2019 Grand Touring trim level, tan interior, 26K miles. Equipped with a cat back exhaust, strut bar, 17x8 Konig Ultragram wheels with Continentals, Wilwood big brake kit, and Ohlin coilover shocks with stiffer springs. Drives like a gokart, but really a nice smooth ride. The brakes are awesome! It also comes with an extra set of stiffer springs for track days (I won't be doing that) and all the stock bits, so a second set of wheels and tires. Seller will deliver tonight or tomorrow and then I'll be off to the Secretary of State for a plate on Tuesday. Much fun will follow! I'm stoked.

Congrats! That angle is really flattering on the hardtop ND
Dang! That's wonderfully equipped! I might have to come up for a visit and a ride before the weather changes!
Lovely! I really think the 19+ RF is a perfect car. Yours sounds like it's specc'd slightly perfecter.
The tan with red was the thing that pushed me at it. The lack of colour choices, plus predominantly black interiors on new ones didn't appeal to me at all. The fellow selling it is being transferred to Japan and is getting rid of it, so the price was a fair market value, and there's $8500 worth of stuff on it from Good-Win Racing, making it a bargain in my book.
Super nice, enjoy it to the fullest!
if you don't mind, what did you pay for it? Did you buy it locally? did it come with the stock parts? (wheels, brakes, etc.)
In reply to ClearWaterMS :
$26K, the guy lives 1.5 miles away, it came with all the stock parts (wheels, tires,shocks,springs,brakes, muffler). He also threw in a second set of stiffer Swift springs and some Porterfield pads. He also gave me a brake rotor runout tool, and sold me a very nice Zinko floor jack for $100. I figured it was a good deal compared to a new model at $36,000+ ,considering all the aftermarket add-ons. This thing turns and stops better than anything I've ever driven before.
Edit: The seller even had the foresight to buy 5 wheels, just in case he ever bent one on our wonderful Michigan roads.
Beautiful car and lots of goodies. That seems like a really good price to me with all those extras. Nice score. The ND is really quite a beautiful car.
Where in Michigan are you? We need to get a little Miata group together for events like the Woodward cruise.
In reply to Feedyurhed :
I'm in Dexter. If you have a miata and want to do social things with it, you should join the MiMiata Club. Monthly meeting is tonight in Livonia. I'm trying to get insurance and a new title done today so I can take it to the meeting.
Thanks. I am about 1-1.5 hours away near lake St. Clair. I do have a Miata so I'll check out the club. Is the meeting always in Livonia or does it move around?
That color is so classy on these cars. Congrats!
Very nice. Totally nailed it on the stance, the color, the spec.
Much congratulations.

Always in Livonia, at Mama Mia's Restaurant on Plymouth Road, second Monday of each month.

It ticks me off that Mazda has such a bland colour palette choice, aside from Soul Red. Their marketing people need to go look at the Chevrolet site and build a new Corvette there to see some decent colour selection. A Vette is available in several bright colours and there's a green (Cacti Green) that would look gorgeous on an ND-RF.

The guy I got it from nailed it, I just have good timing.

I'm jealous. That's the exact car I'd like.
Put me on the waiting list to buy it in a few years when you are done with it!

I think that is a really good deal. The car probably has close to $10k in mods and most ND2 RF's are not much less than what you paid stock. Nicely purchased; enjoy the new ride.
In reply to ClearWaterMS :
The add-ons were $8500 for the parts cost (I have the receipts). I assume he installed all the stuff himself, so no labour. I'm more than happy with what I paid.

OK....you've got 1st dibs.

So true. The early Miata's had better choices. Green would be awesome.
Is it wrong that I really dig the sand beige?
