I got contacted by a friend about a Miata, I wasn't really thinking about getting one, but this might be too good to pass up. It's a 1990, 88,000 miles, garaged, original owner passed away and his widow is clearing out. What do you guys think.

Not long enough if using the word "considering."

I can't see the pictures because the computer I'm using is kinda sto0pid, but I can't see how you could pass up a low mileage 1990 that spent its life, apparently, making a garage look nice and its owner happy.

Off-topic for a second, JohnRW1621, is that your car in your avatar?

The deceased owner read "The Last Open Road". You have to buy this car and continue the legacy.

Seriously, if you've never had a Miata do it. You won't regret it. From the pictures it looks pretty nice in that silver colour.

One owner garage kept NA with less than 100k miles, in silver. If you dont buy it you'll probably be banned from the forums.

No, the GT40 is not mine, just a picture I thought was cool so long ago that I no longer remember how I got it.
I do have a '90 Miata that I think I will keep.
I have had it for 21 years now.

Last year:
A GRM driveway:

Note: for this picture, all the front bumpers were lined up. Mazda5 and 325is are the same length.

Yeah you'd better go get this. I don't even know why you made a post about it that wasn't "hey guys I'm divorced now but look Miata vroom vroom?"

I'm almost entirely over my miata ownership after a year and I still think you should jump on this.

Start it and watch the crank pulley. If said pulley does not wobble, then I can't think of any good reason why you shouldn't buy that Miata.

A silver '90 is kind of rare, too. Most were red or white, and then you had your Mariner Blue, which is indisputably the coolest Miata color ever.

I did not look at the pictures or read past "Miata" or read any posts, but I can reliably say that yes, you should do it.

Buy it. If you don't end up loving it, sell it here. One of us will buy it from you.

Do it now! That silver is pretty uncommon. And it's clearly a well kept weekend car.
