put WTB in craig's list, betcha anythign you can get one under $700.

 

I'm glad I got mine already. Locally $1,200 is the going rate, but there were only 2.

 

I already have mine, got it locally for a song. Just making an observation.

Hardtop prices are what newbs will pay for them

 

that **** is ******* gay. Miata prices are starting to get stupid for everything. I just bought a car yesterday. At first I thought people were dilusional, then I realized that people are willing to pay these prices for miatas because there is someone stupid enough, who wants one bad enough, to pay 50% over kbb for a car.

I need to get a hardtop btw. This is going to hurt. I paid $1600 for my 1991 with a hard-top, and just paid $1400 for a 95 without. ITs going to be a bitch to find one at a reasonable price.

 

I think a part of it may be people going retarded over gas prices. When I see 04 GTOs listed for 10K and 05 stage 2 LGTs for 12K I get really tempted.

 

mpg was a contributing factor in my recent miata purchase. My broken outback only gets 20mpg at best.

 

Yeah the gas is getting out of hand.. I considered trading in my jeep for a Maz3 at the local dealer. We'll see.

 

today I'm telling people that I'm holding out for that diesel accord.

 

I can understand the price of the OEM marina green top. Hell if I didnt have mine, which is a BRG top, I would buy that marina top in a second. I paid 850 for my top, it would cost me another 300 to repaint it to match my car. For the same money I can have an OEM top with the headliner and defroster. Makes sense to me.

 

+1 for hardtop prices, not that I'm in desp need for one, but would def love to have one..

+1 for gas prices, got a Jetta 2 mos ago, but gonna swap it in once the Diesel's come out...
