This ugly, lovely Miata is my daily and has been for 6 years. She needs work, and I've done a lot over the years, but I've fallen behind. It has about 183,000 on it and moderately new BF Goodrich G-Force Comp-2 tires. The car had a problem where it is dying at idle sometimes. I have not been able to figure out why. This problem has gone away lately but could return. It will not currently pass smog. I think it needs a new catalytic converter. It was fine until about a year ago when these problems emerged. I paid off the back registration fees and put it into PNO. Stuff that works: ➕The car kind of works; it could hypothetically physically be driven down the highway illegally, but underlying problems should be fixed first ➕The radio and speakers ➕The heater ➕The roof goes down 😎 (it doesn't go up so well) ➕The tires are nice ➕New headlights (and fog lights are ready to be installed) ➕New battery Stuff to fix: ➖The car is very dusty from sitting in my covered parking space for the past year ➖Dashboard is cracked and could use some love ➖Driver door panel has a hole under the elbow ➖Driver seat needs a new cover because the foam is showing ➖Driver window sometimes sticks out about an inch above the door ➖Passenger door handle somehow split in two when I opened it recently. You can glue 'er back together! ➖The hood needs painted. The whole thing needs painted! Paint it. Or don't? ➖The convertible roof has a small leak when you wash the car ➖The cruise control only works if you hold the clutch at very specific angles ➖The car is no longer smogged; the catalytic converter probably needs to be replaced. ➖The A/C currently has been vacuumed out. It was working fine before I wanted to do a cleanout, but I never finished it :( ➖A better antenna setup should be added; has a cool bullet one now ➖It eats oil; it has always been heavy on oil usage ➖The belts sometimes scream on startup; I've replaced them a couple of times–it's probably a game of tightening them This car is very much in need of a person who has a garage in which it can be given a good mechanic treatment. I personally have done many street fixes on 'er, but eventually, that simply isn't enough. There's a lot of life here, or so I think, but it needs someone with time, tools, and space. https://www.faxvin.com/order/result?vin=JM1NB353910201952 ----- ⚠️ IMPORTANT SELLER'S NOTE (CALIFORNIA BUYERS): This car is being sold strictly AS-IS as a Mechanic's Special / Project Car.
