I paid $6,200 for 99 10th anniversary in mid 2022 do I think I overpaid absolutely. Do I think I'm going to get my money back Absolutely not. Was it worth it though? Absolutely 💯

[@stanceswitch6419]

How many miles did it have?

[@jam2459]

bought my 10AE may 2022, paid $6,000, 35k miles, no rust, in new york. i thought it was a deal

[@Rizzy4magic]

@@stanceswitch6419almost 200k but with a full service history from the original owner.

[@Rizzy4magic]

@@jam2459 yeah mine had almost 200k with a full service, from the original owner . For 200k the car was in fantastic shape. At the time it was the only good one in the market even with the mileage

[@fvkaciv]

@@Rizzy4magic i bought my 2002 clean with 200k for 3k lmao 6k seems like a lot for 200k but thats just me. i have a video on it if your interested

[@Alex-vr9yp]

paid just under 8k this year for a practically new nb2 with 40k miles only minor issue was a small scrape on one mudguard otherwise entirely mechanically sound not a spot of rust, garage kept all of its life, refreshed fluids, getting tires soon and have been enjoying it

[@LetoPartizan]

Im really starting to feel the pressure of not being able to find a decent one under 10k anywhere near me. Seeing one for sale in Missouri is damn near a rarity, and when I do find one it sells just as quick as it was posted online. Without having to go to another state and picking one up, which I dont want to do. It sucks. Really does. :/

[@ADUSN]

Catch more fish with a bigger net. Out of state sales suck but if it's how you get your car, you gotta go for it

[@Justsomeonesomwhere]

Have cash ready. Offer to buy it immediately when they post it. Drive a few hours away. That's what I had to do lol

[@Brickington23]

Paid 9K for a 99 NB with 52K miles 3 months back and it’s genuinely in factory/mint condition! 9K is on the high end but a local shop that only deals with Miatas said it’s one of the cleanest NBs they’ve ever seen in recent times, definitely a gem.

[@Kingdrew2007]

Just paid 7200 for a nb 2 fender benders accidents and 82k miles!

[@thengyang5537]

I paid $4000 for 1990 with 135, 000..No rust very clean with roll bar..9/2024. WISCONSIN

[@彼岸的蓝]

Just bought my Miata NA today with $9500. Perfect condition. The previous owner had damn good TLC for this car. Routinely changed the oil for every 3500 miles. And the milage is still below 100k!

[@CashedOutCars]

Awesome, enjoy it!

[@nubixcube]

Today in Australia NA MX-5s (Miatas) can go for $30,000 AUD for an immaculate example with around 100,000 Miles on the clock. Ones in good condition with around 150,000 miles to 200,000 miles can also sell for $15,000 - $20,000 AUD. One in bad condition you're looking at $6,000 - $10,000 AUD. When I bought mine 3 years ago. I was Looking at paying $10,000 for a good condition one, Luckly, I found my 1992 NA for $3,500 with only 100,000 miles on the clock. It did need the soft top replaced, heater hoses replaced and a new shock but after a couple weekends it was on the road. Now just a Hardtop can go for $4,000. However, there are still good deals around. Unfortunately, you just gotta to be patient and hang in there. NBs can also be had for a steal if you are willing to sacrifice have the pop ups.

[@noahchiasson7809]

I got unbelievably lucky with mine (1992 NA red 5 speed) Got it for a whopping $1 from my neighbor almost exactly two years ago. It had been sitting for a few years. I’m working on getting it back to a clean car now (new top, front fenders, paint touch up)

[@ianlide1507]

I paid $4500 for 94 M Edition that came with a hardtop last April. It needed some work done to it like a brake cylinder and valve cover gasket, but I still feel like I got a really good deal every time I look at prices on these.

[@gxbeeee]

what issues did you notice that made you change the brake cylinder? my pedal goes to the floor and I have bled all 4 calipers with no luck.

[@ianlide1507]

@@gxbeeee My front calipers didn't actuate at all when I pressed the pedal. That made it pretty obvious what my issue was. It sounds like what you're describing is probably the brake master cylinder going bad to me, but I'm also just a hobbyist and not a real mechanic

[@gxbeeee]

@@ianlide1507 same you can freely spin the front rotors when the pedal is pushed down. I'll start with changing that, thanks!

[@redbluesome2829]

My car -SU Red ‘99 NB. 5-speed, Bose and leather with 113k miles when I bought it a couple years ago. The seller wanted over $7,000, but I negotiated for $5,700. I’m satisfied with that. I plan to put as much as $15k into it, so I really think of it as my keeper and not so much what it might be worth to someone else. Knowing Miatas aren’t getting any cheaper makes me value mine that much more.

[@beans.477]

Paid $6k cad in may 2021 for my completely stock 91 in ok condition with early-mid stage rocker rust Paid $1500cad in December 2022 for my hardtop in brg with defrost, stock headliner, and latches. Had it repainted black since it was all paint chipped and faded.

[@speedcanada1]

Bought my ‘99 Leather Pkg and ABS with 130k miles in 2018. It included full maintenance records from about 2002 onwards; almost all of the miles were put on when one owner commuted almost 20k miles every summer, doing an oil change every month! The backroad mileage peppered the nose with rock chips, but mechanically the car was like new… and most importantly, it was rust free. When I replaced the shocks with Koni yellows last year, I removed the ORIGINAL shocks which still worked fine and had no leaks. The timing belt has been replaced twice, but the clutch is still original. I added factory AC a couple of years ago, so I think the car has every option available in ‘99 except hardtop. I’ve owned about 40 cars in my life, and the only one I regretting selling was my ‘92 I bought after finishing grad school; now that I’ve got my ‘99 I’ll never let it go. Driving this car puts more smiles on my face than my 997.2S. Miata is ALWAYS the answer!! 😊

[@ZeeCayPeeA]

My daughter and I picked up our 61000 mile all original paint 1990 Mariner blue NA no rust at all on the body from an older gentleman in Long Island at the end of 2021. The guy never washed it with a hose and never seen a drop of rain . He also had it 20 years and only put 3000 miles on it. The car still had the original top on it ,that we replaced. We paid just under $ 8000.

[@xxcloudxx6606]

Dropped 20.5k on my 16 ND with 35k miles. Plus it had the Carplay / backup camera addition. This car is AMAZING

[@jackburns8827]

Found one for 1000 bucks put some rear wheel bearings on it and some tires. fun for zipping around and a work car keeping miles off my newer cars. Easy to work on . Run it till it blows!

[@evanjohansen3478]

I posted my 97 r package with 68k miles , no rust, garage and covored it’s whole life, not taken out in rain, etc. I posted it for $11,000 I just replaced clutch, spent $2500 on tires alone, and it has a new paint job, new top, interior is 10/10, and I get people who are like $3500 take it or leave it. I literally priced it off of kbb and added a extra 1k because of the work I’ve done.

[@Xterra06]

I somehow managed to get a 67k mile mint mariner blue 92 with original hardtop for 6.8k. I feel like I did ok. Wasn’t as cheap as it used to be, but I think I did ok! Car is beautiful and was owned by some older ladies

[@natesilvamusic]

Just joined the Miata club: Purchased a 1991 bone stock Miata in Crystal White (no hard top) w/ 100,000km for $7500 CAD. Private sale from an older lady (only owner). No rust, was babied by previous owner, never winter driven/always in garage. So far, very happy! But, new to doing my own car maintenance so this will also be a learning experience. Cheers!

[@CashedOutCars]

Good find! Enjoy it!

[@jamesbrooks7683]

Bought a very clean 99 NB a few months back for $5,500 with 139xxx miles. Overpaid but I don't regret it one bit!

[@JayMac3180]

In December of 2022, I traded my 2019 Yamaha Kodiak 450 straight up for a one owner, all original, excellent condition 02 NB, 5-speed with 72k original miles and clean title & carfax. Two sets of keys and owned by an 82 year old gentleman. Only thing that needed to be replaced was the soft top which I just did recently. Also came with OEM matching hard top. I think I did ok!

I paid 1,200 USD for a 70k miles Miata NB dont know how dont know why but i got it cheap af. now it does have the automatic transmission but the manual one came with the car and lost of other parts :D

[@chris_5117]

picked up a 91' miata for $975 in cali. Run and drive with 160k miles and no rust :D

[@jeffgothard4169]

Good and informative video. Good audio and lighting too. It looks like you love your Miatas and that is what counts. I love pulling up next to other convertibles on the road (I live in Southern CA) these porsches and ferraris and corvettes are fine, but my 1990 is affordable and insurable. I love driving down PCH in Laguna Beach with the wind in my hair laughing… no payments, and great fuel economy. It is a pure sports car.

[@treverw1]

I just bought a 1999 w/ 180,000 miles, no mods, clear carfax, I’m the 8th owner! Paid $3,800. Light bubbles rust. I’m happy with it

[@Oofsmageroo]

I paid 5k Cad for a 1990 hard top with a full 00 special edition swap and supercharged. but the engine had failed. Unfortunately two days after I bought it... it got hailed on before i could insure it! beautiful car which had subframes removed coated and underbody fully restored and painted as well. its a good starting point. Im putting off my K series swap since it got hailed on and rebuilding a new ( $250 FORD) BP 1.8 - speedyefi and modernize the twin screw supercharger setup that was installed in 2008 with coil on plug, better cooling and heat insulation etc.

[@CopyrightedCup]

I paid $200 for my Miata in 2022. Only catch was it had a blown engine and transmission. It also had some minor crash damage, and a missing title. It's 2024 now and the car is back on the road and it just made a 200 miles trip with no major issues. I love driving my Miata, and it is extra special because I built it with my friends.

[@kingkatguitara265]

Paid 4900 for a base model 91 NA. Definitely overpaid, but I’ve taken care of it since I got it, and I feel the purchase was justified a month since I got it. I gotta say however, mine was a steal compared to the others currently listed. Clean title, pristine interior, no mods besides cat back exhaust and coil overs, no excessive damage, no setbacks besides the fact it never came with AC and power steering from the factory. By far the best car to just jump in and drive as soon as I purchased it, and it only gets better as I progressively make it my own and take care of maintenance items. I’d rather cough up extra dough then expend any time searching for crazy deals. More time driving, less time thinking. What do y’all think?

[@kingkatguitara265]

I’m from California, so no rust basically.

[@Alien36]

I saw the huge price jumps and managed to get a sweet track focused 96 NA miata for 6500 with a hard top, fixed it up a bit and sold it for 7500. I really missed it even tho I made a nice paycheck enjoying it. After that I bought a cheap ef hatch that had way too many problems. I think I had 2500 into after doing a bit of work and put 1000 on top and traded it for an even nicer 91 that needed a good bit of work. Probably put like 2-3k into it to make it a nice car I can keep, still gotta sort out some suspension work but I am very ready to enjoy it this summer.

[@martonkreho9061]

I got my '99 NB half a year ago for the equivalent of $6000 in Hungary, it's super clean, modded for an OEM+ look and has the sperr diff. I knew it was a great deal when i got it but apparently it would've been fair in the US too

[@DueGreg]

I bought a '03 1.8 Sportive for 10k just 2 weeks ago in Hungary. This was the most expensive one, 60k miles no rust

[@jansvoboda4293]

Bought 2003 1.8 Silver Blues end of previous summer form Germany 52K km for 5900 EUR (took some more to get it imported to Czech Republic). No mods, except grey textile instead of grey leather on seats. I was looking for quite some time to get it that nice for that kind of money.

[@Doublejeebus]

I bought a '99 NB LS with 67k miles on it for $6k. This was in May of 2022. FWIW, it came with 8" wide Vors wheels, an aftermarket exhaust, and an aftermarket sound system (blown door speakers though). Definitely work to be done on this car, and looking at the comments, I think I overpaid a little bit, but I am still glad I made the decision when I did.

[@CashedOutCars]

I think that’s a solid deal!

[@Gwenpaisey]

UK market here I am a 3rd owner of a 2004 1.8L NB2.5 for £2,900 or $3,547.40 85K miles, Full dealership service history with original receipt of purchase and owners manuals. All the seals are in great condition. Cloth soft top (which needs to be re waterproofed) interior is lower spec trim with the cloth seats and plastic dash which is immaculate. only downside is the beginning of fender rust with surface level rust which I'm aiming to have treated within the next month. from MOT history and service history I think the car has been in storage for the better part of 10 years before I purchased it

[@GS-xp5jq]

11:52 The 1,600 mile Miata on BaT actually did not sell for $25,000. If you read the text next to the price it says "Bid to". That means the seller set the reserve (minimum) price higher than $25,000. Crazy to see what Miatas are going for nowadays.

[@johna4250]

I purchased a 2002 LS, 6 spd , lsd with 72000 miles in pristine condition from dealer in West coast Florida for $9995 out the door in July 2020. Red with tan interior.

[@CashedOutCars]

Have fun with it!

[@Robert-lh4um]

Got mine with 115K on the odo for 5,500. The guy was asking 6500, but I brought my dad and he started talking to the dude grandmother who held the title and whose husband how recently died from dementia and was the original owner. She offered 5500 and I took it. It had some rust on the driver rocker, a fairly new top. I put around 2K+ just to get it semi-reliable for longer trips. The body has dents but the finish still shines and needs a good polish to workout some oxidation. It still needs struts, and exhaust kit. The rest is either performance related or upgrades I plan to make overtime. I know I won’t get what I put into it back, but at least I can get it to where I can enjoy it on nice days. I’m not tracking it, but I still am toying with the idea of turbo kit after all the necessary upgrades are done, but by that time I will probably will be onto something new…like a Porsche or Triumph idk. A car is car I don’t believe in being obsessive about them because they can be totaled any day at any moment.

[@davidmiller9267]

Bought a ‘95 with 183k miles, Torsten LSD, and a hardtop for $5k. Absolutely zero rust and a good runner. I live in OKC, but the car was in a remote rural area.

[@Cadence1986]

June 2022: 1999 Sport Package with 38k miles for 10k, yeah that’s a lot for a Miata but an extremely good deal compared to the other listings around me.

[@gxbeeee]

Paid $7k for a mint nb two years ago, kinda high but I knew the owner and it had a few tasteful mods that I liked and only had 70k miles. A few months ago paid $350 for an na in rough shape but only needed a fuel pump and now it runs. only wanted it for the hardtop to put on my nb but instead got a running car aswell haha.

[@Thatdavemarsh]

2000 Oct Toronto 90NA $7500cdn for 250km, coil overs, 7x15 rims, full set of OG daises, good condition interior, rough soft top. Might have been able to save 1k, but it’s a metro market and the wheels and coils are worth 2500 on this side of the border.

[@DeadWolfCustoms]

I paid 3500 for my 1999 silver with 127000 miles it’s clean no rust at all even on the underside interior is clean clean and brand new top

[@alexburgoa4759]

I paid 6,000 in 2021. It has the hardtop, daisy wheels by enkei, all the paperwork from po, the stereo with the cassette player and full ac.

[@calebburt9632]

I paid $400 for my 92 two years ago and have been piecing it back together ever since. It’s my daily and I’m hoping to take it to college

[@treeskier802]

Based on the cars you looked at it appears you’re in the northeast. I’m in VT and it’s tricky to find a Miata at a fair price. I have to travel to a nearby state so trying to decipher photos, how trustworthy the seller is, etc is tricky. This video was helpful. I’ve never driven a Miata but I’m taking the advice of any car enthusiast shopping for one. I’m just not sure if I should go for a NA with 150k miles for lower money or invest in a NC and get a more up to date car but for probably more money. I wonder if you might do another video like this updated for this year. I wish I could pick your brain on the cars available in the area. I’m the type that has a hard time parting with money so probably finding something under $7k is my sweet spot. Thanks again and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@CashedOutCars]

Thanks for your comment! I do feel Miata prices have leveled out and even started to drop down. I can add it to my list of videos to make. Thanks for your comment!

[@treeskier802]

I’ve since driven a few NC and NB. Love em both. Haven’t tried the NA or ND yet but I may go test drive the ND for fun soon. I think the sweet spot for me would be an NC1 which seem to be relatively inexpensive. I actually prefer the front grill in those to the smiley face. But all Miata’s look great. The NB is addictive to drive. Really I could go either way with an NB or NC.

[@squidikka]

Looks like I lucked out big time. I got my '97 M Edition right before covid for $2250. 137k miles. Almost didn't buy it because I was a normie who wasn't into cars and never drove a manual in my life. Wimpy looking thing with strong hairdresser vibes. Friend persuaded me to get in anyway and I instantly fell in love. When I have the cash I plan to kswap it and keep it forever. It's my daily.

[@eozfilmz]

I paid $2,300 for a 1995 in January 2023. Engine needed some work as it was knocking but we rebuilt the engine and got it going💪

[@CashedOutCars]

Awesome, enjoy!

[@VikasShankarathota]

Paid 3k for my NA. However, I upgraded to an NC1 last year because they present a better value and are a more live-able car with everyday

[@thatguy6111]

$9,999.00 for a 63K mile all original, straight body, rust free Canadian import. No AC, ABS, Power Steering or Cruise Control. It’s a go cart with plates and I love it.

[@jeffgothard4169]

A friend sold me my red 1990 Miata for $1700, and I have kept it for 16 years. I love this car and would rather keep it than sell it. I have put one top on in all those years!

110% over paid $6k last year April with 151k miles, had a head refresh done 2yrs (5k miles) prior. But had an old molded body kit that covered rotted out quarter panels 😢 big sad and one of the previous owners got rid of the pop ups, I have since reinstalled them but theres so much rust it kills me to look at it all.

[@LAMBO3601]

I just paid 2000 Dollars for one 93 Miata with original and clean interior and just a little dent on the top. It has around 250,000 Miles and pretty much looks good. Only thing wrong with it is that thermostat is gone and it overheated. It has an Exhaust Leak which makes is sound louder than normal. Also takes some time to get power to get to 1 to Second gear. And I have to change the breaks. Other than that the car turns on and Drives fine. So I really don’t know if I overpaid but exterior is clean, no rust, interior is clean and complete. AC works.

[@kriscarr389]

I live in British Columbia, Canada. About 3 years ago a thoughtless driver backed into my 93 Miata. Damage was about $3500. Due to thw fact that i inherited the car, the insurance company had to decide a value for it to proceed with thw claim because they believed $3500 damage might exceed the value of the car. I informed them that despite the fact that the car has over 300,000 kms on it, it was in decent shape and is a 1 of 300 limited edition. They did their research and came back to say that due to the high kilometers they declare the value of the car at $11,500.

[@johnhenry9426]

I pail 8.5k in 2018 for my 2008 soft top. It's truly an amazing whip

[@saykey860]

i paid 7.5k for a na 92 with a freaking ebay turbo, stage 2 clutch, 700cc injectors, tuned on 93, a bunch of goodies with 100k miles. I feel like it was a steal!

[@CashedOutCars]

Enjoy it! That sounds a lot like my car

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

I bought my Miata 6 years ago for 2700 then about 4 years ago I sold my Miata for 3000 then about two years ago I bought my Miata back for 200 bucks because the engine was messed up but after a years straight working on it now it’s better than previously. Just have to finish my turbo build and I’ll be good to go.

[@PrplexedMG]

I paid 3,600 for my 1991. Radiator fans wouldn’t turn on (I fixed by added a switch to it) the blinkers didn’t work (two wires connected to the module was torn and rewired it) has short shifter, wide body, welded diff, new battery, spare, and drives perfectly. Was a protect car but issues are mainly fixed

[@juliansaiz5714]

I haven’t watched this yet but leaving a comment on my thoughts of the market and what I paid for mine, I paid $3700 for a 91 rust free and driveable, I went through and replaced the breaks rotors and lines upgraded to the 1.8 trans and a 1.8 lsd with a lightweight flywheel and clutch with wheels and such I’m probably around $6500 but I still need to replace the top and fix some paint but that’s not till summer, I would say don’t spend more than $4500 on something that doesn’t need that much work $3500 for something with a good motor, but I’d always be willing to spend more for the 1.8 Miata because I’m going back through and upgrading anyways

[@SlavicBoi]

3.8k for a 1990 automatic no hard top, drove alright off the bat, had bad gas that was sitting in the tank for a year or so since the seller never used it, drove it home with that gas (somehow). Since I bought the car (in order that I can remember) I've, fully emptied the fuel tank, ran injector cleaner, had an oil change, replaced the fuel filter, hit a tree, replaced the soft top skeleton and top, replaced the front control arms sway bar link and tie rod ends, replaced the right fender, replaced shocks and springs in both front and rear, bought original daisy rims and center caps, replaced all external lights, replaced all spark plugs, replaced the battery and terminals, and got new tires. Looking at my bank account I have, since buying the car, have put at most (at posting) 5k into the vehicle bringing it up to almost 9k that the car over all is "worth" to me

[@jazzforest1]

I spent 5 months waiting for a project worth NA that drives, paid 4,000 for a 92, repainted so the paint was perfect, rebuilt engine but has 240,000k on the clock rebuilt at 180k. Receipts dating back to 90's. interior is mint, needs new soft top. has rollbar and suspension upgrade and upgraded radiator. did I overpay, probably, but for what I seen in the 5 months, its actually a decent price.

[@chrisunruh4858]

Paid 7500 for 99nb 90k miles. Super clean condition besides a slash in the rear plastic window(soft top)from a break in. I love that little car and track it (:

near. i paid kast month 7800€ for a 99 nb 1.8 GLX. 1 owner 70.000km.

[@oliyt3316]

paid $4700 for a bone stock 93 that sat in a garage for 10+ years. absolutely worth it

[@joekev27]

I paid 4k for my 92 miata around 2014. 115k miles garage kept came with a hard top which are usually an extra grand. Soft top needed to be replaced but everything else was clean and its been my daily ever since. Hopefully this year i can get a new daily so i can put my baby in the garage but its gonna be my life goal another if not 2 more NA miatas.

[@adri1leusha]

2 years ago I paid 5k5 for a decent 1.6 NA (rolling condition, bit of work to do). I paid 900 later for a clean hardtop. I consider myself lucky I recently found a "cheap" 1.8 RHD NA that needs water pump + timing done. I bargained it for 3K with a NB 1.8vvt + hardtop

[@ShoeF1end]

April 2021 paid 4,200 for an 02 SE metallic grey with a clean 8/10 body with a new top and newly upholstered saddle brown seats and a 10 inch android in dash, new Bridgestones, I think I bought just in time a couple months later an se in worse condition was listed for double the price.

[@collinbrindley4517]

I paid 4,000 for a black 97’ stock 135k miles. Runs and drives as good as u could get for 135k. Matching hardtop.

[@CashedOutCars]

Great score, enjoy it!

[@rubberducky6411]

I've looked at a few here in Pa everyone had some sort of oil weepage around motor,even the 'clean' ones had it going on,I need to learn more about miatas so I know what to expect,a 32 yr old car with no leaks must be a miracle or it's common and nobody talks about it,just rust is what I hear people say to lookout for.

[@jonahjewell1613]

I paid 1,500 for a 96 Miata soft top it had 82,000 miles now has 90,000 miles still runs till this day!

[@apexchaser6187]

Michigan Miata owner here. Just pulled the car cover off, gave her a bath and took out for her first drive of 2023 😁. (Currently sitting in the driveway with a cocktail enjoying her pristine beauty as I type this). She's a 1995 with 210,000 (utterly problem free) miles. Montego blue mica with the pep package(lsd, power windows, cruise control, leather interior, etc). Paid $3100 for her 11 years ago while living in the PNW (140k @ time of purchase). Since then I've invested over 10k in resto and track mods. Turns heads and gets compliments every time I drive her. Fun watching the values go up, but...tbh, completely irrelevant as I plan on being buried in in it 😂. Only way I could ever see myself getting rid of it would be to replace her with an ND. Religious zealot in the church of Miata 😁! (You can see it in the thumbnail on some of my track day vids)

[@taquiypeurifoy1348]

i paid 3000 for my 91 its kinda clapped appearance wise but it has 147k miles but I'm not mad at my purchase I'm planning to fix her up and turbo it

[@roddydykes7053]

A rusty and missing interior trim one NB went for around 4k Canadian around me recently in Saskatoon. I’m optimistic there’ll be good deals to come

[@bop1051]

i just got mine today an 00 nb and i paid 7800, it has 3k miles on a forged motor, and leaky a/c, but came with ac kit, coilovers, rims, i believe i got a great car

[@bop1051]

and touch screen blue tooth radio

[@michaelstadtlander9460]

Got my stock 93' for 3k in 2020 with 110k on the clock. Old guy car garaged every winter since new. It was a bargain but I bought the car within 4 hours of it being posted. In that time the owner showed me his Facebook marketplace inbox of over 150 people asking to come look at it. I got lucky!

[@CashedOutCars]

Great score, enjoy it!

[@MaxSpeedMike]

I paid $1,450 in 2021 for a running and driving 99 NB Sport Model that needed a top and had faded paint. Ran and drove great with AC. Bought an $800 NA 94 Miata that didn't run. Rebuilt the motor swapped the transmission, took it to tail of the dragon. I have had difficulty finding deals like this over the last year. Prices are going insane

[@Supplayers]

I’ve owned three of these cars Money well spent I’d do it all over again and have 3 in my name lol I wish it was 1994 so I could buy a NA M edition from factory and be the original owner!!!! Can’t put a price on these cars they are priceless

[@Rdsw-techBlogspot]

Acabo de comprar un NB 2001 en muy buen estado por 7000, la unica "Modificacion" fue el radio. Lo compre en Puerto Rico tiene hardtop, 6 speed transmission, VVT y ABS.

[@slugstory]

just got a 96 with 80k miles for 5k, so fucking lucky loool

[@ivorwm2291]

My 2012 Grand Touring PRHT was free. My friend had a catastrophic oil leak on the Interstate. The engine died. He gave it to me and I ordered a new engine from Mazda

[@IntrovertStation]

I paid $2800 for a 99 10 yr anniversary with 125k miles and a trunk full of new parts from a guy who didn’t feel like finishing the project. So far so good with no rust and just needs a paint job, new interior carpet and to be switched back to manual.

[@CashedOutCars]

Good stuff! Enjoy!

[@morganlewis2667]

I paid NOTHING for a 94 NA 1.8 L with 15" rays wheels, coilovers, rollbar, hard top and vinyl soft top w/glass, 3 frame braces, manual shift ,limited slip dif, over size exhaust, custom dash and console, center panel high end gauges. new timing belt, main bering, water pump, racing seat, 5 point harness, 70,000 mi. It just sat outside about 4 years not driven as the owner was ill on the way out. He had quite a collection of cars but called this one his baby. He didn't need money and wanted me to take care if it. I only had to fix nonworking wipers and power windows. It is more fun the hotrods I has as a kid.

[@luisserranoxd2686]

I paid 4800 but 5100 after tax for a 99 3 years ago and I’m still ripping thru the streets on the Chicago suburbs and I got a hard top of a 94m edition for 900 from an old couple in Wisconsin god bless those boomers

[@tsukasa101]

2 years ago a paid 13k Canadian dollars for a 04 speed miata 130k km with a lots of good mods and in a really great condition but the last 2 years putted to much money on it haha miata life !!

[@DefyIsBad]

I got mine for 2G's a 1992 miata 1.8 swap she was in bad shape but for what she is its better than nothing, She still runs and acts fine lets just hope it stays like that forever lmao

[@yubacity0145]

Today I am buying a ‘93 Miata Manual with no rust, bad paint but has a new engine & transmission replacement holding 30k miles on it for $8000. Has a soft top, and the car is in overall good condition. I live in California. ANY OPINIONS??

[@joekev27]

I paid 4k for my 92 miata almost 10 years ago now it had only 115k miles and came with a hard top and was garage kept so nice and clean. I really want 1 more old miata one day I hope to get another old one and not pay 10k for one with 200k miles.

[@thatminnesotaguy]

I just got one for $1000 and 600 in shipping. The cars fenders are cut for a widebody kit. I’m in the process of preparing now.

[@_GarageThings]

Payed $2,500 for a single-owner '99 with 140k miles in 2009.. +$900 for a hardtop.. Glad I got in when I did, and I'll never sell it
