Description:

1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata

I have owned this car for 16 years. It has been the very best car I have ever owned. Super reliable, and fun! The car is very original mechanically. A air cleaner and wheels are about all that has been changed - other than the orange paint of course. (the color is Chrome Orange from the Lotus Elise)
The paint job was done 12 years ago and is showing signs of age. There are several chips, and some places where the paint is separating form the base layer. The clear is also pealing from the windshield surround.Mechanically the car is good, but again shows it age and milage. AC needs to be charged, clutch is only a few thousand miles old, there is a small exhaust leak in the original exhaust system. Still driveswell, but shifts a little on the "clunky" side compared to back in the day.Theemergency break is also not working and the cruise controldoes not function. There is no stereo in the car.
Thewheels and tires are virtually brand new... less than 1000 miles on them. The top is in good shape, with a very small puncture that has been sealed with rubber patch (seephotos).
I would drive this car anywheretomorrow without concern. It is 30 years old and seen many miles, so don't expect perfection. I've tried to show the condition in the photos. Please ask questions prior to bidding... and PLEASE don't bid unless you will buy! I expect you tofollowthrough with the purchase if you are the high bidder!
