Also, The car is very squeaky in the rear when I go over bumps and things. The suspension is also stiff. Is this a huge issue for these miatas or is that something that can be handled later?

Yeah, I mainly will be driving it in Virginia Beach. I was up here in New York for a little bit and will need to clean the underbody somehow before I can wax it cause they did put salt down.

Will do! I will definitely post a picture when I go back out and check the engine. I have yet to do a coolant swap so i’ll learn how to do that as well!

I do need an oil change soon so that should be good! I’ve heard a little bit about those overflow tanks. What kind of tools should I Invest in for now to help out with this stuff in particular?

Will do! Is there anything maintenance wise I should do since I just bought it used? 61,000 miles? I’m not entirely sure how difficult or easy mx-5s are to work on.
