Honestly never knew there was such a thing as a M Edition Miata. $5,800 for it and it only has 64,000 miles. Nice Price? Crack Pipe?

Awesome great price, on something not a crack pipe!

Actually? Probably nice price if the paint and interior have held up.

Yea? What was the difference between the base model and the M Edition Miata's?

I believe it was all trim stuff (not mechanical), and I know that the paint, color of hardtop, and a leather interior were specific to this limited run model. I think that they have wooden shift knobs, too. There's a full list here: http://www.miata.net/faq/miatase.ht… A certain Christopher Harris swapped his 599 for a M-Edition (albeit so he could figure out if he really didn't like the Miata, or if he was wrong) in a CHOC episode. I think they're awesome little machines. This is a pretty good price for any NA Miata in this condition. In Seattle, 75% condition base-trim examples go regulary for $4,500, and I'm not sure about your market, but this thing looks awesome. I'd go drive it.

Honestly, if the wife would let me, I would go get it. But alas she is the intelligent one who let me know that a weightless RWD hatch is 1. not good in the snow/ice for the 6 months of winter in Alaska, and 2. definitely not going to baby. Much less double baby in the near future.

The M had fancy stitching on the seats along with a different colored interior. They only came in this montego blue and had those polished wheels. You also get a nardi wood shifter and e-brake handle. The only unfortunate thing is that steering wheel. I really don't like the NA steering wheel. Its a nice price for a car. I'm sure in Alaska the Miata market is completely different, but as long as there is no rust that looks like a nice NA to get if there is rust, run away from it. At 64,000 your at the factory recommended timing belt change which can be put off for a while, you got to love non interference motors. You may be able to use that as a bargaining tool.
