There is something special about this car. Alleges RUST FREE 92. All you folks down south keep glancing over what may be truly special about this car. Find us for $3k an NA with no rust in Chicagoland? If you cheat and buy down south, $3k must include cost of transportation.

Good luck!

its really hard to buy cars out of state. impossible acutally.

consider i priced my 91 at 4,500 a few month ago.

LOL $3k != $4500. But thanks for all you do Brain.

Forgot to say, yes, I agree with folks, it's not worth $5000. But, $3500 to maybe $4000 if it's clean inside/out + 6SPD seems worth it to me around here.

i was thinking its a cleaner version of the way i bought mine +a 6 speed. i would pay 3500-4000 for it and expect to put another 1-2k to get it were i should be.

yea its not the 1.8 for sure, but if your going for just fun on the cheap its not that bad. besides your still running one.

red is thinking along the same lines as me. As for a 1.6L. What's wrong with a lightly boosted 1.6L for tooling around town?

The real issue for me is. I got the money, but the CFO of the house says No No No. She wants to know WHY I NEED two miatas and none of my reasons are compelling enough. I tried the Aaron has two approach. That didn't work.

tell her she gets one. not the boosted one.

Tried that, she said, "I don't want a miata!" That one stung a bit. I know I should have traded her for that clean roller in ATL.
