Ahoy, mateys, and welcome aboard the swashbuckling saga of "Nice Price or Crack Pipe," the treasure hunt where the booty is as elusive as the fabled gold of Tortuga, and the quest is for none other than the legendary Mazda Miata in all its generations: the NA, the nimble first mate that started the voyage; the NB, sleek and swift as a sloop in the night; the NC, sturdy and reliable as a galleon; and the ND, agile and daring as a brigantine facing the high seas. This be the tale of salty dogs and seasoned sea captains navigating through the choppy waters of valuation, seeking out whether these prized vessels command a "Nice Price" or if they're but a siren's call leading to the "Crack Pipe" depths of folly.
Thrice we'll chant the names of these storied ships: the NA, NB, NC, and ND, as our pirate crew sizes them up, weighing their worth in gold doubloons and pieces of eight. Will they spy through their spyglasses a deal as fair as the wind at their backs, or will they find themselves marooned with a purchase as cursed as Davy Jones' locker?
Our buccaneers face challenges as daunting as navigating the Bermuda Triangle, testing their sea legs and knowledge of the Miata fleet - the NA, NB, NC, and ND - with tasks as varied as identifying the ship from its Jolly Roger alone or racing to hoist the sails (or in this case, drop the tops) faster than their shipmates. It's a test of wit, will, and wisdom on the high seas of commerce.
Again, we'll invoke the spirits of the NA, NB, NC, and ND, as our contestants duel with destiny, each hoping to claim their prize and not to be sold a vessel with a hull as full of holes as a treasure chest eaten by woodworm. Will they navigate their way to a "Nice Price" or be doomed to tell tales of the "Crack Pipe" price that sent them to the bottom of the fiscal sea?
So, grab your compass and set sail with us on "Nice Price or Crack Pipe," where the quest for the legendary Miata - in its NA, NB, NC, and ND glory - is a journey filled with peril, negotiation, and the eternal hope of finding that one ship that will carry you to the horizon of your dreams. Will our pirates emerge victorious, chests heavy with loot, or will they walk the plank of buyer's remorse? Tune in, ye scallywags, for a tale of adventure, of fortunes won and lost, and of the eternal search for the Miata that rules the waves.

Buy an ND2. Most are still under Mazda warranty. Best features /power/safety of any generation, and only slightly heavier than an NA.

[@Tiny_Speck]

Not all accidents on record are created equal. My 986 Boxster S had an "accident" back in 2006. The owner showed me that it was keyed by a crazy ex-girlfriend and repaired using insurance, thus the report. I honestly can't find where it was on the car.

[@JordyValentine]

Agreed, my car was in a minor accident with only cosmetic damage, but it was properly repaired, no normal person would be able to tell so I don't mind. If I hadn't been a detailer for nearly 10 years I'm sure I wouldn't notice it either.

Hey guys, love the banter. I got an nc kuro edition 2.0, 2 years ago, with 54.000 miles, for £10k i got lucky.

[@juliocvelez1]

I bought an 94 NA Miata with 110k miles. No issues. 1.8l and lsd. I got it for $1600. That was 2016. Now I see people asking triple for something clapped out.I won’t be buying another one

[@razumikhim]

I've told my friends this before I miss when companies made cars that didn't have an infinite amount of horsepower and we're just a total blast to drive. Figures mean nothing to me,the experience it gives me will always be much more important. Next month if all goes well I'm going to get myself a Miata NB just because no other newer car feels the same or better. And,I would never be able to maintain and afford a car with a 3l or more engine. The taxes are insane here.

[@itsjustpizza]

You guys are way off on that LS1 swap. All of the parts used beyond the engine swap were premium components. That car would smoke a 996 or a Vette. No way you could scrape all that together for $27k. If you could get them down closer to $20k that would be a steal. Proper drivetrain all the way back, Willwood brakes, factory Nardi, Flyin' Miata goodies, etc etc etc! Cmon! That's an extremely clean build with more power than most can handle.

[@CollectorCarFeed]

It’s clean but a complete waste of time and energy

[@dillonlambert9614]

I bought a 1992 sun burst yellow Miata with 50k original on it, as well as an original yellow hard top for 8,500

[@ihatecops.]

The only nice NA near me was listed for 9k. Other examples I looked at were 5-10k and nowhere near the condition of the one I previously mentioned. Finding a GOOD na Miata is extremely hard. You’re going to spend at least 8k for a good, sub 100k miles, no rust and well taken care of car.

[@MichelHayeur]

I bought mine last summer for 6500cad/4800usd, turbo NB, new paint 77500 miles, I'm so glad I bought it

[@patrickstover8766]

Hmmm didn't hear any mention of ND1 vs ND2, 30 hp deficit might make that price cracky.

[@notdaijoubu5062]

The various mods on the ND1 are pretty high end and not half assed. Ohlins suspension? Basically the best dual-use coilovers you can get for the ND, about 2-3k new. Plus it was the Brembo-BBS package. I'm more surprised it was under 20k. Engine is not as fun on the ND1, yes, but if you also compare say NA 1.6 vs 1.8 prices, NC1 vs NC2/3 prices, it tracks about right. ND1 may be a dealbreaker for you, but it's only worth a couple thousand less for the market as a whole.

[@Huhwhatwhere4324]

I can't afford to pay atte...SHAKE IT BABY!😅😂

[@thebarofsoapIG]

Got my 10AE in 2016 for $4500 with 72k miles. It was an okay deal. Sold it with TWO rear end accidents, a salvage title and 112k miles in 2021 for 3.5k. Bought a 91 NA (b package, LSD) with 108k miles for 5.3k (2022) and sold it for 5.8k with 116k miles in 2023. The market is up whether we like it or not.

[@mx5love460]

I have a 2003 miata shinsen edition, got it for $9,000 back in 2016 with 68k miles. It now has around 113 miles in almost perfect condition. If I would sell it would be around $12,000

[@janboblarry]

Yes. Went from an 01 NB to a 2017 Abarth. Couldnt be happier with it.

[@crazylife4543]

Idk i feel like most Na’s are completely beat to death & junk and still go for around or above 5k with 150+k miles . A low 30k mile NA does make sense being about double that, especially being single owner & all that. Hardtops alone are 2-3k depending on if it’s stolen or a legit seller 💀

[@andrewgomez4302]

[@jamescagle5208]

That first car is a clean, low mile, classic (its over 30 years old). Thats a good buy at $9500.

[@notdaijoubu5062]

I think that's kind of the point some of these guys missed with the NA and the Mazdaspeed when judging them as crackpipes. These are definitely collector's cars in their own right. NA being an actual classic with a lot of cheaper examples either run down, rusted away, clapped out or already wrapped around a tree. The Mazdaspeed has perks of being uncommon and unique. Would I buy either example to modify and drive the shit out of? Heck no, overpriced for that use. As a collectable to keep in good condition for years on? Yes. Pretty sure whatever rear quarter panel damage on the Mazdaspeed was not owner's fault at all, easy rear-end spot. I know since I'm dealing with that rn on my ND2 lmao.

Damage to left rear is probably from some dumbazz in a pickup truck running into the car. That has happened to my Miata twice, and it’s bright fcuking red!

[@mehguhtron]

Shout out team poochie, hardest come back this series! Youuu knowww! From Whittier California!!

[@FixtIt]

Why would you ls swap a Miata when every rx8 already needs an engine and cash be had for under 2k? Nevermind all the Porsche 944's waiting for a swap. Miata with a V8 is just dragging it's nuts around. It's a novelty item. Rather have a stock one

[@CollectorCarFeed]

There’s a ls1 shipping container called the “C5” that actually is a pretty good car as well

[@ligerzeror3539]

Miata video :D Congrats on 69k!

[@JordyValentine]

Those very specific modifications and the garage it's parked in lead me to believe it's not really his sister car haha

[@TimSlee1]

These are pretty low mileage examples tbf, similar examples here in Australia will go for 20-25k for an NA Miata. 100k+ mile examples will go for around 14-18k in good condition.

[@DYang01]

Oh my god how did I just find this channel... My first miata was actually 2500 with 200k miles 😂. Now i'm slightly upgraded to an msm. Any entry level enthusiast car here in cali cost a shit ton these days.

[@xXStetsonXx]

Shit, these prices aren't even that bad. In california miatas with 250k miles ripped top different color body panels and "won't pass smog you deal with it" are going for 8-10k.

[@courtneypuzzo2502]

depends on condition mileage and options for a classic Miata while this years model starts at 30,200 and goes up to 42,000 depending on trim package options etc. and sales were down almost 50% from January 2023 sales to January 2024 sales for ex according to Kelly Blue Book right now a 2019 with 75,000 miles on the odometer is worth 14,224 depending on if its your traditional soft top version or the RF retractable fastback

[@Bozar069]

I looked at some Miatas but I can't do rag tops and they're really slow. Same reasons I got rid of my Tracker.

Personally I think all these are over priced, I've seen 2 miatas this week on FB market place get sold for 4k and 3.5k with original hardtops and under 100k. You really just have to wait for the right deal and hope to snag it.

Miata guy here, 9500 for the first car isn’t crack pipe. You gotta understand that these retailed for 13k when they came out so to have one thats untouched and low miles sell for 9k in 2023 follows depreciation.

[@johndevine6648]

Also thats a bnc 1.6, which is better than a bpo5 (na 1.8). That 1.6 motor comes with a mls head gasket, water and oil feed built into the block, higher compression ratio, better gear ratio, and lighter drivetrain. Stop comparing the 1.6 motor to the nb 1.8. Motor. The na b6 1.6 is better than the na 1.8 bpo5, the na’s didnt have a bp4w which is what people are always comparing it to when they call the 1.6 a ‘baby motor.’

This is for the non hardcore ccf dudes. I get it, you gotta upload something. All nonsense aside, i worked with a guy that had a 1990 miata with the “1989 car of the year” stickers still on the wing windows.
