It's been someone's summer car which is what i want it for.

Right time of year to buy.

Do I blow nine grand on this or just wait for Obama to take my cash instead?

She had the original body style...my first car was an Austin Healey and she's younger than me...when I got my license I used to take her on drives up and down the Blue Ridge Parkway...down shifting...drafting...peeling out in 3rd gear...that kinda stuff...anyways she said that this was almost like driving in that car. I go on vacation in FL to visit (I was living in that frozen winter wonderland called Meechigan at the time) and we go for a spin...sure enough...it was like that car. She survived a front end collision with a semi in that and walked away from a totaled out mess and bought the newer style that you have, those MF'ing Mazda engineers took the fun out of it.

You can't get the backend to pull around in that car to save your soul!

Still...fun car...wish I had one right now!

9K for that sounds like a great deal...but only if its a convertible!

Actually, give him NOTHING!

PS; I know alot about sales in general the only book that comes close is the dealers Black book and the Manahiem auction reports..

KBB says the price is good if it is but both edmunds and KBB says its high if its not.

Their estimates are based upon where you live so your pricing may be different then mine.

If I can get it for $7500 I may bite.

Well it is for my wife but I am pretty sure I will steal it whenever I can. I think heading out of the city with the top down, wind in my hair (what's left if it) a song on my lips as I smoke a good cigar driving home sounds good.

No?

Prepare for a bit of a learning curve as you start smoking cigars with the top down. Not impossible, but can be a bit of a challenge. try it with the windows up at first.

I drive a Mustang GT convertible - (when the GF lets me drive her car -- as I own a spectacularly chittty sedan). Experienced some pretty bad canoes at times, and ashed the heck ouf of that car. I do think it will be a blast - until your friends see you.... 🙂

Figured, chump!

I used to rent converts when I traveled to Florida and you know, you're right, ash city. Forgot about that.

May have to get her a new deck instead at least the ashes would drop down instead of fly all over!

When you buy a Miata, do you have to have a full blown operation, or do the mandatory estrogen pills do the trick?

And before you say that it's OK for a dude to drive a Miata, remember that would be like saying a Subaru owner isn't a lesbo.

Hey, I don't make the rules...

I'm pretty sure the small seat just cuts off circulation to the boys, allowing nature to do the work. Kind of like how a guy's midsection automatically expands to fill the extra room that comes with an extended cab.

So they're like mopeds.

And fat chicks.
