Thread: Low shipping rate

  1. #1

    Default Low shipping rate

    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.

    Funny story, before I could save all the pictures, the email was accidently deleted. I'll post what I have. (I feel stoopid)

    IF I do get this car (and its a big if) I know where someone can pick up a cheap set of seat covers.

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

    Good luck. Looks much safer to buy sight unseen than the silver one.

    Get some of the top too (inside and out). That Arizona sun/heat is going to be tough on them.

    I have a friend going to school in Phoenix, and he can take a look too.

    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.

    OTOH, My dad has bought 5 miatas without seeing or driving them, but they were all 90-93'. You just have to ask all the right questions, see closer pictures, and get a good feel for the seller.

    Good luck!
