You have to see these on craiglist within an hour of them being put up, or else you lose. I used to check craigslist like 6 times/day. This is how I ended up with a very nice black 99 with a pretty kickass set of konigs and a hardtop for $3500
I missed a 97 M edition one day, it had like 60k miles, factory green hard top, spectacular condition from the pictures, guy had it listed as a "millenium edition". I had check CL like 30 minutes prior and so it couldn't have been on there that long. Another guy beat me to it. Price was $3500, I was LIVID.
Cheapest Miata's I've seen are around 800, though they're usually crap. The cheapest that I've scored was a 93 C-package with 120k on the clock. The guy was driving it and "it just stopped driving about a block away from home, engine was still running, not making any funny noises, etc, but couldn't get it into any gears." I instantly knew the driveshaft had failed, and when I looked under the car, low and behold, the front yoke was laying on the ground under the car. That was $1250, and after I looked at it, I learned the guy bought the car brand new with a hardtop, which I scored for another $450. It had been sitting in his basement since he bought the car and was absolutely flawless.
A $70 used driveshaft later, and it runs like a champ!

Great idea tho, i'm gonna start checking Craigs meticulously, maybe I'll find a cheap Miata, thank you for the tip fooger03!
...I wanted to post a thankyou smiley but apparently Miata Turbo.net has a shortage of those, lol.
This will do,

That reminds me of when I saw a slammed, almost hellaflush (tasteful THO!) all black Miata that practically looked like a Porsche at some angles. It was selling for like 4-5k and was perfect, but I thought something was horridly wrong with it bc of price. Can't find that listing anymore. .. lol

I'd guess well over $10k. I'd imagine that one is large enough to fly over residential areas and have some people actually think it was a full size fighter plane flying over. Probably get 911 calls about fighter jets flying at low altitude over houses.
