Give car to teenage son. Problem solved.
I love my car and I had no intention of selling it, but other priorities are starting to pop up in my life. My teenage son needs a car and I have a spare Miata parked out behind my shop. I have two little boys that I really should spend time with and I'm a recent grandparent as well.
I also have an unfinished project of a v8 S 10 Blazer with backseats I could take my kids out and if I just had a few extra dollars to finish the project. But my extra money tends to going to buy stuff for the Miata at one time. That should change.
DETAILS:
1991 Miata. I have owned it for 2.5 years. It currently has about 170k miles. On an all stock motor. Registered and inspected.
I did a tuneup and the following maintenance items since I bought it... plugs, wires, belts, battery, air filter, PVC valve, fuel filter, starter, radiator, thermostat, valve cover gasket, flushed and bled new brake fluid.
- Alpine CD w/ iPod cable in center console, 6.5" alpine door speakers
- matching hard top
- window tint (25% on doors and limo on back)
- hard dog hard core double diagonal w/ restraint bar. Just installed in sept
- foamectomy that can easily be undone.
- flying Miata v-maxx coil overs w/ flying miata sway bars
- 205/50R15 star specs x2, and Falken Azenis x2 ... Less than 1000 miles. Bought in sept
- Da'lan trailer hitch w/ trailer wiring and wiring converter
- Grant GT Clubsport steering wheel
Body
- 1996 corvette grand sport theme. Admiral blue w/ arctic white painted stripe. Originally a white car. Vinyl red hash marks on fender. Matching hard top. Sherwin Williams basecoat clear coat paint 2 years ago. Not flawless but very nice. I hit a cone at high speed at mineral wells and chipped the front bumper. Just had it repainted.
- black 99 Miata 15" wheels
Spare parts
- 4 14" black daisy wheels with nankang 185/60r14 tires
- soft top not installed ( leaks)
- Stock steering wheel w/ airbag
- New brake pads in the box.
Looking to get $4,900 obo

I remember watching your posts on the car when you got it and how it transformed into this amazingly blue car. Sorry your selling it and GLWS.
'94 Miata "M Edition" - sold
'99 Miata w/td05
A grandparent? :faint:
How many miles now? Timing belt, & water pump changed lately? All this factors into price. miata.net classified may yield you more money.

Give it to the kid. Accident statistics for young drivers show the risk of accidents increases dramatically as the number of people in the car increases. You can only have two in a Miata.
And it's hard to text while driving a manual.
The hard part will be borrowing it back for Miatas@Hallett.

Would you be interested in making back some of the money by selling the suspension and swap for decent OEM?
I would rather not. I'd be very sad if I keep the car then
