CAR is SOLD.

I have a 2004 Mazda Speed Miata that I am going to sell.  (phone at bottom of post)

  • Bad points first:
    • Probable blown head gasket - due to overheating.
    • Fans don't work. (my bad for not realizing this was happening) - 
    • Probably needs the whole engine "refreshed".
    • Rebuild the turbo while you are at it. (this is the cheapest thing on the list)
  • Good Points
    • Never wrecked.
    • All original (except a past owner lost the Masdaspeed Oil inlet  cap and replaced it with a standard black one)
    • Top is new and was professionally installed.  Its been garaged continuously.
    • Brand new Good-Win Racing oversize radiator
    • Stoptec brake pads all around - with less than 1000 miles on them
    • Interior is not ripped up but its from 2004.
    • I have a few extra parts to throw in like a set of stainless brake lines, extra steering wheel, original gas cap (P.O. replaced it with a chrome one.) I also have the idler pulley and parts to delete the power steering pump (but not a manual rack)
    • Recently had the original starter rebuilt.
    • Paint is in good shape.  Previous owner had the hood re-sprayed with the correct Velocity Red paint (expensive stuff because it has gold flakes in it)

It needs to be taken away on a trailer or flatbed.  It starts but you cannot really drive it.

I am unfortunately too old  and arthritic to fix this myself and the local guy I planned to use decided there was more money in converting NC's to 2.5 liter engines than doing engine rebuilds in NA and NB models.  

 

  • I'm thinking $4000.       
  •  PM me if interested.
  • Car is in Houston, Texas.

I want this so badly I can taste it but you're 1200 miles from me and I have too much going on right now. Ughhhhh
