I have a 97 Miata that I would like to sell. Black in color. Paint is shiny. It's in good to very good condition.
Has 106K on the odo. Body is good. No rust. Has a couple of hail dents and the parking lot dings and scrapes you might expect for a '97. Generally looks very nice.
Has cold A/C, power steering and brakes, power windows, and power mirrors. 5 speed manual.
Current emissions, this spring.
New battery.
New top was installed just before I bought it. It's ~9 years old, but has been parked inside almost continuously, since then. No holes or rips. No leaks.
Plastic rear window is still in good condition. Not foggy or cracked. Zips out if desired.
Has brand new Mr.Mikes cloth upholstery (Yeah... Mr.Mike does Miatas too.) with brand new Miata-specific headrest speakers.
(Door speakers are good, but I will also include a brand new pair of replacements.)
Has a Kenwood multimedia receiver with a removable face, USB port and iPod control.
It has black and machined Chapparal wheels (similar to Panasports) as well as the originals. Both sets of wheels have decent tires.
The car is mechanically bone stock and unmolested.
Selling because Tammy got a new one for Christmas. Would like to keep it, but have way too many cars to feed, and not enough room to park them all.
(Some of you may have seen this car. I have driven it to several meetings at the Galaxy, when the Fiero was out of service for whatever reason.)
**SOLD**

You can message me here, or call (or text) seven-seven-oh... three-six-one... seven-9-6-ate. If no answer, please leave message. I'll call you back.
If there's no interest here, I'll post on Pennocks or elsewhere. I'll give it a few days, though.
UPDATE -
Thanks for all the comments. Sold.

Still would like for a friend to have it, instead of someone from GRM or Craigslist beating the snot out of it.

Ron, your wife needs a convertible. It'll help her deal with a husband that has a Fiero.

I'm hearing some not-so-good things about the weather. Being that we only have (maybe) 3-4 cars, should we consider a reschedule? (Tammy is even considering participating, in her Miata. But she ain't gonna do it in the rain.)
Thoughts?
Did you sell it to Tammy?

Nope. This originally was bought for Tammy, in 2008 or so. I made repairs/improvements to it, over the time that we had it.
She got a 2016 for Christmas, a few years back, and I "inherited" this one. I realized that we didn't have room for it, so we sold it.
We still hear from the buyer from time to time (FB friends of both of us). It's still going strong. I think they even drove it on their honeymoon.
(I still think it drove better than Tam's 2016, but it's a moot point, now.)

Another mystery solved for me. Have heard talk of this Miata car before and wondered what it was. . ..an MX-5.
Yep. "Miata" was a "US" thing. Apparently the manufacturers feel the need to market directly to Americans. OTOH, in other parts of the world, the MX-5 was/is called "Eunos".
"Acura" was also a "US" thing. Apparently, in Japan, they're all "Honda". Same cars, mostly.

Lexus=toyota
Acura=honda
Infiniti=nissan
Hyundai bought kia, so they'd have a low-end of cars, also.

Genesis used to be a model. I went to make a left out of the dealership in one, and tore the transmission loose from the mounts. Real quality.
One of my objects of automotive lust used to be a 3.8 Genesis Coupe. Had a better power-to-weight ratio than a Challenger R/T.
I drove one. Could have gotten into serious trouble with that car. :D

Truth to be told, while on a factory-authorized evaluation of the pre-production Camaro, the shift lever came loose in the transmission, and I couldn't get it back in. The GM rep got an earfull.
