Keep lookin! I found my '94 up tear Tulsa on eBay after I made the rounds on the DFW classifieds/DFW AutoTrader...
Believe me, keep checking back here... you might find a good one here or you might find one close on eBay...
Good Luck!

Yeah...I was kinda pissed, its been sold for a few weeks now, like I said that white one was *perfect*Quote:

Actually it is a really nice one. The first person to see it tonight (after I had to put in the new radiator yesterday :( ) is buying it, picking it up tomorrow ;).
Now I get to concentrate on my '93 LE... :D
Good luck with your searches. You will find one eventually.
Bought mine last April off of Ebay but I did go and look at it and test drove it before making the deal. Told him what I would pay and he agreed, so I placed my bid and he closed the auction early. Don't be afraid to use Ebay as a listing service but narrow the search to a distance you are willing to drive and check out the car in person. My two cents.
As an example, this is one I would take the time to look at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-...em200232153752&
Damn it. I got on here to email you. I scrounged up the extra funds today. :confused:Quote:

Something doesn't add up, the ad claims it's a 93 and a Limited edition but that it has tan interior. It's probably a C package or something else.Quote:

How did you find that Creek? I've been googling, yahoooing, autotradering, craigslisting, cars.coming it...... along with about a half dozen other places...
In 1990, leather interior was not available. In 1991, the BRG special edition car was the only one with leather. In 1992, there was an SE that was black with tan leather and BBS wheels. To confuse things, they also added a "C Package" that included leather to the lineup. It was only available in black with tan leather, so it was often confused with the 1992 SE although it did not have BBS wheels. When 1993 rolled around, there was the LE, which was black with red leather interior and BBS wheels. They continued to offer the C Package only in black and tan. That is what the car listed above is. In 1994, the C package was expanded to other colors.Quote:

Not that big a secret: AOL has a search engine that pulls up obscure online advertisers like the one you saw and the Dallas Observer and other free papers. http://autos.aol.com/
I've used that search engine.... I'm almost positive.... either way, i appreciate it!
As for free papers, i should go grab a thrifty nickle, greensheet....
I think i may drive to the bario dealerships next week and cruise around.
Just FYI, I bought my Miata off eBay and got a hell of a deal, IMHO. I talked to the seller, got a good feel for the car, and got his word that if the car was crap I wouldn't have to take it home. Yes, there was some risk, but I felt like this guy was golden - and he was. I was a last-second bidder and won the car at the price I was gunning for!
It was a LOT better deal than anything I found here in Dallas... but that was before I knew about DFWMiata.com...
Anyhow, before you buy, ask around here and see if anyone has anything good for sale. If not, see if anyone can check your potential prize out for you... ;)
We're generally happy to oblige...
Good luck!

Which brings up another point: If you find one that looks/sounds promising - do not pass GO, do not collect $200 - go check it out. Even that may not be enough.Quote:

I know, I have a 93LE myself. I was saying it's probably not a limited edition but a c package or something else.Quote:

It looks perfect to me, and it's even white....
I am always leery of an EBay ad that says everything is in Excellent condition. There has to be at least a few imperfections on a 100k mile car. Also, almost every early white Miata I have seen has had paint issues. As perfect as the paint on this one looks in pictures, I would not be surprised if it was a re-spray. Then again, if the price is right, I still might take a chance on it.
or... local... removedlink
that would be ideal..... no answer though.
In kinda want a white car so i can respray it pearl white.... I know some of you will think thats a crime.... lol
Bought her!!!!!

Nice car!
BTW... not sure what your airbag wheel looks like, or if you were going to ditch it or what, but my old one's not too bad. If you want it you can have it... I'm tired of kicking it every time I go into my closet.
Congrats! Nice looking car.
I'll take it if he doesn't. ;)Quote:

I need to get it titled to me, and inspected this month.... get 2 new rear tires before inspection (front are almost new), and do a brake job in the none to distant future. Other than that I think it's all good. Recently resprayed... cheapish paintjob, but ok from 10'. I need to clean overspray from the lenses. Also I am debating painting them white.... Any reason NOT to?
Anyone have an OEM cd player for sale, or sitting in a closet?
A boot (roof?) cover they don't use?
Any other parts?
Sorry Todd... I got Simon's PM first... :punchout:Quote:

The Haynes book will be a good guide to your brake job, but if you need help, I've done a couple... ;)
Congrats, one less person to compete with in my search : P. I recommend this book.
http://www.amazon.com/Mazda-Miata-En...932756&sr=8-12
I have the 1.8l version for my previous car, and it's really good.
Congrats! The Enthusiast's book is a good one to have. Plenty of normal how-to instructions on Miata.net too.
If that's the one I sent you I get a finders fee. Either way let me know if you need any help. That year model would not have a OEM CD player. It would have a AM/FM Cassette which I could probably lay my hands on but you wouldn't want I assure you. Congratulation!!! Let the spending begin and the joy be unconfined. Oh, wait....I'm supposed to be a sourpuss....Quote:

Oh, by the way the Texas Region SCCA is having a big swap meet next month, should be plenty of goodies there: http://www.autocross.com/texasregion/
nope, was a different one... the one you found never contacted me via email, and the phone number was no good.
im wondering if this would fit and just be a plug and play....

So it's Easter, when the dead come to life, So, thought I'd bump an eons old thread.....
