I wouldn’t normally just post something for sale on the forums but I thought this might be of particular interest to some people here. Forgive me if this is inappropriate.
The head gasket blew on my miata and burned the pistons. Mechanic says it needs a new engine to the tune of about $3,500. The car is otherwise in pretty good shape. It’s a 2008 3rd generation MX-5 2.0L 6-Speed manual with 65k miles. Black soft top, red body with Bluetooth head unit and run flat tires that have 75% or more tread still on them. lots of life left in the tires. The driver’s rear tail light has broken plastic and that corner has a telephone pole shaped dent.
I’m about to donate it to charity but if someone here wants it for a project (24 hour lemon race?) or is a Miata buff… I’d let it go for $1,000. With a working engine it’d be worth about 5-6k.
email me for more details and pics if interested.
