Brief Description:
I have owned this car since February 2006 and around 92,000 miles. Almost 30,000 miles and 2.5 years later I am still in love with it but ready to be a bit more responsible. Over the last year I have barely driven it. I am moving further away from my job and school so instead of putting miles on her I would like to get a cheap car to daily and be able to park on the street without worrying about it. It JUST got all new gaskets, and many new parts in the last 9,000 miles including the clutch, timing chains, oil pump, and oil pan to name a few. It has honestly been maintained like I never wanted to sell it and is in the best condition it has been in since I bought it. It handles like it's on rails and pulls through corners like no other car I have ever driven. I’d like it to go to a good home with someone will be able to take care of it the way I have.
My Asking price:
$8000 or $9800 with BBS
-Or best offer, Parts can be taken off the car to drop the price or I can work with you.
-Will consider partial trades for lightly modded Miata or a clean eg or ek hatch (nothing boosted) but I would like atleast $2500-$3000 on top of the trade.
-PLEASE refrain from the "what’s the lowest you will go?" PM's.

Front end has rock chips and hatch has rust. Front end and hatch may be repainted before sale. Cruise control is intermittent and the sunroof tilts but doesn’t slide.
I’m sure there are parts on the car that I am neglecting to mention, I’ll add more when it comes to mind. This car has had many looks and I’ll include some pictures of each stage.
