Model Inquiry
 

2003 Mazda Miata (one owner)
I know nothing about NB's.. Can anyone tell from the picturewhat model this is?

Looks like a regular nb2, LS (basic 5sp car with ps/ac/power windows)

I was going to say its overpriced, but then I noticed the low mileage, so its not bad.

Worth snagging for $7,000 just to flip it? Figure I can get rid of the hardtop for 1k. Hopefully she has the factory wheels.

My gut feeling says you'd probably have to get it for around $5-6k to make it worth flipping.

Unless your goal is a free hardtop. In which case i'd probably pay $7k for it, keep the hardtop, then sell the car during tax season.

flip? meh
keep? yeah.
super low mileage original unmolested NB with matching hardtop is a great car to start with

and if you drive a proper nb2 like that back to back with an na you'll never want an na again.
drove my dads 92 the other day and my miata feels like a pagani zonda compared to it lolz

it's a base model. don't believe any grandma drove it. I wouldn't pay over 6500 and I'd have to want to keep it.

Not worth flipping at that price either.

Books for high 7's without a hardtop up in my area. I just sold my 02 SE(bought it for $1000 under book in December) for $800 over book last night.
I'll check it out just for shits and giggles, it's only 10 miles from my house.

Good thing you asked our input. :giggle:

:ky:I didn't know what model it was to book it at initially, and I was hoping it had a 6 speed...

ask for vin.
pull up that page someone from m.net made that breaks down which came with what.
???
profit

Already have the VIN. Will do. She's meeting me at work today so I can throw it up on the rack.

it's a base model. same as LS but no cruise or power locks or LSD or tan interior.

Anybody give me definite answers? Trying to figure out pricing before I actually see it.
Called Yuba City Mazda, they told me it is listed with 'sport suspension' 'cruise control' and the 5 speed. Guess I'll have to wait and see.

Call Mazda, provide VIN and get specs.

Do not want. A torsen is the one reason I'd upgrade to a NB.

Came expecting models. Thread did not deliver.

Did, they weren't much help. See above post.

What info are you looking for? If you click the VIN in your post it says which rear end and stuff it has in it...

post some up then :giggle:

I was not aware of this feature. It does have power everything, along with cruise. 5 speed manual, I didn't check the diff. I just tossed it on the lift and checked for leaks really quick since I was on the clock. I left a deposit and I'm going to pick it up in a few minutes for $6500. It's very clean, owned by a lady in her 60's who bought it new. She smoked though... it stinks. Time to google how to kill that horrible stench. Any tips...?

Double post.

Bitch gone ask me to come with her to grocery shop
I told her straight up like this, "no siree bob! "
That's not my job, I don't do that!
I'm a pimp-slash-rapper, I thought you knew that

well i'll be, an old lady.

you will just have to leave the top down and let it air out forever....

6500 out the door? well done!

not bad. rip out the interior and bathe it in stuff that rids of odor. and the seats.
smoker interiors are the worst. on the up side you probably have one of the least molested cars ever

Everything went smooth.. I did spend 20 minutes with her and her husband trying to up-sell me on how great the wheels were and how they even had new tires!! Haha, I need wheels bad.. Do you guys think they are worth craigslistin'?

Done. Vanessa Hanson, model and occasional UFC "Ring Girl". I'd eat this chick with a spoon.

Oh, and nice deal on that car. That's a free hardtop all damned day.

are you trying to flip it already? LOL
2003 Mazda Miata LS mx5 low miles

8800:bowrofl:

Lol put it up for s&g's. Expecting people to low ball me. Already have a couple shitty trade offers and someone offered me $7000 w/o hardtop. I might have the hardtop sold. I have a feeling I'm gonna get wheels and tires with hardtop money and drive it till tax season is in full effect. :hustler:

I have someone who wants it for $8000. Let it go or keep it and throw some wheels, tires, suspension on it and drive it for a while?

Well, do you want a Miata, or do you want to make $1500?

If I were in your shoes I'd sell in a second. No question.

Then come buy my GTO :P

TAKE THE SURE THING MONEY.

Pinky's Rules For Financial Success #127: Take the goddamned money.

You're welcome.

For any job, you want to make sure you exceed your personal hourly rate.

To determine this rate

1) estimate a comfortable annual salary
2) divide by the number of hours in a work-year (40 hrs/wk * 52 weeks = 2080 but round to 2000) or simply
3) multiply by two for a better "billable rate" estimate.
4) skip all that and just estimate the salary and lop off 3 zeroes.

example: 200,000 salary

200 / hour billable

if you spent less than 7.5 hours of actual work time to flip that car, you're ok.

if you never drop below 200 dollars per hour of work, you're doing well.

20 minutes in text conversations. 30 minutes buying the vehicle. 10 minutes picking up and dropping off at smog shop. 30 minutes cleaning vehicle. Along with a hypothetical 30 minutes selling vehicle, for a hypothetical $8000, would equal $735 per hour. That's with a $30 smog factored in.

herp derp sell the car

Lol I plan on it at this point. Spending the weekend with the pops for his B-day, hopefully I can squeeze in some time to let Joe Blow and John Doe test drive it.

:dealwithit:

I hope that's photoshop.

So far I've been the typical Craigslist flake and I haven't met up with anyone that's interested. Have been super busy and people want to meet at inconvenient times.
The car is slowly growing on me because it is so quiet and tight compared to all my other Miatas. Got some super stance drift rims with brand new Ecsta Ast's for $200; they are approx. 10lbs lighter per corner than the chrome boat anchors. I'm considering just driving it in all of its open diff glory until l I get my tax return, then become more serious about selling it. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1391022730
