Online forums say Xidas are the best Miata coilovers and is proven by how well the car feels even on rough roads. Coilovers alone are around $2500 brand new.
Cons include light rust on the rear right rocker (pictured), quoted $750 for the fix. And the soft top needs some repair in a couple spots (pictured), quoted $300 for the fix. Water doesn’t leak inside despite the needed fix. These repair costs are factored into the listing price. Car was not optioned with A/C from the factory but who needs A/C when the roof comes off?! Other than that the car is great in every other aspect as I will talk about in the pros.
Pros include: the car was maintained and taken care of by an automotive technician. The car is mechanically sound and the following maintenance/repairs have been done:
Done by me:
– Oil changes every 5000kms

Tires: Grippy 340 treadwear (i believe) BF Goodrich G-Force Sport Comp 2s, tread around 7mm all around. DOT production date 2020
Brakes: around 6-7mm all around
Car will also come with: 2 spare tires, leather tonneau cover for the top, a leather cover for the top when it’s folded down and a dash cam.
This Miata is a great, fun car. Awesome to take corners in or just go on a nice sunday cruise with the top down. The car is a light, has sufficient power, manual, rear wheel drive, LSD which packs the Miata in a perfect starter sports car package.
Reason for selling: I had my fun experiencing Miata ownership this summer but am looking for something different to own as my “fun car”. I am listing this car up for sale despite summer ending. But if it doesn’t sell within a price I am happy with then I’ll just list it up next summer when there is more desire to purchase a car like this, so I am in no rush.
Asking $8500 OBO
