Used Mazda MX-5 Miata for Sale

This car only has about 120k miles on it even though it's 23 years old. It still runs and drives great with only minor maintenance, which so far, I have been able to perform myself (i.e. replaced brake cylinder (leaking), water pump (leaking), and timing belt (which was a no brainer when replacing the water pump anyway). I have met many Miata owners and former owners who all give the car high marks. Most former owners say "Don't ever sell that car!"

Our Mazda Miata (which we named Casper because it's white and cute with a roundish build) is a great little car. We've had it 26 years and it's still going strong. We've been told the engine was only intended to last 100,000 miles, but we're at over 160,000 miles with no signs of the engine quitting anytime soon. The car handles well and has ample power, although sometimes a little sluggish in the mountains. Gas mileage is good despite its age. The biggest issue we've had with it is the rear window. We've got a convertible, and we've replaced the rear window a few times over the years.

This is a great little car. I have had it for over 15 years now, and it is still running perfectly. The interior finishes (such as the leather seats and the covering on the steering wheel ) have not survived the years in pristine condition, but the cracks in them are likely due to my negligence rather than a design flaw or material defect. The soft top has seen better days, and although it is as easy to raise it has so many holes that there is really no point to having it up especially as visibility is so much better when it's down anyway. The back plastic window became very scratched and cloudy very quickly and is therefore not very functional. I would recommend replacing the top with one that has a glass window. It handles like a dream. The clutch is very forgiving, which makes it a good car to teach someone to drive a manual on. The turn radius is nice and tight, making u turns a breeze in any situation. There is a surprising amount of cargo space if you use both the area behind the seats and the trunk. It gets great gas mileage (over 31 mpg) and is very responsive. You feel very connected to the road (if a little intimidated by large trucks) when driving it. It is very reliable. The factory stereo no longer works, but is easy to replace if desired. Parts aren't too expensive so if something goes wrong you can get it fixed, although not much has gone wrong. It holds up well if another vehicle hits you. It's a good car for shorter drivers as they can easily reach the pedals, but tall drivers may not fit comfortably.
