When I get bored, I just order hookers.

Those wheels look like something from a hot wheels car.

Really? Are there such things?

Never_Enough · 10-09-2015, 09:09 AM

I loved my Miata. I will buy another.

How is that one a collectible? Get rid of those wheels NOW!!!

Daemonblitz · 10-09-2015, 10:09 AM

Congrats on a nice clean, low mileage and well kept Miata, I am sure you will have lots of fun with it.

I wouldn't really call it a collectible, and the wheels need to go right away. They ruin the entire car at this point, my 2c

eric@helix · 10-09-2015, 10:38 AM

The Miata is the answer to every question. Find some original wheels and torch the chromey bits.

M3Bimmer77 · 10-09-2015, 10:42 AM

Bronx wheels!!! Why is it lifted?
Are Miatas collectibles?

135TX · 10-09-2015, 10:43 AM

Collectible- Debateable
but I do believe this car will hold it's value very well

especially as more shit become electronic, and assisted... cars are getting to be robots

This is pure, may not be E30 M3 status but is very highly regarded across generations and applications ( racing, DD, weekend cruise)

GrantE83 · 10-09-2015, 10:51 AM

If Miata / mx5 are collectible then people need to stop using them as street drift cars used for learning and smashing them in to walls etc at drifting events

IndotagSwizz · 10-09-2015, 10:51 AM

I never take mileage serious in any car that's over 3 years old, specially the cars that used to come without digital odometers (tho most of digital odometers can be changed as well).. I always laugh when a friend of mine comes and tells me I got this 05 corvette its mint condition and it only has 25k miles on it!! Now look obviously just because I pile the miles in my car doesn't mean that there isn't people that have second cars and barely drive them but c'mon my 2014 BMW already has over 50k on it...now that Miata does look mint but I find it impossible for that mileage to be real

It's not impossible.

It's 25 years old with 50k kilometres (30k miles) on it. Oroginsl everything never driven in snow or rain, I'd say irs collectible. In five years it'll qualify for classics car in Canada. Cheers

I agree, the wheels will go away as soon as I have time.

You are right that most old cars with low mileage have something fishy going on, but this car was driven Strickly on sunny Sunday, got a vehicle history on it and showed it to my mechanic who's a close friend of mine. It seemd legit and I bought it at a relatively high price I might add. The car was lifted off the ground and kept in a heated a humidity controlled garage. Previous owner was also a car enthusiast. His other cars were a MY14 Audi S5, and a Porsche 911. He has terminal cancer and selling everything including the house unfortunately. As a matter of fact the day I made the deal he was at the hospital getting kimmo treatment which made the experience kinda sad. Made the deal with his son....

Beautiful find! Keep it in great condition. It's pretty rare already these days to see something original like that.
