How much did you pay for your Miata project?

How much did you pay for your Miata project?
Not for the project as a whole, but for the initial car itself. I am browsing around right now and I'm curious to see what others have paid. If you bought your car new, totaled, salvage title, etc... please specify!
Since the motor will be totally over-hauled anyways, why not find a deal on a car with spun bearings or some price killer like that. I dont trust these salvage websites though, 25$ to register, 400$ deposit, etc...

There is a guy selling a miata out here in southern NJ with rod nock, torn seats, 1XX,XXX miles, etc... for about 1,500. I dont really want to pay more than 2,000 for the initial car because I will be replacing most of it, and what I dont replace will be ripped out and thrown away (Or parted out?)
Is this an unreasonable request? I see many 90-93s in my price range.

I paid just under $6k for mine. 1990 with 44k miles. It was always kept garaged, until I got my hands on it. lol
You get what you pay for. Some guys get smokin good deals though, but that's just a "right place at the right time" kind of situation.
Since I bought the car I've lost track of how much money has gone into it. I stopped counting after awhile.

Maybe I am expecting to find a car for less than what I am going to have to pay.
