    Default Thinking about selling out.

    You guys know my car, if you don't you can read about it in the blog section ad nauseum. The poor thing is sitting in a garage collecting dust and drying out. I am thinking about finding it a new home instead of swapping out batteries every month or so when I want to start it. It was last driven in March, poor baby.
    It's a 94 R pack with a hardtop and over $10,000 invested. I just don't know what to ask for it. Nothing wrong that I know of (except battery dead again). Any suggestions on a fair price or where to list it that wouldn't get a bunch of lookie loos would be appreciated.

    Stop buying batteries and buy a battery tender instead! Unless you need the cash I would just keep it, too fun of a car for too little $ in return if you sell it.

    The car is a 94R, the hardtop is '92.

    If you absolutely must sell it, I'd look to the SCCA forums given its current configuration. If you still had the stock wheels and suspension, miata.net would definitely be the place. Might still be a viable option, but the purists might turn a cold shoulder to such a modified R-pkg.
