That's nice, or everything except the ugly BRA. I love the 10AE's. Would make a good SO's miata.

Yea I've seen that one before. He only got up to about 11,500 last time I believe.
Nice, but no one will pay that kind of $$$ for a 10AE no matter how low miles and good condition it is. It is just not a collector car! It is meant to be driven! It may go for that kind osf money in another 10-20 years. Than again, after adjusting for inflation. It will continue to depreciate. The fair price may be around $10K. It is strange to have aftermarket tires on a 6K-miles car. Does not all the 10AE has the rear spoiler? The only thing it does not have what I wanted in a 10AE is ABS.
The only options available on a 10AE were ABS and a hardtop. The U.S. Spec 10AE did not have a spoiler. The euro spec ones did but no foglights.
Tires will go bad in 10 years no mater the mileage. Hoses are not trust worthy at this point, nor is the timing belt or other belts.Quote:

Yep she'll need new rubber all around. But that's not a big deal. I believe the limited slip was optional too.
Nope - limited slip was standard on all 10AEs.Quote:

Those are the original rims. 10AE's had the polished 15" 5-spokes.Quote:

Production run of 7500 total is not what I would call particularly rare. Granted, that it is low relative to the total number of miatas being built in a given year. Not trying to take anything away from the miata anniversary edition. Looks like a nice car.
Hater. :-)
Doh! Yeah I guess it was another car I was looking at...for some reason I thought he put different rims on it.Quote:

Not matter what the final sale price is. The minute the hammer drops, the price goes down a couple more notches. The price on the 10AE has been dropping! Granted this is a very nice example and has a matching hardtop, it is till too high! Why not kick in a few more grands and get a 10 year younger NC! No matter how good the 10AE is, I am sure any of the NC is better, unless you buy it as an eye candy!
