Used Mazda MX-5 Miata for Sale

This was the first year released model of the convertible Miata MX5 by Mazda. Mazda promoted this as an entry level low cost convertible. I have to admit that given the low price this was one of the most fun vehicles that I had ever owned. The 5-speed transmission and two latch and one zipper convertible top release made any long highway or coast journey an enjoyable experience. The car was used primarily as a work commuter and weekend trip car. I daily took it along the Pacific Highway Coast and through Topanga and Mulholland Canyons. Despite it's small wheel size, the car drove like it was on rails. The car with several package options and the air conditioning and third party sound system only added to the driving enjoyment in all types of weather. The only non standard maintenance issues I had with the car were a burnt out intermittent fan sensor and oxidation and cracking of the plastic rear window after 4 years. This is the kind of car that every parent would want their college bound young adult to drive to college and to beach parties in.

I love everything about my Miata. It is a two seater but very comfortable. It is fun driving it because it hugs curves so well. Its a sharp looking red convertible. I can't say one bad thing about it. The gas mileage is great. It is rated to go 167 mph with the tires it has on it. I will never buy a different kind of car.

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!"
