I'm thinking about buying yet another Miata (this will be my 3rd) and I'm really wanting the PRHT. And I've found one 2.5 hours away, that is in the color I want, has the Suspention package and Premium package.
I've got the dealer down $500 from MSRP, and he said he might can do 6.39% for 66 months. Is this a fair deal?
I'm trying to get him to 5.39% which I think I can get. I'm certain I can get 5.99 %.
I'm going to keep my '97 Turbo Miata, so I'm only planning on putting down $2500.

Can you use S-Plan on them yet?

Saved us about $1500 on the Mazda 3.

The PRHT is actually pretty hot. Each dealer is only allocated a few each year and many are sold before they ever hit the lot.
yea, I'm a little short on Auto Cross's the last two years :(, but in looking at thier rules for S-Plan, it only stated that employee's & family members are eligable, along with vendor employees and thier families.Quote:

My youngster is going to get the '97, so I'll be de-tuning the car big-time tonight. I told him that I'll turn the boost up when he graduates, as a graduation present :roll:

I say we do an engine swap on it. Be the first to have a 2.3T iengine in the car. BTW I read that they were going to be putting the 2.3l turbo engine in next year.
Your son is getting the '97!!!!! DAMN! :shock:
Great decision on the copper red with the PRHT. :clap:
The guy I instructed at miatas@hallett had the same car. His car had 915 miles on it when he got to the track. He put those miles on it just from driving down from Illinois! It was still on the break in oil, too! :scared:
congrats on the new ride ... one day ill get one of those and stop fiddling with a soft top :D
Yea, my son's going to get the '97. I was going to sell it and buy him something else, but he wants it sooooo bad. So I'll bring the boost down to 8psi, and bring the Rev Limit to 6k rpm, and pull some timing. That should slow him down. However, I told him that if he really must race the car, then he can setup races for Kennadale, and I'll put in my current settings and go racing with him. Hopefully this will prevent him from getting stupid while driving on the streets. I'll keep the keypad and laptop components so he can't fiddle with the tune.Quote:

Sam, for some reason I thought you'd like the color. I personally think its the best color I've ever seen on the Miata, and the top really sets off the color, or vise-versa.
I am pumped, this is actually the 1st car I've bought new for myself, since I got married almost 20 years ago.
I don't plan to boost this one. I'm going to try my hand at Auto-X in a stock class. But who knows, if the h/p bug hits me, after the warranty is up, I may have to find a cold-side S/C ;)
You will love the NC, I have had my 06 for a year now and it's by far the best car I have ever owned. The MZR engine is phenomenal and sounds great to boot. When I bought my 06, since it was the last 06 on the lot so I didn't get my pick of the litter and I didn't get the suspension package with the LSD.
I find that whenever I apply too much throttle too early in a turn the back end will break loose and will slide out a little. However I also found that it is not hard to correct. If I ease off the throttle I can get the rotation to stop quickly. I guess it is on account of the light car with the engine mounted so far back, it's easy to both start and stop the car from rotating.
I assume with the LSD, you won't have too much trouble with that.
Congrats TD hurry up with those pictures! ;)
::Hyper:: I can't get the pictures till I pick it up....Dang is it Saturday YET::Hyper::Quote:

Call your salesman and tell him you need him to email pictures by noon or the deal is off. :DQuote:

Lotus actually has a cool red that's similar but a little wilder with a orange/gold flake in it.

Congratulations, TD. You should introduce your son to autocrossing, that should teach him how to handle the car.
Funny you say that, I'm actually planning on it. But between his p/t job and my projects, It's been hard to fit in. Soon, Hopefully we can get one in this season anyway.Quote:
