WTB Miata Immediately - $2500 to $3200 range

[Acree]

As the title says, I am looking for a Miata between $2500 and ~$3200. I have an 06 Evo that has had constant engine issues in my pursuit for a high hp daily driver. I was sitting at 615hp for 2700 miles and I spun a bearing. I've decided its time to pick up another car that's also fun to drive. I primarily need it to get back and forth between work and home and school. Here is a link to my dyno thread. I am looking to purchase within the next 7 days.

These are a few must haves:
-Stock motor in perfect running condition - I can not afford to have the thing strand me in the middle of no where. It needs to be 100% reliable. I do not mind minor maintenance issues, but the motor needs to be mechanically sound.
-Working AC
-Working Seatbelts
-Working door locks

Other than that, I am very flexible on issues. I could care less if the thing has dings and scratches on it.

If you guys have one, or know of anyone looking to sale theirs, please let me know!

I can be reached anytime of day at [email protected]. I have email on my phone and will respond almost immediately. Please include a number you can be reached at. Thank you for reading!

Sorry about your Evo.

FWIW, I *never* locked the Miata. Either the top was left down or I just left it unlocked so they wouldn't cut the top. I also left nothing of value in the car.

I do the same..there's nothing in there worth stealing and if they want the stereo, take it..I want another one anyway!

who built your evo?

[Acree]

Evolution Dynamics in Lewisville. We're pretty sure it was due to oil starvation. Either way, she'll be back up in a couple of months. I've had a couple of promising calls today so hopefully I'll be puttering around in a Miata here in 3-4 days.

Here is some good stuff on buying a used Miata - http://www.miata.net/garage/garagebuying.html

Try to find one with a good top as that can be an expensive fix.

My top was $200 ebay bucks and some time (I didn't change the rain rail, had rivets at the house). Not too terrible.
