Seems that it was purchased and parked in a garage, wasn't being paid for nor being insured, and the credit union reposessed it. They wholesale'd it to the Sewell Ford/Lincoln/Mecury dealership, who was just getting into Internet sales. There were three bidders that would have paid $17 for it(including me), but I had been in contact with them from the time the car came up for bid and we had a good raport going, since they knew nothing about Miatas, and.....well.....I know a little bit! In an effort to get good sales and positive responses, they gave me first dibs on it and felt I would give them good feedback, which I definitely will. The other two bidders were just re-sellers and ya never know with them. They're just in it for the money. I got it for a little over $4000 under "S" Plan.

Very Nice! :clap:

Those BIG wheels don't hurt it none, either. I'm going to check with the MER guys and see if they are throwing away any of last seasons race shocks.......
Coil overs, remote reservoir shocks, 700#/400# springs! YUMMMMMMMM

So, are you gonna buy the white car????????

Very nice, Merv. ::pimp::

S.

Is this a Sport, or not??? It says 5-speed in the ad, but the Sport came with a 6-speed in 2006.

That was one of my concerns when I first started looking at it. 17" wheels and a 5-speed? Never been such an animal, even though I liked the idea. I finally got a copy of the REAL dealer invoice and it shows MX5 SP 6P. As I said, they didn't know much about the car. He also verifed it was a 6-speed, and if you look closely at the picture of the interior you can see it on the shift knob. It's a zero option car, so it doesn't have the sport suspension, but I prefer something a little better than non-adjustable bilsteins ;)

At least you can rest easy that it hasn't had any McWrath special repairs done. Or maybe the 6speed knob was left in it?

So apparently the RPF1's are the wheels of choice for MX-5 guys.

They are very light for there sizes and look great.

Nice looking car, I love the color. I want to paint my car black.

I have some Krylon and a huff bag if you want to borrow them.

BTW Merv, Congrats on the new baby:clap:

Shelley asked me the same thing last night! I guess I should. Maybe Sunny #2 and the 93LE. I've also got Morris' 90 silver in the barn, that should go too.
