1990 silverstar metallic

Ok guys Im selling my 1990 miata, I love it but its not really practical for me to have, being a poor college student. It has 150K miles, new springs on the rear, frankenstein bolts, brand new soft top window is very clear. Car is a blast to drive. Currently there is a 99 1.6 diff but I have an open1.8 from a 94(included). Ill include the top boot, which is tan, and a little dirty. Shifts good, runs fantastic. I installed a new CD player as the one the PO had was junk. I am an electronics tech so the install is quality. Interior is in good condition, drivers seat is a little worn but the passenger seat is like new. The few things wrong with the car are, cruse control doesnt work. The ac/heat fan doesnt work, and there are a few dents and dings. I am in buffalo NY and Im looking to get $3200 OBO. Reasonable offers only please. Also I have one of those swingy front plate holders thats included.

It's a 1.6 6inch differential. Never mind the 99 part.

Yeah I was told its a 1.6 out of a 99 but it must of been swapped in after blowing the diff that the 99 came with. But anyways its a 1.6 diff.

honestly I didnt care about the cruise because I dont really like using it. Im not even too sure that its hooked up all the way. It appears that everything for the AC is still intact just when you turn on the fan it doesnt blow, if you put it to heat and let the car warm up it will get very warm in there. I cant find the circuit breaker to see if that was it.

theres some rust on the rear control arms, but other then that there isnt much. The diff that is currently in the car has some surface rust on it but I am including the 1.8 swap I have which is very clean.
