Why someone would put all this money into street-queening a 30 year old boulder instead of just punching themselves in the face is beyond me.

Car shopping and this is up in my town:

Worn synchros on 2nd gear, or something else? Also, sorry if this isn't a post-anything-on-craigslist thread, I didn't see where else to ask questions like this.

edit: obligatory lol bozo exhaust

1900$ OBO *(must see in person to make offer)* Less than I paid 6 months ago, not looking to make a profit just want car to go to a good home.

Contact by text or email preferred, will ensure speedy reply.

Car is all original, will include factory head unit (installed). Factory mud flaps are in vehicle, not installed.
Car runs and drives, shifts smoothly, does not run rough, pulls smoothly.
Body is in need of love, rear quarters have been poorly repaired by improper means to fix previous rust issues, cheap paint job starting to fade. Front bumper lip has rust due to previous car bra. Comes with 87+ lip (not installed).
Engine has typical valve seal wear, smokes on startup. Also has very common distributor seal leak, leaks on exhaust, makes a mess. Header downpipe leak/rust makes ticking sound exhaust leak sounds.
Runs cool, loses no coolant. Engine bay fan works.

With a little investment could be a great daily driver, or with a larger investment would be a great restoration platform for what is becoming a rare, desirable car.

Video of car: http://youtu.be/7a1pliYrUCo

Would the distributor just need a rebuild to fix that leak, and would a compression test be a reliable enough way of verifying the valve seal leak? If not, is there really any way to tell it's the valves and not something more involved without actually going into the engine?

Yeah, I've never seen an MR2 engine bay in person, but I'd imagine they're cramped.

edit: Woops bought it, he took pretty far below his asking. The smoke was paltry and dissipated almost instantly, definitely valve stems if I'm reading everything correctly. Everything was in pretty good shape and it drove great. I've got my very own origami spaceship now :3:

This poo poo gets my goat. If I'm looking for a Miata, I don't want a goddamn Suburban to pop up. The few times I've asked people why they do it, they reason that "maybe someone will change their mind when they see my ad :downs:"

The ad is wrong, it's a manual. I suppose buying a repo car may be a bad idea? I'm considering selling my AW11 for this, seeing as it's impossible to find a sub-2.5k NB around here.

edit: nevermind it's 500 miles away, I hate when Craigslist posts aren't actually in the city :argh::arghfist:

Any input on how much I could offer this guy? I want to pull off a couple body panels and some interior bits, but he doesn't want to part it out despite the fact it's been listed for months now. I figure if I can get him low enough, it would be worth it to take off what I need and then part out the rest myself:

I barely look at Jacksonville's Craigslist for Miatas anymore because the prices are usually so ridiculous, but here's some actual gold:

I know right where this car is; it's down the street from our FL place. Owner has 3 Miatas, a light blue NB and two of the originals. I would DEFINITELY be concerned about rust, I left my 1st gen 4Runner down there for 3 weeks & noticed rust in new places. As far as I know, this pack of Miata's have been ocean-side since new.

Ah yeah, I didn't even notice it was in Fernandina. It's disappointing going to see a car on the south/westside assuming it's going to be clean, only to find out the owner previously lived at the beach and it channeled its inner car-from-the-northeast.
