Miata? (question mark)

[AutobahnSHO]

I found a gorgeous white NA for $2200. But it's 3 hrs from here. I have Friday off....

But wife probably works. Should I get a tow dolly for Odyssey????

If it runs well and the body is straight (no rust) JUMP ON IT.

A little tasteful flourish can make a white NA look better...

Saw that one, and that's where I'd go.

Three hours aint no thang.

Worst case, go buy it, and then come back for it the next day or something.

That's kinda what I'm thinking, or go buy wire kit for trailer lights for Odyssey. I have a hitch but only used it for bike rack so far.

I drove to Boston and back in one day to get my truck.

White Miata is sold apparently- listing is GONE.

Sigh- the cheapest good manual I can find is $3900, but there's this one

Is 2001 the first year for second generation?

Looks like it may have been somebody's dedicated track/autox toy given all of the decals.  Pass.

Wait for a manual. The NA/NB autos are turds.

[AutobahnSHO]

Well, as I've pondered more and more on it, I'm throwing the unthusiast card.

We WILL be moving many states away next winter. Moving 2 cars is hard enough, one more would be a hassle. I don't want to keep looking and being disappointed, (i've been halfway tempted to look at the half dozen Sebrings for sale her under $2k ). I'll get a nicer fun car later.

Instead I'm going to get a small subwoofer for Odyssey and trampoline for family.

Looks like a poseur mobile that somebody took to an autocross once or twice.

Take the 2k you'd have spent on the car and put it in a conservative betterment account. When you're ready to buy it'll be MOAR

1999 was. NA (first gen) was 1990-1997 and since the second gen wasn't ready they waited until 1999.

Is 2001 the first year for second generation?

Man if you were near California and had I known, I would have sold you my 1997 Miata for cheap. I ended up getting rid of mine for for $1,200 because the fiancee didn't want a slow leaking Miata in the driveway and we were going on vaca the next week (paint wasn't good, parking brake never worked and the leak was due to a rear main seal that needed to be replaced but mechanically it was solid and the only rust was a few specs on the A-pillar).

[AutobahnSHO]

Sorry man
