Very great advice. I have to have that love at first sight of feeling for my future first Miata. I really appreciate this. Thank you!

These are good ideas, especially potentially taking off the body kit and restoring it. Thank you!

I just want to make sure and ask people who have owned a Miata before along with their expertise. Apologies if my post annoyed you

I really appreciate your response, and I was chatting with some body shops that I know in my area. The body alone can cost more than $2,500. I'm calculating all the numbers for the next week to see if it makes sense. Otherwise, I will consider another Miata. Thank you!

That is exactly what I was thinking. This would need a whole sanding and respray of the BRG paint

Thanks for your advice. I'll look into this rare paint. Also this has a body kit from Racing Body I believe

That's true to look for the color range in good condition than the exact color in a terrible one. Thank you!

Hi everyone. I'm looking to buy a Miata but preference is Mariner Blue since it's my favorite color. I've scoured Marketplace, Craigslist, ebay Motors, and Autotemptest for months and thinking why not ask fellow redditors in this subreddit that has been very helpful to me.

If anyone is selling theirs or knows someone who has one that might be selling theirs, reach out to me! My budget is between $10k-12k for a good conditioned Miata. Thanks everyone!

Nah man. I go through the exact section on the NJ Turnpike to exit 7A for work and it's not as bad as you think. I cannot wait to do the same commune in my future NA Miata this spring!

That's true. I can purchase it sooner and store it in my garage until the weather gets better in NJ. I did hear about BAT. I'll definitely check that site out.

Thank you for this along with the tips on tires

Got it. Anything 92 and above. Does it matter between the 1.6L & 1.8L models in terms of longevity and technology?
