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!

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.

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.

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.
