Hey everyone, I'm heading down south soon to look at an '04 MSM for sale in St. George, UT. I live about 4.5 hours north of St. George, and was wondering if there are any Miata owners down there that might help me with checking out the car, and getting an overall feel for it. Maybe even go give it a quick look/test drive before I drive all the way down?

I'm hitting Jeff up via PM. I don't want to pressure him though. Cedar City is a good 45 minute drive away. And I'm pretty sure this is a good clean car, just thought it would be good to have an experience Miata owner lay a second set of eyes on it.

Totally. Jeff is in St. George all the time. He'll tell you the same thing.
If you want, PM me the link. I won't snipe the car but I can give you my opinion on it... I've been around the block a few times with these little guys

But here are some pics from the ad, and the engine and tire tread were not in the ad, but I asked for them anyway.

I read your other thread. So, I have to ask, why are you set on an MSM? It's a great car, but for just a little more money you could buy a clean low mile '01 or '02 with the 6-speed and Torsen, add an FM2 kit and have a super solid, wayyy better car.
I hope you've talked him down on the price a bit?
have you driven a stock MSM? What are your plans for the car?

I hear you 100%. You are obviously not just some noob diving in because MAZDASPEED OMG WTF BBQ YOLO.
If I were in your shoes, I'd be doing what you're doing. In fact, a year ago, I was shopping and planned to do the mod thing, finally had my wife on board, then found my modded MSM for just a bit more so I picked it up.
Anyway, I hope it works out. Stick around here after you get it. It's an ECU, intake and exhaust away from being a really, REALLY fun car.
Edit: and wheels and tires. Heh.

Sorry I missed your PM and this thread Nathan, been busy with the holiday retail preparation at my store. I'd be happy to take a look at it this weekend if that works for you.
Just let me know his number and tell him I'll be by.
Ed, seeing as I'm more familiar with the NA Miata, anything I should watch for in particular on the MSM? Can't imagine there is something I'd miss, but just in case.
