The Carmax near me has a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . It looks well-cared-for, decently optioned, and has around 50K miles...not TOO bad for an 11 year old car. BUT...
They are asking $11,599. The often-wrong but good to check KBB says:
SO...WOW! It's nice, but at double the KBB price? So, am I missing something, or is this a crack pipe price?
(FYI: I'm not seriously looking yet, just getting a feel for the market).
Thanks for y'alls thoughts!
BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest.

1) It's at a CarMax, they upcharge like hell
2) That KBB price is crazy low. I paid $3200 for a '96 with 119k and with a some-assembly-required top and radio and that was about all I was getting at that price.
Overall, you're realistically looking at like 6 or 7 for that car. It's got too many miles to be a garage queen, and not enough to be a reasonable driver. You've basically added an upcharging middleman to buying a car from a retiree who wants 70% of what they paid new because it's SENIOR OWNED,,,,,

as an addendum, you will see two major groups selling NAs and NBs in 2014: twentysomethings and retirees selling their toys. The twentysomethings (like me) beat the shit out of these cars and will let them go for a song. The retirees don't drive them and think they're worth ~4k more than they actually are.
pick your poison.

KBB is way off when pricing Miatas especially. That's not a $5,000 Miata. It's about $6,000-$8,000 with that mileage. A Mazdaspeed Miata with that low of mileage will go for $11,000 though.
