The time has come
 
Well i told you guys that i couldnt get the s2k and that i was on a low buget. I was just lookin at craigslist and i found a good shape and running miata. I fell in love and he only wants 2200 without the hardtop. What you guys think?

im not sure of miata market prices so if you haven't, do some research. go on miata.net and look up any problems areas to look for as well. good luck! hope you get one.

how many miles does it have? I recommend having a tech check out the car with you in person. Also having it up on a lift so you can see whats going on under it as well.

it may have been in an accident ... front end has fresh paint while rear is very faded ...

O wow i just realized that. i gotta email him and ask him the miles and if the title is clean

just be carefull with the 1990 miata the short nose crank can be a bitch and goes easily. my friend is throwing a newer 1.6 longnose in his car as we speak. i like it.

I miss mine :(

Yeah my friend picked up an NA1 91 and he got the ones right after they switched from the short nose crank which seemed to have tons of issues. Also make sure they don't vibrate when driving. Read also that they can have some bad vibrating issues which are really hard to pinpoint for some reason or hard to fix something like that.

brooklyns2k 04-14-2009 09:44 PM

damn that sucks. It doesnt even show the miles. Thats why im gettin a little worried

9KGHOST 04-15-2009 06:04 AM

brooklyns2k 04-15-2009 12:35 PM

I just called the guy with the miata and he didnt pick up!

brooklyns2k 04-16-2009 08:58 AM

what you guys think about this?

http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/cto/1115291857.html

Miata is a great car. I would reccomend getting it for a first car, not super powerful, wishbone all around, RWD. You can learn alot with it and it would be very easy to turn into a track monster down the road.

Go for a miata!! Would be much more fun imo.

brooklyns2k 04-16-2009 09:43 AM

The guy dont pick up his phone

9KGHOST 04-16-2009 09:47 AM

I think the coupe looks a lot better with a S13 front coversion...only my opinion tho...dont go by me... :thumbup:

9KGHOST 04-16-2009 09:48 AM

But, I agree with everyone on here...get the miata...bside later on your goind for the F20 swapped anyways...you have a perfect candidate there...

9KGHOST 04-16-2009 09:54 AM

dude...might have something that you would what...

http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/1124751291.html

pretty cheap...needs a little work...

Moddiction 04-16-2009 10:39 AM

That one is sweet. With like a grand into it you'll have sweet Miata. Very cheap too and the guy seems to have most if not all the parts needed to get it running 100%
I say check that one out! 95 too which is a plus.

he says he's negotiable also, so you could probably get him down to like $1200

Maybe worth a look. :shrug:
I can help you out with the brakes :hello:

9KGHOST 04-16-2009 10:56 AM

Dude...if its close by me since I live in Jersey City...I'll swing by and take a look at the car...you owe me tho...heheh...j/p bro...
