!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (!) Miata with matching hardtop.
Salvage title, 220k miles, donk wheels, ad decals on hood, trunk, bumpers, and doors.
Price: 2k$ (that's with the hardtop!)
I could easily sell off that hardtop for an easy 1k$ and part the Miata for another 1.5-2k$ easy. God, if I had the money to purchase it right now...
Anyone want to combine cash, purchase car, sell/part, and split the profits?

Why break it apart when you can sell the top and wheels and run that sucker in lemons

Not horrific but with the salvage title I think you only come out about even on this.

How hard do you think the decals would be to take off? More importantly, I wonder how different the paint colors would be under the stickers compared to the rest of the car.

Heat gun and about 1 hour of heating and slowly peeling them off. On the downside, it's sunny South Carolina so who knows. On the flipside, Mazda gave those cars 3 coats of yellow so it should be easy to buff and polish out.

Miata friend of mine chatted and we think the owner is a female who doesn't actually know how much that car is worth. Mazda only produced about 500 manual and 400 auto Sunburst Miatas with hardtops. Hell, minus the top, the car could be resold for 1.8k$ instantly.

sounds like one of you needs to pick this up and flip it for sure.

Possibly but I think I can do better than that. I could probably resell the car for 1.8k$ minus the hardtop and it'll still be bought up by some college student needing a beater car. If I go the parting method then the possibilities are even better, the engine and trans alone are worth a cool 800$ together, if it has a LSD in it then that's worth 500$ on the spot, etc.

I'm heavily tempted but I'm short on cash. I could dip into college funds but there's a blatant risk with that method if this car blows up in my face. Right now I'm working with my friend's friend who's looking for a cheap beater Miata. My plan is for him to buy the car and then I buy the hardtop off him instantly for 550$ and quickly flip that for 1k$ alone the very next week.
