Can't decide (potential miata purchase)
I took a look at this car today: http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/car/597135703.html
The guy said he would take $3400 without the wheels.
Its got a ton of stuff done to it, but has 192k miles (100k on rebuilt engine/tranny), and definitely needs a lot of TLC. Rusting in front of both rear wheels, A/C shot, not sure if it has an LSD (if it does, it is shot), needs clutch slave, needs a bunch of odds 'n ends taken care of. I think this person had great aspirations, but never the time to finish stuff off properly.
I would probably buy the car just to part it out, but I can't decide if it would be worth all the work.
Thoughts?

I wouldn't mess w/ this rust bucket.. plus 192k is alot of miles. If its that rusty I'd imagine its a nightmare to work on. Keep this in mind 
The only way I'd rock this junx is if I could pick it up for roughly 2.5k w/ everything and part it out. The car isn't worth much considering the miles and rust.
