96 Miata worth the price and turbo'ing?
Hi everyone i have been doing some research and i finally found the miata thats clean and that drives really well. Its a 96 miata with 190k Miles on it. the link to the craigslist is here 1996 Mazda Miata . I have negotiated with the buyer to sell me the car for $1800 Do you guys think its worth that much? i looked up the kbb and it said to be around 1700 on excellent condition. This is my first miata so i really dont know much about what i am getting into besides that its really fun to drive and a bit underpowered. Which brings me to my next question as i was researching im looking for about 2k-2.5k for a turbo build but wondering if that engine with 190k miles will be reliable to do a turbo upgrade on?...what do you guys think any opinions will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Indianapolis uses lots of salt on their roads in the winter. Bought my mini from a guy there, had surface rust out the *** on the underside, and paint was bubbling below the tail lights (all the moisture and salt accumulates on the back of minis pretty hardcore)
Check over it all, if there is no rust, Buy it. $1700-$1800 is a steal if its all good. Mileage is no concern with miatas for the most part, as long as they took care of it, and everything checks out
