I bought this from the original owner, who had the car from late 1989 until February 2012, which is when I bought it. Since I have owned it, I have always garage kept the car. It has been my weekend/sunny day only car, so it literally hasn't seen rain in at least 2.5 years. The car runs and drives great. Engine runs well and doesn't skip a beat, no check engine light. The original owner said the clutch was replaced at around 110k miles, but I don't have the receipt to show. However, I don't doubt it, as the clutch is great. Transmission shifts very smooth, as it should. The top is in outstanding condition. It's not original. I'm not sure how old it is, but it's very solid and looks great. The interior is also in great shape. Drivers seat isn't ripped, dash is solid. Even the radio surround bezel is in one piece, I replaced it myself when I bought the car. I bought the car with a broken rear end. I replaced it with an open rear. I also changed the valve cover gasket, plugs and wires. I purchased a full set of cooling/heater hoses from Mazda, but have never installed them. The car does not leak any coolant at all, but I was going to change them as preventative maintenance since I don't know how old they are. Timing belt is in good shape, replaced by previous owner. As for "negatives" on the car...the rear shocks are done. They need to be replaced. The car was in a hailstorm at some point, so the trunk and hood have hail dings. I don't care all that much, but it is what it is. It has normal Miata rocker rust starting on the drivers side. Passenger is much better. I've seen a lot worse on Miata, but it's there. I also have the original hard top that was purchased with the car by the original owner. It needs a repaint, but is in otherwise good shape. It is not included in the $2500 price. If you want it too, the price is $3100. I WILL NOT SELL IT SEPARATE FIRST, IF THE BUYER DOESN'T WANT IT THEN I'LL SELL IT AFTER THE CAR SELLS. The only reason I'm selling this car is I'm moving next weekend. I love the car, but I don't want to deal with shipping, etc...as I've got enough to deal with already. The car must be picked up by Saturday June 29th.
