Miata as first car? Suggestions?
All of them had single stage paint until you got the metallics in 1996 or so.

Tires will be $450 installed, and really you want lighter wheels than those heavy steelies (which, yes, were stock on the base trim) so factor that in. Maybe $700 for wheels with good tires on them already? Roof is $500 installed if you come to nova, or $250 plus two days' labor to DIY.

You'll need to change every fluid ASAP - oil, trans, diff, brakes. Check for rust where the door meets the rear rocker panel.

$800 is an okay starting point, but I'd almost rather spend $2k and just get one that's been driven regularly and deal with less "get it to run" crap.
Now:
'16 Ram 1500 | '97 BMW M3 | Some Press Loan

Then:
87 BMW 325e | 91 BMW 535i | 96 BMW 328i | 95 BMW 325i | 95 Mazda Miata | 13 Focus ST | 09 BMW 128i | 00 Pontiac Firebird | 05 Yukon Denali | 96 BMW 328iC | 11 Ford F-150 | 06 BMW M3 | 10 Range Rover SC | '03 Ford Ranger | '18 Ford F-150 | '01 BMW X5 | '98 Volvo S70 T5M
