Default Hey guys I'm looking for Lava Orange Mazdaspeed Miata

Hey guys I was in a bad car wreck last week and totaled out my 2000 evolution orange miata after a guy ran a red light and smashed into the side of it so now I'm trying to replace my baby with a Lava Orange Mazdaspeed Miata but seem to be struggling to find any for sale. If anyone is wanting to sale one or seen one for sale please let me know. My number is 205-533-4874 and My email is Blakehouston14@yahoo.com. I don't mind traveling for the right price/miles thanks

I'm not a big fan of evolution orange, but the lava orange is awesome!

That one Eric linked looks pretty damn nice, jump on it OP!

LB takes great care of that car. I've seen it and it is probably the best one you will ever find in that color.

Yea I talked with her and she said there is 4 people ahead of me wanting it so I guess still searching. And yea I've found some awesome deals on other colors I'm just scared I will regret the purchase because I've kinda set my heart on that color. Thanks guys

yea i was thinking about going to look at it but i saw some videos on youtube that someone uploaded on craiglist of her car and she was letting two different people drive it in a parking lot and they just stayed on the rev limiter for the whole viddeo which was close to 30 sec long. kinda makes you scratch your head on how much longer the engines got and how well it was taken car of.

The CR car and the one that has 4 people in front of you for it are the same car.

yea but she told me it was still available when i talk to her yesterday and then i saw that. and hitting the rev limiter and shifting is one thing but it sounded like he was just trying to blow the thing up he just gas the car and let it sit on the rev limiter. Im starting to think i should just save some cash and get a different color

It's a BP, who cares? That car has a 6500rpm rev limiter. It's pretty impossible to hurt it with the rev limiter on that car.

I'd be more worried about an OEM ECU blowing up the motor on well... ANY MSM EVER.

Let's get this straight here. The car was NOT bouncing off the revlimiter for 30 seconds like you claim. In fact, even if your parents did give you the money for the FULL amount, not the lowball offer you gave Laurabeth, I wouldn't sell you the car. We don't appreciate the childish voicemail you left her at 3am this morning nor do I appreciate your "Buyer Beware" post you created on Craigslist. Take your money elsewhere. Thanks.

For those that are interested in the car, it's still available due to the original buyer having to back out for personal reasons. Can't blame the guy for his reasons. The car has in FACT been taken very good care of.
