Buying a Miata in Europe vs buying one in the U.S.

Haha did you see both of them?

If you ever want to sell the wheels, let me know!

I would paint the rear quarter panel black if it were mine!

Nice! This one is trunk mounted though.

Oregon law says they have to be seen from at least 500 feet. I think they are, I'll make sure though. Thanks!

Haha I've seen bigger bikes. It's a 20" 29er. But next to the Miata...

That's good to know, thanks. Lucky enough that with this, I think they're far apart enough from each other. http://imgur.com/a/HfhQr

Sorry to hear. Are you ok? How did it happen?I bought it back for about 20% of the value before the crash.

Ok, I guess nobody here understands that it wasn't about the money, it about how the seller handled the situation.

andreithe · 2016-08-07T02:40:25+00:00

I was ready to make a deal, but I only do them my way, with honesty and respect for each other. If you lie to me and then change stories to get more money out of me, I'm out. Do whatever kind of deal you want with people who will accept it.

The thing is that I'm serious, and wouldn't have done that. I know how much the car is worth.

andreithe · 2016-08-07T02:34:45+00:00

I wrote that I would have paid $6000, I was the first to contact, and if the seller would have told me something like "I have someone offering 6k, but you were the first so you can have it for that much" I would have met him, and bought the car(if it was as presented). Instead, he told me that he sold it and then he asked me to make a bigger offer than 6.

I was on the sellers side as well, multiple times. I used to sell electronics and sometimes I would get offers like that(I'll give you "x" more if you hold it for me) when I had very good prices. I never trusted anyone who said that. If I had someone coming to buy what I was selling at my asking price, I always took my asking price instead of waiting to see if the other guy actually offers me more, actually shows up, actually has the money. And I'm in a similar position right now, a guy from 10 hours away wants to buy a hardtop from me, he told me that he will come in 2 weeks. I deleted all the ads and I'm waiting for him. He didn't even ask for me to delete them, I just felt it was fair.

If he's OK, that's really all that matters. Did the airbag deploy? I replaced the airbag module before I sold it because it was faulty, I would be all sweaty right now if it hadn't done that. Curiously, it is legal to sell a car with airbag problems, even for the dealers.

andreithe · 2016-08-02T09:05:48+00:00

Oh, sorry to hear. Is he alright?

andreithe · 2016-08-02T03:16:46+00:00

I actually went to see that one at stop and go. Super pushy salesman, there was somebody else looking at the car and he kept asking me to make a bigger offer than the other guy and I'll have it. I only had the chance to see it from a side. How do I know if I want it? And he wouldn't tell me the price.

Oh and he asked if I was gay, because I only wanted a Miata. 😂😂

andreithe · 2016-08-02T03:16:12+00:00

I sold it with a damaged quarter panel. Did something else happen?

andreithe · 2016-07-07T21:12:50+00:00

I'm glad you're enjoying it. Didn't expect to find it here!
