Is a 98 Miata worth anything extra
2 Attachment(s)
Hey everyone
I found a 1998 miata with 64,000 miles and hardtop for sale locally. When the guy said it was a 98 I looked at him funny, because I didn't think they actually existed. I looked at the VIN sticker and sure enough, built in 1/98. Just wondering if because it's a 98 if it's really worth anymore. |
I believe it is still considered a 97 model even though it was made in 98.

Here is a pic of the body. Clearly not a 97 body style. VIN code states NB
|
Then it is probably actually labeled as a 99. I would call up Mazda and give them your vin number and ask them what exact model year and options you have to know for sure. If you someone how a "98" model and Mazda confirms it I bet m.net would love you and people on there would offers millions of dollars for it.

I believe they started the '99s early that year because there was no '98. It's a '99 miata if it's a US spec car.
Also, hello from Maine. |
Nice to see another "Mainah" on the site. Do you know of any meetings or events locally.
|
There are quite a lot of 98 models here in Europe. My Nb is made 03/1998.
|
I called the dealer.... It's a "99" :sad2: There goes my retirement plan.......
|
My car is a '99, but I think my door tags says 7/98.
|
you know you can drink milk past the date on the carton? it's a sell by date, not an expiration date.

Yeah, my 99 is either 3/98 or 4/98 production.
|
Buy it cheap, then sell to some clubroadster retard as the "RARE UNICORN '98 MAD TYTE JDM EDITION" for 3x the price.
Profit. |
Too funny..... :) Wish i could. My luck i'd be stuck with it. The guy who owns it wants an automatic Miata. Told me that If i can find him an auto with about the same mileage he'd trade me. If I got it, I'd take the hardtop and sell the car...

Mine was produced 2/98, the 7477th one off the line. The last 5 digits of the vin will tell you order made. Yours for sure is one of the 5's that may exhibit crank walk issues, be careful to check it.
|
Yeah, there's not necessarily a correlation between year produced and model year. You know how near the end of the year you'll see people driving around in cars sold as next-year cars (like at the end of 2011, some had 2012 cars)? Those cars weren't built in the future...

Does it have 1998 rotary pistons?
|
my 1990 was produced in April of 1989
