WTB: Turbo Miata - Nashville Area
Looking for a turbo Miata in the Nashville area. I'd be willing to travel a reasonable distance, up to 200 miles or so. Also, I'd prefer a 94-01. Looking to spend $4k, but can spend a little more for the right car.

Just out of curiosity, how did you decide on that model year range?
|
I have a 2000 with a FM Stage II set-up. But I can't hit your price range.
|
^that seems to be the issue around here. The prices of even ratty nasty Miatas has skyrocketed. Not you, but a lot of these here's crush kids think way to highly of their ruined trash.
|
...$4k for a clean non-turbo 1.8 Miata with the right parts is a good price. Just sayin'.
Edit: Gold digger, do you have a FS thread posted here? If not... Do it. |

Anyway, I have two non-turbo NBs I'm looking at. Both owned by friends and both with fresh engines. One is a hair above $3k and a bit rough paint-wise, the other is stupid clean and $5k. We shall see which one wins in the end. |
Stupid clean and $5k for an NB is a good deal, particularly if it's got a torsen or any other goodies like a rollbar or whatever.

Seems fair to me. |
lol @ PBS. Professionally built with stock parts?
Still sounds like a very decent deal. |

The only mod you listed that's worth anything to a buyer is the built engine, and only if you have the paperwork to back it up. Perhaps the roll bar depending on what the buyer intends to use the car for.
Modifications are worth nothing because they are what you wanted on the car, not what the buyer wants and generally depreciate the value of the car. I believe this is why most people part out the mods and sell the car separate. |

Agreed, like I said it depends on the buyer's intended purpose for the car. I would venture to say that for most buyers, the mods are a turn off as you don't know who did the work. Documentation helps, but the more modified the car, the more specific the target audience.

Let's see. It's got 100k on the chassis, 2k on a fresh, professionally-built engine, Boss Frog Double Hoop, new top, new tires, TR Motorsports C3M wheels, Tein springs, Racing Beat axle-back, some JDM steering wheel, and a sweet S2000 push-button start :greddy:
Seems fair to me. Is this that one that was claiming some outlandish amount of power? Like 200hp+ or something? Anyways, i'd sell you a turbo Miata, but the price would be more than $5k, less than $9k. |

Pics? Haven't seen the red one up here. Do you know about the hot rod meets by the Belk shopping area during summer?

Pretty, at times I wish I had gone white. Went last year pretty often to get out. Sadly my buddy I went with is moving, so may find a new group. I'll let you know if I find out when the meets are. Being a hot rod group most the hella flush stay away.
