Why buy a ND MX-5 Miata new?

When there’s a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! at a current bid of $200! The only downside is that it has a SC salvage title due to flooding, although judging by the looks of the clean interior, I think only the carpets might’ve gotten wet, if at all.

This could make for an awesome autocross toy or even a race car! Who cares about electronics when it’s all going to get ripped out and have a lightened wiring loom take its place?

I’ll need to know if it was fresh water flooding or salt water flooding.

Perfect candidate for a 2jz swap.

That interior color scheme is hideous though.

Depends. I know a guy who bought a Katrina flood damaged C5 Z06 that was able to drive back to Wisconsin. He’s then put around 30k on it on track. If you know what to look for, flood damage is fine.

For $200, why not? I’m loving the black/tan interior as well.

If it’s a track car then if it’s an electrical basket case you can just rewire the stuff you need.

This ND would suffice.

You gotta spend a lot of time to thoroughly go through the entire car to make sure nothing significant is damaged - no matter the cost.

Then you’ll have an awesome car for cheap.

Hey sorry for only bringing this up now the last few weeks have been hectic but if you’re still up for being the pace car at today’s race you can probably park in the run off area at the end of the first straight. There are off roads scattered across the track as well.
