Odd that the pic with the damage is blurred compared to the rest of the pictures

What's laying on the passenger seat in the one photo? How's the soft top/rear plastic window?

Looks like it needs a VC gasket too. :) Is there plastic over the pass window?

No body damage will post better pic of that side. That is the window cover on seat for the driverside window. It has 105k on it. I have not looked at soft top the po said it always had hardtop on it

Those are the proper wheels for the '96 M and '97 STO.

i wouldnt be surprised he seemed more interested in the hardtop than anything else......i knew i should have put a "help me thread up for pricing a miata"

Eh, the hardtop takes it from a good deal to a GREAT deal. If this thing's any count at all, though, it's going to be my new daily driver and the HT will stay with it.

Now I just have to get to Pittsburgh....

I don't think so. I think that it was well bought but not a steal. The hardtop, with a solid resale market thanks to spec miata and track events, is a $600-800 piece. This car looks rougher than a lot that you post. There is a decent chance that it will need a top or a window if it's been down and perma-creased. Then there's the radiator, side window, rust bubbles, etc. I don't mean to be down on the car and I looked and was kicking myself for missing out on another of your cars. Decent NA's can be had for $2-3k, so with the time and work needed this will still be a good buy but I think it was pretty fairly priced.

Remember this is the home of people that worship that car and think that it is the answer to everything. You will always get disproportionate interest if you post a cheap Miata here. Who am I kidding, I've had 4 and looking for another one....

Just a heads up, SWMBO has decreed there will be a hardtop with our next miata. You find anymore of em, especially at this price point. You will always have at least one buyer. I just know that I have a window, and brand new radiator here. I was seriously looking for plane tickets when you posted it was sold.

Between this statement and those 6 series you seem to find, you'll be the death of me...
