2000 Mazda MX-5 Miata Clean Title (Bitcoin Accepted) ALSO ON CRAIGLIST LOCALLY, I WILL CANCEL THIS IF IT SELLS LOCALLY. This Miata began to make a knocking noise and was garaged hoping to get it fixed while I drove my other car. Haven't had a chance to get this car to a mechanic and the car has been sitting for a few months. Now I'm moving to a different state and I'm going to have to cut ties with this car if someone is willing to take over. The car is on a non-op title now. The car has been in the garage long enough for the battery to die as well (which is why the odo number is approximate) . ~120,000 Miles (Battery is dead, record on the title says 113,870 miles, but the car has a few thousand more miles after that record was taken. It's less than 120,000 miles but because I can't give you an exact reading without going out and buying a battery I rounded up to 120,000. You'll be happy to see a lot less on the actual odo when you give it some life again.) All of the interior is in good condition, the seats have regular wear on them. The shift knob is the only wood that is worn, you can't really see the numbers anymore but I kept the stock nardi knob because it is nice. You could polish it if you wanted but that would ruin it for me. The softop is in good condition, never used it myself much because I either had the roof off and the softop down or the hardtop on. It's showing a little age with some darker spots in the leather where the leather touches the frame. Hardtop is in good condition as well. The main side weatherstripping for the soft and hard top are both very new, but the front stripping on the hard top where the roof of the Miata meets the hardtop looks like it has leftover silicone sealant or something similar that was used by the PO (I've left the residue out of fear of scratching the paint) The paint is in pretty good condition, there are a few scratches that have been covered with touchup paint and some areas where you can see swirl marks but for the age of the car it is overall pretty good. I've noticed that the paint of the bumper has started to fade at the very bottom compared to the rest of the car which you notice if you're laying down behind the car in direct sunlight working on it... The worst scratches on the car are two on the back bumper near the third brake light, and of course the front lip has a lot of dings and scrapes that you can't see unless you get down there. Overall I would put the paint at an 8/10 but I would recommend getting the car detailed so it's nice and shiny. The car has all oem parts except for a Roadstersport Midpipe California legal catalytic converter. Passed smog perfectly with the midpipe a few thousand miles ago. I took a look at the install job on the midpipe and I personally would get the midpipe reinstalled because they used gasket goo. A working condition (PO said it was in almost new condition and I never used it) stock Mazda midpipe/cat will also be included unless you don't want it. Spark plugs, oil, air filter all changed at least every 5,000 miles. Spark plug wires, coolant etc also changed frequently. Timing belt and water pump were replaced by mechanic only a few months before the car was put in the garage. Obviously they've been sitting though, so all wear and tear parts should probably be inspected / replaced. The tires probably have been deformed from sitting as well. The engine and radiator are both almost empty, but some fluid has been left inside just to be safe. Happy to work with you to ship this car, have you come pick it up, and happy to deal with Cashier's check, Bitcoin, Cash, really anything that works for you and isn't sketchy. Also happy to let you take the car to any mechanic but you'll need to transport the vehicle, and you're probably a mechanic/carnut already if you're interested. =============================== I have many more pictures, and to anyone interested I will send pictures of every single scratch and imperfection that I know of on the car as well as photos of the engine bay, and underneath the car which are both in VERY clean condition. I'm one of those people that cleans his engine bay. Anything else you need, just let me know! ===============================
