I would go for a soft top normally, but with winter I would want a power hard top.

CP because the Miata bandwagon is stupid here.

That is a LOT of miles for a MX-5. CP.

I’m a fan of these for year-round cars in colder climates because the hard top only adds about 80 lbs and takes up no more trunk space than the soft top.

But I already DD’d an NB for 4 years and if/when I have another 2 seat sports car it would most likely be as a 3rd car rather than a DD.

If I lived in a warm climate I go soft top.

I have no clue what the prices or values of these are. It looks nice and seems lovely though.

For a (usually) summer only vehicle it is.

If it has a PRHT, it was probably driven all year round.

But they come standard with summer tires.... Adding to the fact that its probably been shod with all seasons or winters, and driven in the snow and salt, and how quickly Mazdas rust.... CP.

Was there a removable hardtop for the soft top NC models?

I really like my hardtop for the NB. A coupe for winter and a rag top for summer.

I suppose I should mention I’m in Wisconsin.  The hard top NC still doesn’t have a ton of sound insulation so there’s a fair amount of wind noise. But you don’t have a soft top.

But its a MIATA. I wouldn’t want a S2000 Camaro Mustang or Challenger with similar miles and age for that price.

Seems borderline. You miss the 2009 NC2 improvements, and the seat is chewed up... if I was really interested in NC Miatas in this configuration and wasn’t willing to wait and/or travel, I might consider it. Otherwise marginal CP.

Seats can be re-upholstered easily, I won’t hold that against it.

Orrrrrrr, you could get a NA or NB, hardtop, and a V8 swap for less.

Seriously? That’s less than 10k miles a year. That’s perfectly acceptable, even as a summer only vehicle.
