Thread: Looking for a Miata

    Default Looking for a Miata

    Wife of a friend is thinking about picking up a Miata as a weekend car. Thought I'd post here and see if I can help with her search. Here's what I know so far:

    • Looking for a 2000-2002, based on budget
    • Budget is $10-12K, with some flexibility
    • Color preference is silver, but other colors would be considered (though she doesn't like white)
    • Black cloth preferred to tan leather

    Car needs to be clean and unmolested. I don't think this car will be a candidate for aftermarket goodies. Let me know if you see or hear of anything she might like...

    Thanks!

    Would a low mileage '99 Sport with A/C and Power Steering meet her requirements?

    It isn't silver it is black, but has black cloth!

    Take it off and sell it to off-set the cost. Gary could pimp it out for her. Looks like a nice low miles car.

    It has around 40,000 miles on it (I can let you know exact mileage tonight).

    It has a larger front bar but I also have the factory original. It is clean, garage kept, Mobil one oil every 3,000 miles.

    It has never been a daily driver originally sold in the Carolinas I believe I am its 3rd owner. I bought it in September of 2005.
