This is my second turbo Miata. The first I sold a few years back. I was looking to rekindle the old flame so I purchased this car on eBay in March of 2010. After spending over $2000 on the stereo, tires, minor fixes, and getting the car licensed, registered, and OBDII inspected, I’ve decided this just isn’t the car for me anymore.

The good: everything above. Car has no mechanical issues that I am aware of. It’s a great little car that pulls strong.

The bad: Has a flood salvage title. Also, the trunk appears to have been replaced at some point. It is functional but you have to close it pretty firmly in order for it to latch.

Other: The tune at 12 psi seems decent. AFRs are around 11.5. In the mid and low boost range, the car seems to run a little rich.

Car is in North Houston.

I'm interested, and in Houston; left a phone message hope to hear from you soon.

Man I want this!

cjohnson

I still got it! Newly inspected too...not that a TX inspection means much in New Mexico.

jdmitrswapped

Bump! Is the roll bar included?

I will attest that this car seems to be fine, I drove it and it is indeed a fully funtional S4 turboed '02! Car shows average signs of age/use, but I could not really tell anything negative about the water damage.

GLWS and thanks for showing it to me; I'm still sorta on the fence but am pretty sure I will be sticking w/ my '92.

cjohnson

Yes, the roll bar is included. But wait! Call now and I'll throw in an extra roll bar for FREE!...okay not really. But yes, it does have a roll bar.

Hank - let me know when/if you want to take another look.

cjohnson

Price lowered to $6,900! (I don't know how to edit original post)

Okay so my na is set to sell next weekend. Now my 2006 Lancer es needs to sell and I will be an able buyer. I'm deciding between yours and cspence's na right now.

Any pics of the trunk issue? Pics of trunk interior with carpet pulled back? Not hard to total a miata but probably hard to hide it.

cjohnson

I tried to send a PM but I don't think it went...said I had to have 15 posts before I got PM-ing privileges. If you could, please send an email to cjtx@jhnsn.net and I'll get back to you. Thanks, Carlos

Still have not gotten an email back btw?

cjohnson

Sorry for the delay. Email sent.

cjohnson

I need to expedite the sale. If its not sold by middle of next week I will likely end up giving the car to a relative.

jdmitrswapped

Take my 2006 Lancer ES and cash. It's four doors

It's a great hauler too! I recently picked up a 99 Hood, front & back bumper, trunk and complete door 1,900 miles away. Got there and back in under 2 days and never upset the car.

Specifics on the flood title? Not many people want a flood title'd car.

cjohnson

No details on flood event. It happened before even the previous owner bought the car. There's minimal evidence of flood damage though.

In any case, a sale is pending. If it falls through I'll post something.

Please let me know if the sale falls through, I am in north Houston and very interested. Thanks.
