Yeah I would get the 99+ model. I personally think the earlier models are ugly and those flip up head lights suck. I don't know about up there, but down here people wan't $3k+ for an early 90's model.

I like the non pop-up headlights a lot better. That one you posted is actually pretty damn nice.

On another note, not that it matters, but you CAN find them for cheaper....(local to me)http://kpr.craigslist.org/cto/1589230131.html

I'm well aware, but when they sell for less they aren't optioned out like this car or paint is rough or its rusty or a million other things.  This car was a clean '99 with every option other than power door locks and special order black leather seats.  It's not a true selling point to me, but the leather, bose, AC, power everything, ect ect ect made it a nicer car than otherwise.

i used to kinda want a miata.  rwd. built to handle well.  then i figured out people are making 500rwhp stock motor w/ headstuds in 92-95 bmws also rwd and handle well  and you dont look like a fagot in your convertable going to pick up your boyfriend.  and you can pick em up for 1500 or more for a nice one

Yeah instead you look like a fagot taking your BMW in for repair every month and bumming a ride off your "friend" with the Miata.

Miatas are like Del Sol's they are only cool if they have some power and a some pretty things on the exterior. That said Id rock it but only with the sole intention of turbo'ing it or swapping it.

Thats a clean car. Id hit it.

I kinda like the OBD1 3 and 5 series, too, but there's a reason why the same year Miata in not quite as nice shape sells for 1.5 to 3 times more.

Del Sols are never cool, and pretty exterior means nothing.  You are a faggot.  Go flirt with n/a michael some more.

I'm going to offer the guy $5000.  I found someone about 30 miles away with a black hard top, so I think it's meant to be.

Do it, the hard top looks so much better on those cars.

Hard tops are just better.  The only downside is the 60lbs they add in weight.  I don't think I'd ever bother taking out the rag top, otherwise I'd probably save about 150lbs by just running the hard top.

Who gives a shit about the 60lbs when they look so much better.  Add 10lbs to the motor and you'll never even notice the extra 60 lbs.

Some people are nuts and add the hard top so they can remove the convertible assembly.  You've never interacted with those crazies?

I'd add it because it looks better and functions better.  All it takes is one jerk off with a key and you have a destroyed rag top, interior, and anything else they decide.  A hard top at least takes the temptation away.

Seller responded and said he doesn't want a cent less than $6000.  He's half ready to sell, half not.  I know money is the way to make him move one way or the other.  $5500 would probably make him think harder about things.  I probably should have asked to look at the car again and waved cash in his face.  I could go over with $5200 cash and see where he stands.  Seeing the cash might make him think twice.  I typically don't like showing up places with that kind of money though unless I'm definitely buying.

Maybe I should just wait out for a less expensive one.

I really like coupes.  Most are garbage or overpriced.  Miata is not.  I'm just not ready to throw $10k on a car, and what you get for $10k is still not worth it most of the time.

ya all the mid life crisis gay pride men are willing to pay top $ for them.  i went test drove a few once, always ended up meeting up with some girl or some guy that made me feel uncomfortable, and they felt junky for how much they wanted for em.   ive driven nice ones and there fun to throw around.  basicly fuck em cause they cost to much and this 250hp talk seems stupid, i dont turbo shit for 250hp anymore. probly why ihavent turbo anything a while  O0 hard top v8 miata = nothin gay about that
