    Default May have to sell the Miata! Need advice on pricing if I do.

    Looks like I am geeting laid off on monday from Lockheed so I be having to sell the Miata eventually. Its a 92 red with 81k. I have just about fixed everything on it and it looks great. A couple of hail dents but otherwise body is great. Any idea of pricing guys?

    I wish I knew about this site before I bought my Miata, but I still think I got a decent deal

    Sorry to hear about the layoff. That's the defense contract business for you. Thanks Dubya!

    I'd probably ask for $4K for the car and be willing to take a little (no more than $400-$500) less. I listed mine in www.cars.com and was happy with the results.

    Again, let me know when you decide...I suddenly have a very eager buyer. Sorry sammm, it's the same guy that was one the fence post when deciding on your car... now he needs a vehicle more than ever.

    No problem. That's why I ended up listing it externally. Too many people on the post! :P

    Damn. I'm tempted, but the wife has that money earmarked for bedroom furniture. Given that we're still sending Mazda hefty checks every month for the MSM, a second Miata might be a little much.

    My wife is a Caddy type person she likes a big car with a smothe ride, so why can't I keep her outta my MIata?

    I think we may buy a new one if she dosen't stop hijacking the Blaze Mobile. (what does a new Miata go for these days?)

    It goes for MUCH cheaper if you buy at the right time...

    I saved over 8K off the sticker of mine by buying a brand new 2003 model in March of 2004

    $26,085 on the sticker... $17,999 + TTL out the door.

    Funny thing is... that was the price marked on the car... which was less than the S Plan pricing I'm eligible for through work...

    Dealer discounts, rebates, and factory to dealer incentives combined to just push the last few cars out the door.

    I will let you guys know. It will probably be sometime in March before I would decide to sell. They give us 60 days notice. If I do not find a job by then I will sell it.
