New guy looking for a Miata
Hey all. New to miatas but not new to the car scene...
Just a brief history about myself.. been a Lexus guy all of my driving years and i love them to death. I enjoy the Lux life but then again do not enjoy the gas prices... Owned a SC400, Supercharged GS400, and a second Supercharged GS400. lol...
anyways so im looking for a miata, more specifically Mazdaspeed Miata MX5...
and i found one local but i need some guidance.
Specs on the car..
Bone Stock 2004 MSM with 91k miles on it.
Exterior is rated at a 6.5 outta 10
Interior is rated at 7.5 outta 10
Engine is unknown since i did not test for compression n what not but it feels ok. not as fast as my previous cars but ehh.
Issues:
-Car has 91k miles and owner purchased from Auction (most likely to flip)
-Maintenance logged up until 50k but beyond that is unknown
-most likely will need ALL major maintenance done
-All fluids needs to be replaced
-Possibly clutch will need to be replaced in the near future
-door lock does not work? (actuator maybe)
-minor paint scruff front bumper
-speaker on driver door doesnt work (from what i hear)
The car drives fine from what i felt.. Drives its age. Have to drive it again to see since i only took it for a small spin...
What do you guys think is a good asking price?
oh n heres my past car.

The asking price was 8.5k. Figure giving him a reasonable offer to offset the cost of maintenance n repairs would be fair.
Reason why im looking for a miata is because my GS recently got T-boned at the intersection. Figure its time to try a new brand out... also kinda got tired of 19 mpg highway.
