Just spoke whith the owner of the miata in AZ, and he said he would ship it to me for $300!
Really tempting now, any comments? They also have a 30 day, 500 mile warrentee.

I suggest using some sort of escrow service if you do go that route. Did you get a carfax on that car yet? Have you seen enough pictures that you're totally happy with it?
You might post up on Miata.net to see if a local out there would mind checking it out for you. Just a thought.
Working on a carfax, was about to post on miata.net. The seller emailed me several (9) photos of the car from almost every angle, and I am very happy.
Post the rest of the pics here!
Funny story, before I could save all the pictures, the email was accidently deleted. :( I'll post what I have. (I feel stoopid)Quote:

I noticed those. Did you get any pics of the seats without those covers?Quote:

Good luck. Looks much safer to buy sight unseen than the silver one. :clap:
Get some of the top too (inside and out). That Arizona sun/heat is going to be tough on them.Quote:

My thing is....I would "never" buy a car i could not drive first!
But I do wish you luck in whatever decision you make.... :D
Did the pictures include the Vin Tags on all the major panels??
Also be careful what you post on Miata.net too much information and it will be gone!
I agree with River I would want to drive it first also.
If it's a dealer selling it they should be able to get the carfax for you.
Keep in mind a Carfax isn't perfect! A car can still be wrecked and have a clean Carfax record.
100% true! My civic was wrecked and it has a good clean carfax report.Quote:

Good luck!
Nice car :clap: ...I hope it works out for you.
Well my friend is gonna call me on the cell tom when he is looking at it and possibly driving it, and I am gonna have him look at EVERYTHING I can think of.
What was the asking price again?? ::Paul::

So what happened? Did you get it?
My parents said if they were going to help me, I would have to sell my focus first. :( I have to have a co-signer on any loan, due to the student loans I have, and I don't feel comfortable asking any body else to cosign for me. So for now my only option is selling the focus and then looking for another one. Mabye someone closer will have one for sale :rolleyes:
I know you're searching for a nice NB, but here are a couple of nice looking NA's for relatively cheap.
Besides, all the cool people drive NA's. :DQuote:
