Fun old impractical Toyota... But the old and impractical don’t phase me. I have a LS for practical reasons and it has 300k on it so old doesn’t bother me.

Some people don’t know what’s good for them, everyone can use a lightweight roadster to brighten up their day!

Specialist fora are probably the best way to get rid of it though. There’s also a seemingly large price gap between the NB and the ZZW30 in the US, but a shared audience, so I’d guess most buyers would pick the Miata. Unless they’re tall.

They realize this was a $22k car 15 years ago, right? They sat on lots when they were new.

I loved them, but they sat on lots for over 100 days on average in 2003.

You guys would be certifiable not to take that offer. Low miles or not, that’s not a $13k car. I’d be stunned if it even cracked $10k on BaT.

If you have to be in the car at 12,900, your dealership paid too much for it.

If I was her, I would walk out.

Thats what I said..she was originally at 12,500 but I bumped her to 12,900 PLUS a 3rd party warranty she may want

Black Hole Patch , I carry these with me for when dealers need a hole in a used car patched. They are easy, cheap and I haven’t had any come back. Get the sale, she’ll accept this as a fix.

It probably depends on what the car is valued on your dealers flooring line.

Pre- or post-03? Because that changes the potential for catastrophic failure greatly. If the US market is similar to Europe, pre-03s should be $4-6k, post-03s $7-10k, depending on mileage and condition of course.

It is a very small market, so you’ve got people asking up to 15k over here, or almost double what I paid. ¯\_()_/¯

Don’t worry, they’re ridiculously cheap to buy in the UK, so you’ll have to rely on the insurance companies to make you pay through the nose.

What’s your tax based on? I got lucky, as both insurance and tax largely depend on displacement, and 1.8l isn’t too outrageous.

Cars pre 01 have two brackets. £235 for 1.55 litre or more, £145 for less. Then newer cars are based on CO2 so NA petrols are expensive to tax.

Yup. There’s a fault in the pre-refresh pre-catalytic converters that can cause ceramic material to be sucked into the engine. It’s somewhat easily prevented (gut or remove them), but not repairable, so most informed buyers look for the final production years.
