Miatanomics
Recently agreed to buy a '90 miata w/ 300k on the clock.
Cost: $500 Just this morning was cruising local classifieds and came across the following for sale (from a '92): motor w/ 142k, trans, driveshaft, LSD rear, alternator, radiator, various hoses and a few other bits and pieces. Total cost: $400. I mean seriously, this is just stupid cheap!

yup. was just going to pick up the motor and alternator but he was only asking $100 each for the trans and rear. got the package deal price. will be going to see him in a few weeks to help him pull everything after i've checked compression.
guy's putting a v8 in the car so the old stuff coming out isn't due to wear/problems.

That's a good buy. LSD & a motor and other extras. It's still a 1.6, but it does have the long nose crank.
For the record, I never find deals like this. Case in point, I recently missed out on a Hard Dog roll bar that sold for $150. |

I had the chance to buy a 92 miata about 5 years ago, fresh top end on a 140k motor, nice interior, good tires, in need of paint and a new top. For $500.
I didn't do it, and subsequently regret it everytime I think about it. But if I would have done that I wouldn't have gotten into Porsches.
