Used Mazda MX-5 Miata for Sale

Best car I've ever owned, has no problems and runs great. I would recommend to anyone.

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 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.
