I say BS again, he would have shown the minty exterior after the detail for sure, so what is he hiding? He also doesn't know that the car didn't come without the rubber for the gas pedal? Really? Also, anyone notice how the sheet metal is pushed slightly in near the black lower body paint in the passenger side front wheel well? No mention of that. As for the shadowing of paint in the rear, I don't see that, I do see a scratch on the edge to the left side plate opening. I think this ad is way too verbose, a long story about a guy who makes the seller believe he's a fellow Miata nut, only to want to sell a year and a half later because the car is too nice. I say nonsense. Perhaps he needs a quick $10k to pay some bills or whatever, and a long story to make it all sound so impossibly real. I don't buy it, and I wouldn't buy from this guy. I say it'll lose momentum quickly, and settle at $8500, no A/C included, and no mention of it. (I think no mention of it, I just can't bear to re-read the whole ad).
