    Talking well I bought one

    Thanks to Samm and to Rogue I purchased a very nice 96 miata or appears to be
    nailed a deal with info from them that was more than usefull . Would never have thought the car would go that cheap
    Will final it Sunday if all goes well

    1996 green with new top and good body and decent paint . Has to have some motor work
    So I know Rogue steered me toward this. You all know he has no personal motive in a car that needs motor work done on it.
    I think Samm has no interest other than Rouge has him in his back pocket
    Just joking Thanks to both of you for the time spent
    Would post a pic but am not allowed that option yet Just take my word the car does look very nice

    So how cheap is cheap? Be careful with all the TCBs around here when you say cheap! I guess it should be OK since you got the TCB president's approval! Congrats!

    A green 96? Was it repainted?

    Maybe Montego Blue like mark52s? It looks green under some light.

    Most likely it's Montego Blue Mica. It can look dark green in the right light.

    And, congratulations, doc. Have fun with your Miata, whatever color it is.

    You very well may be correct on the color I have not seen it in person just pics .This is why the deal is not done till Sun .
    We want to be sure that we are getting it as stated.
    Ok here we go motor itself is bad, does have a brand spanking new rebuilt head ,which I am not putting a lot of stock into as after the head was done then the garage told him the motor was no good and from that it is possible they were just trying to get to him some more .
    If I tell you guys what I paid then all of you have to promise to remove it from your memory in case I need to sell it down the road Paid 1500.00 which I think is really good
    SammI know it ain't no good with out no pics but I can't do pics says so at the bottom now maybe attachments and pics are two different things

    I honestly did not see that. I thought I could do an image instead of an attachment
    I clicked on the link and took me to the page I needed
    I have corrected this injustice and you should see it directly
    So will post in a bit Thanks Samm again

    Pos I do have one but it is in poor shape,it had really been abused when we got it ,and then I got sick and could not work on it so it continued to downgrade.
    It would take a lot of fixing to fix it up so thought when I saw this it was a much better car and worth putting a few bucks into

    These look awesome on Montego.
    (can run a regular 7 spoke until a 4 can be sourced)

    of course you should have a set of 7 spokes on your other '96 too.

    FYI, I have a set of 99-00 15" OEM wheels for sale. These should qualify for TCB light wheels! PM me if interested.
