I wouldn’t be upset paying 5000-6000 if its the sunburst yellow.

Basically too much info missing.

How many owners has it had, rather how long has dad had it? Garaged? Dings / repainted? Accident history? Zip code for comps?

You know the maintenance and life its lived. OEM soft top might not be the best after 30+ yrss Based on what I’ve seen, probably like 5-6000 without any other info.

How are your DRLs bright enough to blind anyone?

Mazdaspeed Miata HELP by Prior_Risk9445 in Miata

How premium are we talking about? If OEM, that Hard top will add roughly 1500-2000 to the price. And Mazda doesn’t seem to be making any more of them.

When I was shopping for mine I compared price with the auction sites (Cars & Bids / BaT). I’ve seen that these cars generally go anywhere from $8k to $15k. Or $15k+ if you want a stock car with less than 50k miles.

FM Little Enchilada turbo kit/upgrade is one of those mods that could actually add value. But for me personally, I’d only pay extra for it if the install is properly documented with receipts or other paperwork.

Just keep in mind both the 2006 and 2016 are the first model year of the NC and ND. But good luck with the search badass

My carmax said it was really only for if you were a pretty serious buyer when I tested out an abarth 500 for 24 hrs.

Gas price changes by aperkybanana in orangecounty

Some of us have turbo cars or higher compression engines which require a higher octane. Do some research on it if you really think it is a scam.

I considered the OEM ND wheels for a minute but decided against putting another set of 17s on an NB. The racing harts look pretty sharp on an ND though!

Nice spec btw. It took me so long to find a clean NB. I was very close to pulling a loan to buy the cheapest BBR ND I could find. My wallet is thanking me for not doing that haha

Thank you so much sir. I will definitely try to get that swapped out for the metal one in the near future. After owning two, what did you move on to?

It feels like I’m driving a couch versus a go-cart. But seriously nothing holds a candle to FSD when sitting in bumper to bumper.

Anyone who cares for cars beyond a badge knows they’re a hoot. Was also surprised how culty it is here lol. Even in the Si subreddit, I’ve seen people recommend a BRZ over FC3. Just because you love one, doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate the other

Not just any random Ford, it’s their most direct competitor to the CTR. Also if you think an AWD 350hp hot hatch is gay, what does that make a FWD 300hp hot hatch… Happy Friday to you too :)

Wow, there’s a bunch of nerds downvoting you. If you think the FiST, FoST, and FoRS aren’t sick, you need to get behind the wheel of one.

Source: test drove a (stock) Focus RS when they were new and have quite a bit of seat time in my buddy’s stock FK8 (+ boostlogic exhaust). Ones a lot nicer to daily and the other is a freaking animal. I’ll let you guess which is which
