On another note... I REALLY want this car...
Pretty sure this is a Sport, which would not have an LSD, unless ordered with a suspension package. If memory serves, that was limited to GT's. Call Mazda with the VIN and know for sure. It is relatively easy to add the LSD if you really want it, and they aren't too tough to find used. Its a damn nice car either way, especially at that price.
Sorry for the inactivity, just got out of surgery (appendectomy). Car still up for sale, but I've decided against selling the hard top separately, sorry :/.(price still very negotiable)
Finally stopped procrastinating and took pics with no top, and with soft top. Viewer discretion is advised (soft top has a tear :(....)

Not sure if the placement of the tear helps or hurts my cause because the majority of the top looks great, also seems like it's wearing out at the same place on the opposite side. Any suggestions?
Design flaw that all NCs have. Mine is torn too. I don't know if they changed it for the NC2s. Talk to OZMDD about what he did with his new top to help prevent that in the future.
^You remove the small straps riveted to inside the top's frame that make it fold into a tight 'Z' when you drop it.
Yep, once you unhook the straps, the tension is removed and the damage will not worsen. You can have an upholsterer sew and patch it if you like.
I have a cloth soft top that came off my NC for sale ; )
It doesnt have any rips and doesnt leak, just the glue bleed through issue all the cloth tops have.
I know it was a huge pain when I had a friend help install my NA's soft top, how about the NC's? Is it best to just patch it before sell, or have someone install a new one?
I replaced the top on my '07 but it was on the frame. Not a tough job except for removing all the interior bits is time consuming.
If you are selling it, esp at the price you are asking, I'd just unhook the straps and leave it to the next owner to decide. Your car is priced competitively.
Still for sale $11,500.. also, previous mileage was wrong, it's 68,7xx now.
Sold~
