I posted about my Aunt's Miata and it was suggested to go on BaT, and so it is:

Congratulations, Javelin!

Hope to read in a future issue of Classic Motorsports how this was "well sold".

We'll see. I think the car is in an awkward spot. It's not low enough mileage to be museum quality, it's too stock (and the wrong year and package) for most enthusiasts, it's not a rare spec or color, and it doesn't have A/C which scares off the Sunday drivers. At least it's a manual.

Bidding seems strong with an hour to go.  I'm curious what the reserve is. 

Yeah... the lack of A/C would be a deal-killer for me were I in the market.  I'm over here in PA trying to figure out how to add A/C to two cars that never had it.

I just tried to go look for the old thread to see what kinda guesses GRM had. It seems like I can find the thread but then I cannot go to the thread?

Yeah I had to delete the thread for BaT to list it. They don't like having their cars for sale anywhere else.

Considering the hard top could be considered $2,500 of that, I feel like that's every bit of an $8,000 Miata these days. 

Congrats on getting it sold.
