    Buy two Miatas .

    I just picked up a 92 Black and Tan to go with my 90 Miata. I mainly wanted the hardtop and I drove by this car sitting in a driveway near me for months everyday on my way home from work. I stopped to ask if he would sell the hardtop and ended up driving the whole car home for $1000.

    It is rusty (very), has 202k miles, and is stuck in third gear (the reason it has been sitting since November).

    I am going to try the screwdriver trick for Miatie stuck in reverse and hope for positive results. If not, I have a hardtop and many useful parts.

    And when you need a truck...

    I saw this leaving the local hardware store today.

    Hardtop + BBS wheels + Center Caps = $1000

    If you get that transmission issue fixed and you don't need the car let me know. I've always wanted a Miata and I can make that hard top free for you.

    PubBurgers: I will definitely keep it in mind.

    I'm excited to start working on it when the weather clears up. I originally started looking for a hardtop to rallyx my Miata. If I can fix the trans I may just rallyx this one instead. We will see.

    Fixed that for you. I got that # for mine in under 48 hours, zero hassle or haggle.

    The BBS's and center caps are probably worth another $600 easy and you still have an entire Miata left.

    GOOD buy!!

    Unfortunately it only has 3 centercaps, maybe the last one is hiding in the car somewhere. I'll have to take some better pictures once it clears up.

    It is also the first Miata I have owned with power windows and cruise control.

    I bought two perfect hardtops for $500 each.
