    You bought a Smart Car and are selling the Miata? Can I ask a silly question?

    What's the thought process that made you do that

    I was thinking a little more than the $2000 mentioned for the fresh tires and the fact that the paint looks so good. Maybe $2500 if it runs well.

    However, I suspect that the damaged top may limit it's selling power. $2000 seems like a good price.

    Edit: I reread the original post and saw the newish transmission and clutch work. But I still think the rust and mild body damage balance to limit it to $2000. You might ask $2500 and see if someone bites.

    The wheels are 15" which is larger then most stock miata wheels until 01...

    Now this I don't get. On an economy car like this, why would they put staggerd wheels on it so that you cannot rotate the tires?!

    I always thought the color scheme's on those cars are inventive, They sell a lot of used ones in Weatherford.
    several months ago they had a lot full of them....dont know anything about the seller but they went quick!
    they even had convertible versions.

    that's a sweet looking little car, should be a lot of fun, just dont roll it.

    Those were new Gray Market 2005 and 2006 models. They cost a lot more for them because the cars had to be converted for the US regulations with a maximum of 1000 cars allowed by the DOT Regs. Typical sales prices for those wer egoing for about $10000 more than the current 2008 models. G&K Imports out of Santa Ana, CA imported them.

    That would probably explain why Greenville Pontiac is asking 22k for a used one then.

    Or just do http://www.greenvillepontiac.com/ if above link doesnt work and search for Smart in used inventory.
