I can sell my '94 R for $4500 to recoup my costs for the new wheels/tires and title transfer headaches. It's a great car but I got it for much less :).
Is it a Laguna?
A buddy of mine is selling his white 95. Pretty clean car. He just did the tb and wp. Has 99 upgraded suspension and roll bar. 165k miles. Unfortunately it is open diff. Let me know if you are interested and I can talk to him. $2400
Well?? Still taking the bus?? ;-)Quote:

Well the great news is that almost any Miata can be the right one if the price is right. As far as I know there are only two real major bad things I've seen and that's rust in the rear quarter in front of the tires due to clogged rain rail drains and rust in front fenders due to an accumulation of crap in front of the door between the fender and frame. Battery well rust can be bad too if someone ditches the AGM type batteries and there is seepage. Other than that almost anything on a Miata is pretty easy to address. I feel its almost the ultimate enthusiasts car because they are so easy to work on. I'd really like for my 16 yr old son to drive one regularly except they are very small and he is probably going to have a wreck sometime.Quote:

At this point I'd settle but I havnt seen one I love.
I've been helping look for jmoney, and I haven't really seen a decent car locally. I've seen more automatic NB's than I have in the last several years.
Saw a nice 94 R-package with hardtop on FB today. Think its in Florida. Around $4k, 111k miles.

I did see it on FB, but was distracted by pictures of cats, and recipes for jam. :DQuote:

Saw it before both of you. Already bought it, removed valuable parts, and sold it back to the same owner at a profit.
Anyone know of a good mechanic in Killeen, ft hood to do a PPI?
^A quick check of the google found this...

This could be an awesome weekend!!
Better bet is to pay Rogue to go down and do the ppi. He's the one who will be working on it down the road anyway.

Just a secondary data point - Our local Mazda Dealer couldn't even do simple warranty work when our Miata was new. Not sure how much I'd trust the lube technician recently promoted to service tech in Kileen with a inspection of a Miata that is more than likely older than he/she is*......Quote:

Shit man well id like to know it's worth it before I drag Shana on a 5 hour drive. What would you do?
Keep in mind I am not a fan of new car dealer service departments. Because I have experienced enough inept "technicians" in my many years that I am now jaded.Quote:

And I'm supposed to convince the seller to drive an hour to round rock on a weeknight drop his car off overnight for a seller he doesn't know and might not buy the car, have someone else drive him back. Then somehow coordinate it to where they can drive an hour back there, but before the weekend... Just to potentially sell the car. I wouldn't do that if it was selling the car.
