Welcome to the board!

If you want to spend a little bit more you can get a brand new 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata (turbo!) for around 18k

For a used one, just holler on here and there are plenty of us around the Dallas/Ft Worth Metromess that would be happy to take a look at the car to help you out. There are also a couple of good mechanics that can be referenced as well.

I have been thinking... if they are selling the MSMs for 18k, what are they getting for a leftover LS??

Welcome aboard!!

For 14K you could score a nice used ride and mod the hell out of it!

ok, i guess i must tell you, i'm an absolute newbie here in this world of Miatas.... my brother has one and i'm in love with it and want one of my own.....

you say i can get a brand new one for $18k... where?????

I'm off a little... 19k for the Mazdaspeed at Town North (Hwy 75 North bound access road, just north of Spring Valley)

http://townnorthmazda.com/tnm/Homepa...icles?OpenPage

They have 2004 Miata LS for $6000 off sticker... and 2004 Mazdaspeed Miatas for $7000 off sticker...

Mazdausa.com inventory search shows 1 Mazdaspeed in stock there

2004 MAZDASPEED MX-5 Miata MSRP: $26,020* Dealer: TOWN NORTH MAZDA (16.50)
Exterior: VELOCITY RED Trans: 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANS VIN: JM1NB354940406846
Interior: BLACK FABRIC II CLOTH Engine: 1.8L DOHC 4-CYL ENG

It also shows 6 Miata LS models at Town North and Freeman Mazda shows to have 2 non-LS models over in Irving.

It's the right time of year to buy a 2004! I saved a little over 8k on my 2003 when I bought it in March of 2004. They want to clear out those last year models.

Good luck! Have fun but don't kill the salesperson right off. It's better to toy with them for a while before delivering the death blow.

Cool screen name too! You'll need to be clever with this bunch.

Kill Him NOW!!!!!, right away, get on with it, then rip him open and wear his entrails on your antenna like a trohpy...so that all car salesmen will run in fright and despair when they see you coming

Its what I would do.....muah hahaahahahaha...

There's a ton of information and help to be had here. Just ask, and someone here has been there and done that.

[Mental Note]: Don't sell anything to Billy...

[Billy Blaze]

LOL,...its just that I put carsalesmen somewhere way beneath Lawyers.

I think there should be an open season.

[channelmaniac]

Yeah,

They play all kind of crap games...

At least with lawyers you can ask around to find out who is the nastiest, slimiest, crookedest lawyer around so you can HIRE THEM
