142k is alot of miles, but if it has regular maintenance it should be fine.
hello all, i am thinking about buying a 93LE, but the only problem is it has 142K on it. i am going to have him bring the car to a mazda dealer in his home town, but i am going to be using this car as a daily driver. Any thoughts on this? should i wait and buy a car with less miles?

he has just done the timing belt but did not do the water pump or any of the pulleys. seems like he has done most of the maintenance but i am just worried about useing it as a daily driver.Originally Posted by blackzx3_13
Is the car down in Austin? Have you checked with the local Miata Clubs in your area? They may have a trusted shop that could give it a look see.
I agree with blackzx3_13 if it's been taken care of mileage isn't that big of a deal.
How many Miatas have you bought in the past two weeks? I see you have a Yellow and a black one now.
no it won't be my third. i have sold all the others about 2months before my house in new orleans got messed up for KATRINA. i have sold the 92 yellowOriginally Posted by Treibenschnell
