This is what a $400 Miata looks like
 

I'm documenting the trailer build on my website. In case anyone is curious, here are a few pics from the first day:

i bought this Miata for $500 http://www.miatamx5.com/red94number5/

holy crap! That Miata is toast!

paul: Is that your website? I'd been looking at some of the projects documented there, especially the heatshield you made.

yeah man, my $400 miata that i am hoping to get has just had a new motor (someone bent the crank snout) and a new blue paint job

haha that is rough, but it should be fine for what your doing

intact airbag = negative cost miata!

you mean the airbag is worth that much?

jeez, you're almost not kidding.

Man I dont think mine was that bad.

DANG! I need to get mine out of my parent's garage and put it on Ebay!

Looking at that guys prices makes me sick. But in a good way. I have a parts car with tons of good low mileage parts on it. By his prices (look at his other items) I have about $6000 worth of misc crap. lol.

That guy never gets any buyers because his prices are so high. Driver's airbags tend to sell for between $10 and $80. If they have the steering wheel attached, they sell for more.

whaat

I never sold any under $100.

I want a $400 miata.

Looks like a deal for what you're doing. I don't see any rust on the outside... should clean up fine.

Thanks for getting my hopes up for about 15 seconds!

Winning bid = $9.99

My dumb ass was just saying that I never find any good deals. I passed up on a $350 Miata with a bad crank a few months ago. Ended up going for $1700 on ebay. I told myself that I would not make that mistake again...

heh, sorry, wrong decade/model year I guess... maybe if you sell the pax side with it as a set?

still, I think after you strip and part out and clean out the change from under the carpet, you wont have spent more than a few bucks on it net-net.

That is from that DOUCE up in Land-O-Lakes - All his shit is overpriced.

Some people say that if you deal with him local you can get better pricing but I am skeptical.
