This car has a clean carfax, please see the VIN I have provided. It has reports on carfax from 1989 from the date it was purchased, to the state inspections it passed every time, and when it changed owners. This Miata has changed hands among 3 friends as a weekend and autocross/track car. All of us are car enthusiasts who not only properly drive a car, but also take pride with the maintenance and upgrades that we have performed on the car. I cannot stress and more that we are not a group of kids that think we know what we are doing with cars. I have some receipts of work and parts over the life of the car. I can prove what I am saying by coming down and checking out the condition of the car. Yeah the exterior isn’t pretty; however there is no rust on the car and is in pretty good shape. The drivers side door was once repainted, and if the condition of the paint is a concern after seeing the car in person, I have friends in the body shop/paint field that will help us out. I am not in any immediate rush to sell the car, so please no low blows. The car is truly a strong and well maintained car from the brakes to the engine/trans. The air conditioning even works! The 1.6L motor is stronger than the 1.8L because in japan they used that 1.6l bottom end in a turbo Mazda (I think for a Protégé). With proper maintenance I can see the engine lasting another 100,000 miles. My last compression test showed from cyl 1-4 (176)(175)(180)(176) The car is sold as is and the sale is final. Cash only.

For Miata Newbies:
For those that are into autocross and track days know the value of a Miata between its reliability and handling. During a track days, the setup I have on this car will allow you to drive faster than Corvettes and Porsches in the corners, and on the right road course you maintain faster lap times as well. My experience for a track weekend is as follows:
It starts with changing the oil before the track weekend. Drive there to the track towing my tools and tires for the weekend. Run on the track for two days. Then drive it back home.
By far this car has been and is the least expensive track/weekend car to maintain and enjoy yourself in. It is one of the easiest cars to drive and improve your skills on the track. If you continue to maintain the vehicle properly, it will maintain its value and will be able to sell it for around as much as when you purchased it.
My reason for selling the car is because I cannot keep this car anymore with a kid on the way, so my hobby of tracking cars is done for the next few years. It is amazing how children change everything.

Regular Maintenance includes: (I go a little overboard with my maintenance)
• Oil Changes with Castrol Synthetic 10w-30 before every track weekend
• Trans Fluid changes with a Redline Gear oil & MTF 50/50 mix once a season
• Spark Plugs and wires once a season
• Clean air filter once a season
• Serpentine belts were changed once during my ownership.
• Pads and rotors once a season
• Brake fluid gets bled with ATE Super Blue Dot 4 every other track weekend.
• Fuel Filter once a year

All of your 10 questionable posts took place in the span of 28 minutes--including the car for sale ad. You've been registered since last year, so why wouldn't you have posted 10 times in the last 17 months?

What's even weirder? I dont think you need any posts to post a car for sale.

^Because that's not how we roll around here. Contribute something worthwhile, even if it's just nudes of your wife, and you can stay. Post-***** and fail.

Yeah, I'm familiar with the nature of the forum. I thought his posts were on-topic, but I guess someone felt differently.
