Are NC Miatas hitting the $5k range yet?

In reply to penultimeta:

Driven an NC auto? They are 6-speed just like the manuals, only they shift faster and it rev matches on the downshifts. Jus' sayin' they aren't all that bad for a fun summer time cruiser.

Plus an automatic with its torque multiplication combined with a supercharger and/or a 2.5L swap could make for a pretty potent combo.

True, but i'd feel pretty weird about replacing a manual Cherokee with an automatic Miata.

But i think i've learned that "No, they have not gotten that cheap."

In reply to Swank Force One:

Considering the traffic I have to deal with when I commute, an automatic makes sense for my needs. Plus autocrossing an auto is easier, IMO.

I wouldn't buy a NA or NB Miata with an auto since they are 3-speed units and the engines are small enough that you need the extra gears.

I have. I'm just patently (and probably pathologically) averse to automatic anything.

There's not many NC's for sale around here at any price but, aside from that, the NA and NB prices seem to be a lot lower than they were this winter. Weird.
