I have a chance to buy a 1993 base red miata from a family friend he's the only owner, the car is bone stock with 11,000 miles. Any idea of a real value before I offer a price? The car has never seen snow or even rain.

Thank guys

Look at www.kbb.com, which is kelly blue book's web site. You can enter in the year, make, model, mileage, and options for nearly any car to find a value, depending on the condition you enter. Prices for that particular 11,000 1993 Miata range from $2900 in fair condition to $3600 in excellent condition. It sounds like the car you're describing is in excellent condition. So $3600.

I sold a 20-something thousand mile Miata a few years ago for about $7k.
Kind of sad, but I no longer remember what year it was or the exact odometer reading, but it was an all original 1.6 era car in the 20k mile range.

I looked at KBB but was wondering because of the rare condition/mileage if the real world value would be more than the KBB listing.

I was going to say $5-7K. This is definitely an outlier situation, which KBB isn't really meant to cover (although KBB does have a factor to try and account for low mileage). You can certainly show them the KBB value, and see if they'll take it. An always-garaged, 11K mile '93 Miata for $3,600 seems like an amazing deal.

You will have some maintenance to attend to though. But it should be easy stuff.

I guess I missed the sale.... I talked with them this morning about the car (wasn't even listed) and called back just a few mins ago. I guess the neighbor bought it for $3500. Damn it!!!!
