    Default M Edition

    Not mine, no affiliation, just curious - isn't this an M edition, and don't they usually go for more, even needing the top?

    Google the phone number he has a bunch of cars for sale currently I'd bet he is need of cash.

    Plus with the high quality pictures it may actually be worth less than he is asking.

    Looks like a decent deal but not a amazing one, seems maybe three or four hundred less than it could go for, but there isn't a whole lot of info on it so there could be a reason for the slightly low price. To me atleast M-editions don't hold much of a premium over a C-Package, unless you have your heart set on their unique paints.

    Phone number is probably more likely for a dealer than a private seller trying to sell the 12 or so cars that popped up on google. Which leads me to believe that the is a good reason for the seemingly low price. My experience with dealers has been that they err on the high side if they don't know exactly what price they want a car to be set at.

    Several of the M's came standard with ABS and bigger (15") wheels. Both are a plus IMHO.

    Only the 93LE, 95M, and 96M came with ABS standard.

    True, and I think you would need more than 2 to say several. Ahhh I love sweating people over semantics.

    Has anyone ever seen a Miata weight comparison? I'd like to see how much the M-edition's weigh compared to the non-M's over the years.

    I'm able to lift a non-M car by hand, but when you throw in the M package, forget about it.

    There is one you can find linked to somewhere on M.net. Try searching year weights or something.
