Sorry man. He should pay for the loaner.
I've had a similar experience. I was traveling down to Sw Va to take a look at a 1st gen Ninja. Sold it already. It sucks.

Eh. I have my heart set on a convertible and I don't really want to spend more than $4500 or so

I'm more annoyed than angry. Of course now I'm definitely not going out of the city to get a miata, so it might be a while...

Keep in mind, a Civic owner just said:

"Wu-uuuh?"

Fair enough though.

What's your budget? I may be able to be convinced to let go of my 97 STO if the price is right. 165k miles.

You're the one who sniped that! Remember the two guys that showed up in the black sonic? That was me.

I'm going to wait until next spring I think, by then I should have a house with another spot in the garage. Are you planning on holding onto it for a while?

So that was your Sonic! Pretty nice car I thought. Haha, I had a feeling it was you when you mentioned you were looking for a miata. That's why I asked what model year, didn't want to be the guy that made you drive 2 hours. The car is def worth the $3500 the guy was asking. I'm planning on keeping it until I find something better, which may take from a few days to a few weeks. Nothing longer than a few months though, usually. I had the WRX for four months and the Colorado for three. I'm now looking for a S2000 or a 350z.

Well, if you still have it by next spring, I'll buy it from you.

I actually tried to get a friend to do something like that: buy a Miata now, drive it/own it for a few months (he has a 2 car garage), and then when I buy a house I'd buy it off of him.

You should definitely bring it to the car shows at central and west when they start up again. A bunch of the wichita oppos are planning on meeting up there.
