Local miata for sale.
 
There is a miata for sale locally for $500. Its red 90, rust and a ripped top. I really wasnt going to pick it up for a DD but more as a project car, probally either drop a 5.0 or Sr20det in there.

What should I offer for it?

$1?

I'd just go give the guy $500 because it will be gone if you wait (at least around here it would). I had one for $450 the other day and turned it down. It sold later that week for $1350 on ebay.

I guess it's bone stock, yah? If it runs good, then $500 isn't bad for a DD as long as it's got a good (no-short-nose-issues) engine and good tires.

If you're looking to mod it w/an SR20det, then wait until a 94+ with Torsen and good paint comes along. A Torsen and cheap Maaco job is at least $1500... makes sense to buy a car for $2k already with a torsen and good paint.

How about this: http://norfolk.craigslist.org/car/405915913.html
If you're really looking to do a V8 swap, that's your car. I bet if you showed up with $2k cash, she'd sell. Then offload the hardtop, Torsen, engine, tranny, and interior... and not only is the Miata free then, you might've made enough to buy this: http://newjersey.craigslist.org/car/398901446.html
You can thank me later.

how many miles are on that car?

do what sam is talking about,the 500 dollar rusty miata will need alot more work thats not really worth it in the long run.

BTW, the car I was talking about had a bad crank! $1350 on ebay for a car that needed a new engine (sort of).

If you dont want it, I'll take it, I need some parts for my 1990. Please PM me the information if you arent going to buy it.

SOL General 09-02-2007 01:11 PM

Shainz ill split the cost with you if I can get the tires and dash.

hustler 09-02-2007 06:56 PM

I agree with the comment on the torsen. However, I scored my swap for $350 so its worth it.

General, I'm down for that. I'll split it with you, I just need to get the car home, then you can take the tires and dash. Let me know if you want to do this. My email is rkatsev@gmail.com. Please let me know.

If I were in NJ I would buy that in 2 seconds and then kick myself for having 4 miatas and nowhere to park them. But that's just me. You could part that out and make an easy triple back.
