Status: Clean Title I have a 1992 Mazda Miata for sale, in USA - Florida. Mileage: 69000 miles Asking price is $$6,000 I am strongly considering selling my current car before I head back out to CA in January, rather than deal with the smog nazis. Anybody who has been around the forum long enough will be familiar with it. Anyone who hasn't probably isn't prepared to deal with the level of awesomeness. Let's be honest- your kid wants a car for Christmas. A cool one. If you don't buy this car, then you're a bad parent. |
BAD luck with the sale Joe, don't do it!!!
|
Easy solution - stay in FL, screw Cali.
|
wait your still in FL as of now?? on another note GLWS that car is proly perfect!!! tune wise

posted 15 minutes after the "so drunk" post?
is this a cause for drunkeness or a result of it? |
Heh. I'd been mulling the idea around for a while, guess I finally had to get my drink on to muster up the balls to post it.
Yeah, I'm still in FL for the next few weeks. My sentence is up come January, and I'll be heading out to SoCal. And koto, not moving is not an option. Ever since I left last August, I've been regretting the hell out of it. As it turns out, my former employer (who I'd still been doing contract work for) has been getting increasingly desperate, and finally offered me a combination of money and terms that I'd have to be an idiot to turn down. P51, the state of tune on the car is pretty good. The ignition map could probably stand some optimization if I'd ever get off my ass and book some dyno time, but she runs nice and strong, and idles like a civilized car. It's not like it isn't making enough torque as it is. :D The problem is that I sold / gave away all the stock bits I need to pass the CA inspection. If the car doesn't sell, I guess I'll just haul it out there and keep the FL registration. But I'd kinda like to start fresh on and do an NB, so if I can find a buyer out here, so be it. |
Might be a good idea to list what's in it for those that haven't followed your car. Your sig will be confusing to them.

Swap for a basically stock '92 plus cash?

OG, I'm torn there. Part of me doesn't want to deal with someone who doesn't know the first thing about MS, WI, etc. However, the skinny: CHASSIS:
DRIVETRAIN:
EXTERIOR:
INTERIOR:
Am I missing anything? Oh, I'll be driving from Florida to San Diego sometime in January, and if nobody has bought it by then, I'll be hauling the car on a trailer. So, if you're a reasonable distance from I-75/ I-10 at any point along that path, I'll even deliver the car free of charge. |
Payment plan?? :giggle:

Having towed my Miata across country the other way (San Diego to Jax,Fl) I will tell you that a lowered Miata will fit on a Penske trailer regardless of what their website tells you. FYI, I got a great deal through Penske using the website discount and AAA discount. Also, cover the front of the car if you can. It took many hours of polishing compound to get the grunge off from being behind the truck for so long.
Good luck with the sale and the move. |

Plus, they recently converted their whole fleet 22' and up to diesel. Hooray! The last time (CA to FL) on the car hauler, I wasn't able to open the door of the Miata far enough to squeeze my body through it, but I could easily egress from the window and then open the door just far enough to roll it up. Door-to-fender clearance is the only problem I've had with the Miata on the Penske 4-wheel hauler. (I just wish those damn things were lighter.) |
I have driven the car in question at a high speed autocross event and can vouch for its very composed suspension, excellent grip, smooth running and idling, strong powerband, absence of bad noises, and overall very nice condition, and presence of water injection. Your car cornered so much better than mine that it drove me crazy.
Joe you makey me sad. But you makey you happy, so good job on the career move up. I wish you all the best. |
