    ^ You know, with those miles + the HT, that car is worth that kind of coin!

    Well, put it up for sale then, if it sells then you'll know. You can always ask a high price, take offers and refuse them. Go for it!

    Based on the pictures he sent me of the dash and undercarriage, I'm thinking $7,500-$8,200 is the true sweet spot. When they purchased it from a dealership in Cincinnati, they had far less into it and would still turn a profit selling at that price point. Right now they are fishing for an "educated buyer".

    If I was on the market for such a ride, I would not dicker over $1-2K bucks!

    A) We already know that you have a commitment issue.

    B) You offered $8K, 'cause you would try to get $11K... ;)

    And you did VERY well, but the BRG such as the one in this thread, is what would/could be called a "game changer".

    Then I would have to find a replacement, and I have been spoiled. No thanks on that!

    A low mileage BRG with a HT.

    There are but of few Miatas that truly defy logic, this is one of them.

    It has two things going for it. the main thing driving the price is the low production number, and low mileage.

    but if you go head to head vs say a white Miata in production numbers

    Mazda only made 3997 NA Miata's in British Racing Green
    but
    Mazda made over 40,000 NA Miata's in White (Crystal White & Chaste White)

    So which one is harder to find? (Supply & Demand)

    Then there is the old school British Racing Green paint on a vintage Miata, and it evokes the true sports car feel/look.

    just my .02 cents
