I picked it up yesterday - '06 touring with 41k for $10,500.
I had about a 30 mile drive home and didn't even turn on the radio.
The car is a blast to drive. I wish I would have made this decision a long time ago.

Here is some frame of reference.
In 1993, I bought a '90 Miata (4 year old considering made in1989) for $10.500
In 2010 (barely 2011) you too buy a 4 year old Miata for $10,500
Both had about 40k miles.
I hope you too enjoy yours as much in 17yrs as I still enjoy mine.
I think you got a killer deal.
This website says the following:
http://www.dollartimes.com/calculators/inflation.htm
$10,500.00 in 1993 had the same buying power as $15,979.31 in 2010.
$6,900.00 in 1993 had the same buying power as $10,500.69 in 2010. -

First, congrats!!
Second....Holy crap, either prices have come way, way down or I got ripped. I have an '06 Grand Touring, had 27k miles when I bought it last February and paid way more than that.
You'll love driving the car, and you'll get used to the seat eventually.

Wow, with a price like that I am almost tempted to sell my WRX and get another Miata.

Catalog schmatalog. We got our first Miata over Thanksgiving and had bought parts from you by the end of the week without a catalog. Internet FTW.

NVH, congrats on the purchase!!! You will most likely become really good friends with the entire crew at FM.
Oh, and looking at your screen name, I have to ask... Are you pro NVH, or con???
