If I was to sell my Miata, do you guys think I would be able to find the right buyer willing to pony up a decent amount of cash for it, or would I most likely need to part it out? :confused:

It really depends on what you think it's worth.
Well, putting it back near stock and selling the car separate from the parts, I am pretty sure I could get between 9k and 12k depending on weather I am patient or was to just dump it all piece by piece on Ebay. I guess I would need to see 10k to let it walk in one piece. As with most custom Miatas, I'm afraid it just isn't worth as much to most as the sum of its parts would be.Quote:

MAP, but you can't have it. ;-) 1) The 1.6 LINK is different than the 1.8, and 2) If I part it out, the LINK will be the one piece I keep.Quote:

Uh, I think that'll rule Iain out, too unless he plans on taking a saw to the RX-8.Quote:

Yeah, but I guess I wrote you and Iain off a while ago. With Bean, there is still hope.::Bleh::Quote:

You're welcome to buy the whole car and then part it out yourself so you can keep the LINK.... but it still won't work in a 1.8. ::Clown::Quote:

I ran into the same problem with mine, although I think pitlab77 and I have found a way to iron out the details...
Nope, no saws and no sunroofs. The new car will be solely lacking in sky-viewing capacity! :(Quote:

I have been in love with Miatas since I was 15 and first saw a picture of one in Popular Mechanics in my high school library. I knew I would own one someday, and as soon as I bought her, I was sure I would have her forever. Nothing has done anything to cause that feeling to waver until now. As I pour over the specs and pictures of the Westfield SEi, I get that same feeling I had looking and dreaming of the Miata when I was 15. Sure, I can fantasize about lots of supercars and such, but they are not within my reach and may never be.Quote:

I am thinking that I will then drive or fly up there to test drive it. If it meets the expectations that the pictures and specs have built in my head, I will then put the Miata up for sale. But I need to be really sure, because I still really do love my Miata.
Not that you want anyone convincing you to sell the Miata... But rest assured that you will get lots of folks volunteering to help you build your Westfield... So that they can remember why they don't want to build one themselves...Quote:

Yes, it is similar to what Keith has done, but it just seems so right for this car.Quote:
