Description:

The stories I could tell, the fun times I've had, the corners I've hugged, the sunsets I've shared, the road trips I've enjoyed in this car. This Miata is an absolutely wonderful car to drive, especially with the top down. The car is quick, handles extremely well, and is just plain fun and sporty.
The car has almost 158, 000 miles, and got a new paint job in 2011 following a rear-end collision. The car received a new trunk and rear bumper following the wreck.. The leather seats were re-upholstered and are almost like new. The interior is in great condition with a few minor scratches on the interior door handles. I have the original mats, although the driver's mat is worn.
The Miata does has some dings and scratches, but comes with a small bottle of paint from the last paint job. Body defects include a small dent on the trunk hood, and a few dings on the front bumper.
Paint on the front bumper is not perfect as someone backed into it at a low speed, but did enough to bend the plastic. EThe lower front lip also was recently cut but a piece of metal I could not avoid on the highway. The convertible frame is also bent. The convertible, which has a cut, needs new latches and strike plate to drive with the top up/on. Otherwise, the car fits together perfectly, and the minor scratches don't take away from the beauty of this car.
The engine has an oil leak that requires new head gasket. New master cylinder installed two years ago, but the clutch sometimes pops out of first if clutch is held down without holding the stick in gear.
I would love to keep this car, but it is perfect for someone who knows how to fix and maintain it.
Windows need new fuse.
Tires are in great conditon.
I am sad to see this car go. We have had a great 6 years. I think the perfect owner for this car would be someone could work on the car themselves.
You will enjoy driving this car!
