<center><img src="http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/FathersDay_WhiteMiata_014a.jpg"></center><p>Not a bad deal...for some reason many people in NorCal think their miata's are worth a ton...I found several guys way over what I think is reasonable. I found two for over $4500 (1990 with 71 and 83K miles)...one listed for $5K..and sold for $4.5K. Another is for sale in Santa Cruz/Aptos for $4,650. KBB shows it as $2500 in excellent condition..I have no idea where the guy got the other $2K+.

I got this one for $2.1K. It should have a 1.6 engine..but it has a 1.8 instead. Mileage is 205K..but it doesnt feel like it..and the paint is very good. I would say it was repainted probably 2 years ago by a decent paint shop.

I think it may need a few things..like the A/C recharged...and maybe a new bigger radiator..but it should suffice for a commute car for my LONG commute to the train station of 6 miles. I hope this car doesnt attract undesirables...but you never know.

I was on the 378 tonight, last car at the north end of the train, closer to where I park when getting off the train.
