Description

1999 Mazda Miata MX-5 114,817 miles 5-speed manual transmission Rebuilt title due to accident in the early 2000s Runs and drives beautifully! To be fully transparent, she does need some work. I’m pretty inept when it comes to mechanical work, but I’ve been told these are relatively easy fixes by those more knowledgeable than me. I just don’t have the skill set to do it myself. It does need a new alternator belt I believe, and there are some creaky noises here and there. I have experienced it pop out of first gear, but only when shifting from neutral to first or from second to first, and it’s only happened a handful of times. There are rips and tears in the soft top that I’ve attempted to DIY fix. I was going to replace the soft top, but never got around to it. Priced accordingly due to these issues, I’m sure if you’re a fanatic of these cars / more mechanically inclined this car is going to make for an amazing project. I had a lot of plans for it but I need something more practical!
