SKI HI Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Yes that's my car. I was barely able to put 400 miles on it this summer. I decided to put it up for sale and see what happens .If someone buys it they will get a great car if not I will keep it. My work takes my away in the summer and our summer is too short as it is!http://www.usa7s.com/vb/images/icons/icon9.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Budlite Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 That is a nice looking car, RHD too! Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMTX Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hi Steve, I'm not sure what is really wrong with only putting 400 miles on the car. I have a 04 Mazdaspeed Miata that I bought new that still has less than 4500 miles on it. It spends the rest of its life in a temperature controlled garage, being treated better than many humans. I just drive it when I want to, but never did get it to drive much, not did I expect to. I still love the car, and it costs me little to keep it. It also has never been worth less than I paid for it, even including the expenses over the years (insurance, gas,oil). If you really like your Cat, you should keep it, even if you don't get to drive it as much as you want. It sounds like you'll miss it if you sell it. (All IMHO, of course.)

Guest Terry Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 What you need to do Steve is sell it to me for what I offered. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMTX Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 "It also has never been worth less than I paid for it, even including the expenses over the years (insurance, gas,oil)".... how can that be true... 1) brought it right and paid cash 2) insurance is cheap 3) 4500 miles, completely unmodified and untampered with 4) never driven in rain 5) in new cosmetic condition, never autox or raced 3-5k miles are very unusual for a Mazdaspeed Miata. I don't even know if they are any left with under 5k on them, but untampered MSM's with low, Tamper with one and you get to lose $6k or more on the sale. And, yes, I have sold cars previously for more than I had in them. including a couple that I put 30-40k miles on. So it can be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKI HI Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) I appreciate all the positive remarks ,the sale is the outcome of being gone for 11 weeks of our 16 to 18 weeks of Summer. Woke up this morning to 3cms of snow on the ground and our town promptly went out put gravel on the roads ! Gravel, the arch enemy of Super Sevens! I would never sell it for a low offer.

Sorry but what you say is just a bit silly, your car books out at @ 10 k....., yeah, the low miles are a plus but is still a used Miata, you are dreaming for this year .
