WTB cheap Miata n/a $2kish
 
Wanting to buy a cheap Mazda n/a. Only have 2000 but can probably come up with up to 2500 if needed. I've been saving for a bit and want to purchase this as my first car.
Doesnt need to look good, can have hail damage whatever. Just needs to run good enough to get me back to Denver if possible.
Miatas here in CO are friggin 3500 for a 96 with 180k miles & a ripped roof. If anyone is selling one that'd be awesome
thank you

Good luck, I just did a quick look through searchcraigslist.org and they are all 3500 and above, country wide. in the winter. not sure why.

How soon do you need one? I have a 97 that I am putting back to naturally aspirated. Has around 140k on it. Paint on the front hood is faded and peeling. PM if you want more info.

How far would you drive?

Certainly not mint, but it runs and drives pretty well.

I would most likely find a cheap one way flight to wherever
Then take the local bus and get close to you
and then just immediately drive the car back home to Denver.
But it looks in pretty good condition & if you say it's running strong. is the motor 1.6 or 1.8?

dude, there is a Bell Autorotor equipped car with hardtop in the area for 3K. If I had the space I would be all over this thing.

https://boulder.craigslist.org/cto/5989563890.html

I ran this same autorotor (DIY) on my car last summer, it is a great piece. Granted this is a 1.6, but intercool/engine management it up and 200 hp is very much in the cards.

thumpetto007 02-10-2017 04:20 PM

^wow, great find.

looks clean, and already has the rollbar. I'd sell the hardtop and tool around in a 2000 dollar miata

thumpetto007 02-10-2017 04:21 PM

Also, it might just be the picture, and I am slightly colorblind, but that radiator looks brown to me, just a heads up, check it out in person, maybe its just dirt.

or swing by my house after picking it up and buy an Auto-trans rad for $30

thumpetto007 02-10-2017 04:45 PM

Nice! Seems like the mt.net community has done it again! OP is set up with his first miata!

ryansmoneypit 02-10-2017 05:02 PM

ridethecliche 02-14-2017 08:40 PM

Ted75zcar 02-14-2017 09:07 PM
