EDIT: of not happenings :( Someone got there first. Jay, if that was you it's okay, I told you to buy it. Just sad I didn't get everything sorted out in time. Let the Miata quest continue

Going to look at a Miata today

Do it. Miata + Sensible Warm Hatch = great garage.

Any idea what year/generation you're looking for specifically, or is it just any good deal on any miata?

I have my heart set on an NA, and would like to spend right around $3000.

The one I'm looking at today is an STO with 165k miles. Being an STO makes it interesting, and from pictures it looks pretty decent.

If this one falls through, there's a couple a few hours away I'll probably go look at.

Yes. My only fear is damage to the miata because Kansas sucks and I only have a one car garage.

It's probably going to go into a storage unit in the winter, and I'll be on high alert for hail storms.

The STO isn't that big of a deal. In the forums it's colloquially known as "shit taken off". Basically they grabbed all the leftover parts and called it a special options package.

NAs are going up in value. Get the cleanest one you can and keep it nice.

Very nice! I was looking for a 1.8L NA as well originally, then wound up getting a helluva deal on an early NB instead. Good luck in your search!

I know it's not a big deal, but it makes it different. Maybe not different for a good reason, but different. It looks fairly clean and it's a pretty fair price, it just happens to be an STO.

I just meant that it isn't something that would raise the value or anything(like the m edition, '91 BRG, etc).
