I'd prefer the coil packs at this point tbh
All fixed with UIDS!

I feel like I need one more convertible before the DMV stops renewing my license but I can't decide on what to buy.

I almost traded my civic for a Miata about 15 years ago and I still regret not doing it. Still haven't had a chance to drive one either

I had a 1.8 base model with steel wheels, no AC and no power steering I bought for $400 in college. Wish I never sold it but as goes the story.

BTDT. The Miata was hands down one of the most fun cars I've ever owned but I don't really see another one in my future.

I found the Miata very similar to my AE86 Corollas. But the Corolla despite being older had more creature comforts and, to me, looked better.

You're late to the party. I featured his car a month ago when they were asking $22.5K (now THAT was a deal).

https://firstflatsix.com/paid-featur...6-carrera-6sp/

Someone over there must have caught wind of the post because a good follower of mine went out to buy the car and was hit with the price change and "It's a 99, its rare, which is why we raised the price".

Anyway, they refused to take a dime under the ask. And when adding in Tax, tags, IMS/Clutch/misc, tires and non poverty spec wheels your all into this thing for $33K+. Which isnt quite the value prop it was when it was $5K cheaper.

@lnengineering know about this one??? White/Grey with ambers, NO TC & NO OBC? Plus the lightest wheels ever bolted to a water cooled 911

Clean CarFax too, could be 100% orig paint who knows worth a look??

Look at Hagerty’s price curve on 1999. $5K/mo is right there
