VIN is easy to check for both the OP and planet miata. Why didn't Planet miata just show the OP right at the beginning the vin tag on the side of the engine didn't match the chassis? The OP might not have realized there is a tag on the engine, I don't fault him for that. But someone in the business obviously knows that. Unless the vin tags did match. Who knows at this point. it's something both parties now have to live with.

@ Tim, seems like the OP made up his mind while playing detective even before an explanation.

Planet-Miata sounds like good people, will buy from them!

Also wanted to point out that if you came over to our shop and started going through my sh*t taking pictures and pulling off parts, even if its parts that you came to buy, I'd tell you to go f yourself.

I assume all junkyards lie about miles/condition/testing of components. I sell big wheel loaders with car forks to several of them and they all do it as a standard practice. I'm more surprised the op expected accuracy.

----..I got negative props...when the OP gets banned do my -props go away? I have 100% positive feedback on e-bay and now this.

Sorry for the off topic.

worrying about props is like worrying about your post count. only the faggits do it

And yet you can clearly see who the major douchers (like Pusha) are cause they have negative prop counts.

Haha, I literally pulled Steve to the car to show him that the hose is a perfect match In any event the motor has over 100,000 anyways. I did run a report on it. In 2008 it had 102,000 mi on it.

Wow

13 miatas a day

that means

OVER FOUR THOUSAND MIATAS A YEAR?????

so this is where most miatas go to die

seriously.... even at 5 miatas a day that is over 1500 miatas a year.

vtecisWACK!
the vin is indeed for the red car. you can google it and find out mileage is roughly 125-127 or whatever...
a rollback can easily be an engine swap and considering we drive miatas, of which there are over 900000 in existence, an engine swap is quite feasible.
in fact, op you were going to do an engine swap.

now, if you look at the other vin number - JM1NB3533X0103010 - it's for a green miata with roughly 85-88k on it.

Yeah same here, I didn't know they were 'local'. I may have to look into that
