I have owned this Miata for two enjoyable years. I am only selling to help finance/make room for a Boxster project (I know... from the practical to the impractical, regrets may be in my future). However I have a mechanical background and enjoy the work. Recent standard maintenance, and maintenance done to address common Miata NA issues include:
- New vinyl convertible top with zip out rear vinyl window (zip out gives a 3rd roof option). - 4 new SenSen gas shocks w/ new shock bumpers. - Synthetic gearbox fluid (Motorcraft @ $26 qt., recommended) - Shifter bushings rebuilt, trans. tunnel fluid changed, shifter rubber boots good.
- GL-5 synthetic differential fluid. - Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil and filter. - New fuel injector O rings and seals. - New cam sensor O ring. - New fuel filter. - New plugs, engine timing checked.
- Separate fuel pump relay upgrade done, including new main relay replaced. - Roof drains and front/rear rocker drains cleared.
- Previous owner stated he replaced timing belt and water pump at recommended 60k. - Previous owner replaced cat. with stainless steel resonator, also replaced stock air box with aftermarket air filter. - Previous owner also replaced stock radio with Kenwood CD/radio.
Full disclosure, known issues: - Has AC option but not working. Compressor clutch engages so assume it needs a recharge. Didn't really miss it.
- Interior very good with slight wear on driver seat bolster. Repaired with fabric glue outside, reinforced patch inside. See picture. - Paint very good with several very minor dings expected on a 26 year old car. - Touched up scratches on front/rear bumper paint, small crack on right front bumper. See picture. Scrapes underneath bumpers. - Two slight dings underneath on both frame rails from U-Haul ramps (low car), cosmetic damage.
- Headrest speakers option not working, aftermarket mini A pillar speakers installed. - Tires around 50% but good Contential ContiTouringContacts.
- Alloy rims currently on the car are not year correct. I will include a set of correct rims w/ tires, but tires have some uneven wear. - Both sets of rims are black plasti-dip spray painted but in good condition. - Does not have the ABS option. - Missing top boot cover.

Very low classic car insurance (certain conditions must be met), new and used parts readily available and reasonably priced, easy to work on, large on-line community for information and tutorials. Proven reliability. If used only as a weekend car, properly stored and cared for this low mileage 1st generation Miata will appreciate/hold in value as you enjoy it. If I had the space I would keep it.

Inspection encouraged, by appointment any time. Will respond to all questions. I have represented this used car to the best of my knowledge and it is being sold in as is condition with no warranty implied.
