Default [CRAIGSLIST] 1997 Mazda Miata - $1300 (Long Island)

Scam? Maybe, but worthy of a phone call at least. I already have too many cars, otherwise I'd be all over this.

Goes straight to voicemail...I am curious about what "needs work"...if it's just the tire, then no big deal.

Hmmmmm....yes for the price "the needs work" may be more to it than just the tire. Low miles for a '97 though....

I highly doubt it is just the tire. Probably body damage, or leaky/crappy motor, etc.

PLEASE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE CALLING


I have up for sale a full set of 19 inch (staggered) 3 piece Gfg wheels with tires (real 3 piece design) off my Porsche carrera. Rims are in decent shape tires are good. One tire needs replacement. 5 lug pattern. Please check BEFORE YOU CALL if these can fit your vehicle. You could buy adapters to fit you vehicle if its not a Porsche. If im not mistaken I think they are 5x130.
Rear tires are 265/35 Zr 19 where as the fronts are 225/40zr 19.
I paid 4800 for these wheels brand new! 1300 takes them.
