no rust, car's pretty straight. trunk needs re-paint badly. (rattle can job..) well, paints in decent shape on the whole car, but right rear quarter is different color from PO. not sure why. frame is straight.

car handles awesome on track. setup proper to be a relatively maintenance free track car. 5 years and dozens of events and only issue i had was a spark plug wire pop off. oil changed before every event, sometimes 2x per month.

still debating on whether to sell or not, really.. what is a realistic price? i have a certain "target" but i don't know if it's "realistic" or not..

I love this car, and a lot of the miata community does also. I know you have been debating about selling it for some time and if you choose to you know what everyone will say.

Part it out.

As it sits right now, 4k is what you are going to get. Its a 94 miata, high-ish miles, no AC, no radio. But it does have lots of cool stuff. But people don't pay for "cool stuff". If you have stock replacement stuff, I HIGHLY suggest parting this out. Here is a quick lay out.

You sell the car for 4k and call it a day OR

Roll bar 400
KG works spoiler 100
seats 400-500
harnesses 100
wheel 100
side mirrors 50
tow hooks 30
enkei wheels 500
Steelies 200

Now you have a stock car without AC, pop on a cheap radio have a stock steering wheels, seats and mirrors that will sell for 3500 bucks. if you still have the stock suspension laying around, swap that for even more money.

Shock, springs and sways 500 easy

I know its a little bit of work, but you will make more money in the end and you can give back to the community. One last thing, my prices are totally made up from what I have seen and what I can guess. I'm sure they will fluctuate at least a little bit. But a difference of 4000 bucks and 5300/6000 is a good chunk of money!

Well, you have to consider how much a miata is worth in your area. it may be different because up north you have to deal with rust. That gives you more money in your pocket.

If you wait a few months, like until spring time, then you might get more for the car because once decent temps start to come back up North people aren't apprehensive about convertibles. Good luck.

Very true. If you decide to sell it/part it out, which I really hope you don't, know that your parts will go to good loving homes :P
