Is it worth it? (1991 Miata)
The father of a guy I work with has a 1991 Miata that has been sitting for a few years. The price started at around $2000, but now he is asking only $1500. It's a red w/ hardtop (seems almost worth it just for that, as they are rare around here), I'm pretty sure it runs, but he has said it has a lot of small issues, not sure in detail exactly what. Apparently the interior is decently clean. Does the price of $1500 sound reasonable for what I think will essentially be a parts car? I think I could probably resale parts and make a little money off of it, if I feel like it. Or should I haggle him lower?

.....no. I guess it's a no brainer then. I do want the HT, and it is already red, so it'll match. And the paint is probably as bad as mine, so condition wise, the paint will match in that way as well. I'm tempted to do a 1.6 dash swap as well. I like the shelf look of the 1.6 dash over the 1.8 dash. Then there are a few various trim pieces I need for the interior. Yeah, I'll do it, even though I wasn't planning on buying a car any time soon, for driving or parting, or in any way. I'll let you guys know how it pans out. If it's in decent shape, I may keep it in one piece and get it cleaned up and try to make a little profit by selling it as a whole driving car.
