WTB: Miata on the Cheap - Senor_Taylor - 06-29-2014
Hey everyone. My fin-aid notice came in and I'm all set for this next year.
I'm not desperate to buy it soon, but all I want is everyone to keep a look out for any killer deals on a Miata. I don't care what years, engine type, etc. As long as it's a 5 speed.
Hopefully under $1500 and not completely awful condition. Dents are okay, and I'd rather have a roof that isn't leaking.
If you spot any really good deals, send them my way. I'm looking at one right now, but if this falls through, I wouldn't mind having some options.
I probably won't be driving it until next year in the spring, but if a good deal comes, there's no need to pass up on it.

Not at that price point....... You are looking at >$2k and they are hard to come by......I've been looking for almost 6 months for the same car to commute with and they have all been full of rust and needing major work

I'm not expecting much, and I'm in no hurry. Just wanted to post in case someone comes across a ridiculous deal.

And how far are you willing to drive for said car?

If it's a great deal, I'll drive a ways.

Get an e30, say a 91 318is.
I might know a guy.
Re: WTB: Miata on the Cheap - Senor_Taylor - 06-29-2014
Does this "guy" have a problem with buying E30s?

No no no, you should hold on to that for someone else for a good little while

But honestly, it IS interesting.
What better thing to burn my money in than the mother of all money pits? A little old Mini-M3

It's perfect. They already have the radio and stuff out so Taylor can put the PS2 in this one.

Fairly sure that miata was for sale on here in the recent past.

If that's a new top then I'm a ballerina.

I swear it didn't say that when I looked, or maybe my reading comprehension is just that bad...

See, this is exactly why I posted this. I ran into some financial issues with getting a lawyer and what not, so I probably won't look at that one, but keep posting finds! That one is super close to me.
