9k for a 1st gen!?! This guy is on something far stronger than crack.

I'm curious about this one.

http://burlington.craigslist.org/cto/4199554600…

I haven't looked into the Limited's enough, but a cursory glance on cars.com shows Limiteds going for $10k-$19k, with the high end all being dealers.

This guy as an 'investment' Limited (bought it and stored in, only 2100 miles) that he has had on CL all year. The price has slowly trickled down, but not much, it's still at ~$20k.

At this price, aren't you taking a big risk on his storage capabilities? The thing has lived a sheltered life, and has been dependent on his ability to care for it as he waits for his 'investment' to mature. Considering it was $30k new, I don't think that was the right choice.

So, even at $20k, is it a CP?

He's trying to get the paint and roof money he spent back. Someone should have told him it was a lost cause - Maaco $299 paint job for a 4k car.

Pretty much. I get what he's trying to do, it's just never going to happen.

absolutely, you can get closeout stock of 2013 miatas right around the ballpark of 20k, so its a no brainer to go with the 2013 instead of a 6 year old car

I don't care if it's got an LS2. You add 500 lbs to a Miata, and it's not a Miata.

Especially for $36 grand.

I don't like to assume, but I feel that its a safe bet that the person who owns this is a late 50's white haired man that dresses in hawaiian shirts at car shows...you can get a nc with a v8 for 30k (patience needed, but possible) , screw the weight difference, I want a newish car for that kind of cash!

Here's an unmodded (except for the ugg-ass skirts?) 2003 with an automatic for $17,800.

I'unno, I want to piss off the LS/V8 boys by throwing the engine into a junkyard, destroying it and swap in a Cossie 4-banger engine in the Miata.

Or run a flat-plane crank in the V8.

1984 5 speed , With a motor but lacking a gas tank, at Lemons-qualifying $500, NP. I'm doing this wrong, aren't I? All the Miatas were boringly stock and reasonably painted.
