Hey guys, my name is Stephen or Steve. Used to own a 95 NA8 while away at college but sold it before moving home. Loved it and now that my current DD gives me issues,(Ford Explorer offroad build) I figure it's time to go back to a car that I won't trash in the dirt.
AAAAANYWAYS
I've been looking high and low, and figure the best bang for my buck is buy a nice low mile NB on a loan w/the signature of mommy (only 18 with a maxed credit card because I didn't have a job for some time at school). So I'm finding that anything under 80k miles costs around 6-7.5 grand. Doable? Totally.
My biggest question is this: 2002 LS, 44k on odometer, clean interior and soft top, garaged/collected by first owner, DD by second (lady in mountain regions). She's asking 7400.
What do you guys think is fair price with the assumption that I check it out and there's no sign of premature/extended wear and has been properly maintained?
Also, what are some pros and cons of the vvt nb2 vs. the nb1, besides coil packs and potential #4 cam bearing problems?
Thanks guys! Glad to be apart of the forum and can't wait to get my next Miata and start a thread on it.
