it will look like wags car on the inside when I'm done, just need a good motor and drive train and a good body. let me know if anyone sees one.
after market parts, roll bar and base models are a plus

Jeff, based on what you're looking for (good body and drivetrain, bad interior) you might want to haunt the SpecMiata classifieds. Occasionally good donor NBs show up, but they seem to be in high demand as the NB is becoming more popular than the NAs as a SpecMiata.Quote:

How much cheaper are you looking for? $4k for a 1999 Miata that is even running seems pretty cheap to me, and I wouldn't classify either of these as turds (they look like they are worth every penny). If $4k is too much, how much are you looking to spend? My guess is there aren't any '99s out there that are actually running for $2.50 if that's what you are waiting for... :rolleyes:
oh weight let me transmulate into jeffanese: u dont no wat yer looken four does he? :punchout:
I know your checking craigslist.
Did you see this one for $3500?
http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/1434391637.html
Comes with an extra top which you could sell easily.
Seems to be the cheapest one I've seen so far.
I'm searching for a reasonably priced 90-93 Mariner Blue and people want more for those than what this '99 is going for.
I'll keep my eyes open for you if I see any '99s come up.
Mike, i assume you saw this smurf.
http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/1450241390.html
Yup, I emailed the guy last night.
But thank you. The more eyes looking might help in the search.
Kestrel, 4k is to much for a base model and i have seen those 2 postings and talked to both owners,.
http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/1434391637.html this guy i emailed a month ago and he just emailed me back this morning. he is out of town tell late dec and i'm going to look at it then unless i find better.
there are a bunch of 99-00 on clist but most people think they are worth 10k and they have been posted for months now for that reason.
I think Kestrel is correct. All those 99 in $4K range are usually dogs! For one with healthy power plant with less than 100K miles, and a decent body, you have to go up to $5-6K range. It will be a real TCB if you find one for $3.5K.
I just sold mine with 65k miles, 2 sets of mint wheels with new tires, new top, 600 dollar radio setup for 6400... I gave it away so I know you can find em
I have a faded red 99, IIRC its shows a little over 100k miles..........rod is out the side of the block, top no good, 5 speed, leather interior so it has a Torsen, clean title, one small dent on the right fender, bone stock. $2500
For an NB in reasonable shape (like with all the rods inside the engine ;)) that actually runs? If you say so. Let us know what you find... I'm very interested!Quote:

artur1976 i'll think about it. your car has more miles then i would like and an open diff
