I found a miata for sale and I am going to go buy it or not tonight. It is a 99 with 160k on it. Sounds like it has been kept in pretty good condition the current owner has had it for 4 years and it is $3k.

What do you guys think?

I paid $2500 for my '91 and I'm still spending money on it . Sounds like a good price to me.

99 is one of the better years.

I would probably buy that sight unseen.

I've got a '99 with accident damage. If it was the right color, I'd consider a $3,000 '99 just for the replacement parts.

That's a little less than I'm asking for my '96, but mine isn't stock and has less miles.

I got it!

99 with matching hard top!

has a few issues that need to be cleared up but not too bad, needs a good going over.

What issues does it have? Hard to go wrong at that price.

so far from the ride home

new rotors

seals and tb service

new window regulators, although i am thinking of doing a manual window conversion

something is going on with the clutch, i was in 1st with clutch depressed at a stop light waiting and 1st gear engaged while i had the clutch depressed assuming that is a master cylinder and/or slave issue

might need some suspension work, well i hope it does so i can get FM 2.5

Slave cylinders are a common point of failure. I'm a bit jealous, I kind of want an NB.

$3000 with hardtop? Damn, you hit the jackpot on that one. Deal of the decade.
