craigslist for $700. The ad reads...
1995 M Edition Miata with rear axle damage for sale. Rest of car is fine. Has very nice BBS rims.$700 or best offer. Will need towing.

Has about 170k miles. I'm second or third owner. I bought it with only 40k miles. Most miles are from highway driving. 5 speed stick. Fender damage caused by neighbor accidentally backed into car.

How much would it cost for a new rear end? Car looks beat to hell though. Thought it may be a good candidate for the "Monster Miata" kit treatment. What do you think?

If you have room, I would buy it and part it out on miata.net
you could make your money back one the engine alone. Then sell the center console to me. (If its black)
 
for $800 that's not bad. You could get a used 1.6 for next to nothing (I got one for $250). Even if you sink a grand into it fixing it, if the rest of it's in good shape you're still ahead
 
the ad makes it sound like it just needs some regular maintenance, not a new motor... 160k miles isn't really that high mileage for a miata motor, either... bought the car my pops and I built into my specmiata with 198k miles on the clock

sounds like a great deal, I'd get it in a heartbeat if it was closer to me, as long as the body's straight
