Status: Clean Title

I have a 1996 Mazda Miata for sale, in USA - California.

Mileage: 87500 miles

Asking price is $18000.00

Well, it's time to move on to another project. So, I'm selling 2/3rdsCobra. This isn't a need to sell sale so it's not OBO. Also, it WILL NOT be parted out. This car was autographed at the 1st Miata's at MRLS by Tom Matano in 2009. He stated it was one of the best built Miata's he's seen. It has also been in more than a few magazines to include the deceased Miata Journal and Keith Tanners Workbooks (in two of them). The price is the price but for what I'm asking it's more than a good deal. I have included all of the upgrades it has itemized below. It uses only synthetic fluids which are changed regularly. Only OE parts are used unless there is a better aftermarket one. There is NOTHING wrong with the car; it runs/drive fine. It is not a daily driver, never has been. It's available for inspection (I have a lift so the buyer can have full access to the chassis/underside/powertrain for inspection) and test drive only with verification of funds. The car will come with some spare parts to include 949 racing wheels w/NT01 rubber, another deck lid with an extruded aluminum APR GTU II wing, a lap top with Datalog Lab tunes for the link, a custom 3500 lb. twin axle compact open trailer with new tires, 10000 lb. tie down set and a removable winch. The cost of the car/trailer package is $18000.00. If it's a California buyer, the cost is $18500.00 since it needs to be smogged and I have to remove the FMII set-up and replace it with the Vodoo which is CARB approved. Please feel free to ask me any questions about the car.
