Default FOR SALE: 1999 Miata - 62,000 miles

I'm afraid that my beloved '99 Miata is up for sale. I hurt my back
last year and climbing into and out of it has become rather painful.
Here's the details on this very well equipped Miata:

Only 62,000 miles
Includes both HARDTOP and RAGTOP
Power Windows
Air Conditioning
2 Full Sets of Tires and Wheels (8 total):
Summer set: 15” Alloy with brand new Exclaim UHP tires
Winter set: 14” Alloy with 2 year old Blizzak Ice and Snow
Upgraded Audio System:
Plays CD, DVD, and MP3 disks
(Put thousands of MP3 files on a
DVD and never hear the same song twice!)
Input for iPod or other player
Outputs for Video and Audio
Equalizer
Looks and runs great!
Contact MIKE at 609-426-4976 or
(I'm posting pictures on my web site later today:
www.rally.cc/miata)

$6400 grabs it.

Sorry to hear that, I'm still managing my Miata but my back forced me
to sell my beloved 1985 Jaguar XJS, the combination of a very high door
sill and low roof required folding the back to get into the critter and
my back does not bend, any, at all, none, nada!

I second XS11's sentiments and also have a question for him; How do you
manage to get in and out of a Miata with that serious of back problem? Glad
you can, just wonder how you manage.

I don't want to sound hard, but, I was in a very bad airplane crash
some years ago and my neck C-4,-5,-6 are fused, my lower back is fused
L-4,-5 with metal inside and last year I had my left hip replaced. I
need my knees replaced , but I am resisting that for now. I don't get
in or out of my 2003 LS, but "I AIN'T given her up!! " It just feels
too good after I'm in to drive anything else. Some times you just have
to put up with a little pain to enjoy life for this one time I have on
this earth. Sell your MIATA ? Come on !!!

Bruce Haskin , oh yah, I am also 75 years old.too :-).

No problem, I back up to the car, sit on the seat, pivot, lean in and
swing my legs in, I have more room between the seat and the edge of the
roof than I did in the XJS. It's even easier with the top down!

Is there such thing as an airplane crash that is not too bad? :-)

Was this in a small plane? Just curious.

I have my Miata running nicely again, brakes finished, it just needs
tires, registration, inspection and insurance, no problem. Oh yeah, I
need to replace the top too.

6 months of driving only the Honda Accord has taken a toll, I can't wait
to have the Miata back on the road!

OK - You have me beat by 20 years and several injuries. In fact, I'm a
pilot as well, and I would not sell my plane as long as someone can
lower me into the thing with a crane, etc.! Still, I replaced the Miata
with a Mini Cooper S, which I fall into and out of very easily and gives
the same basic driving thrill as the Miata. (But not the
wind-in-the-face. Oh well.)

I've owned Miatas since they came out in 1990 and love them. Before
that I owned Triumphs, Datsun Roadsters and Z cars, and a Fiat Spyder.
The front drive Mini is a departure for me, but I'm getting used to it.

So - the Miata must go. The insurance and registration is due in the
next month and I don't want to shell out any more cash to the state than
I have to. If someone wants a great deal, give me a call.

Mike
ps: What did/do you fly? I've presently got a 1979 Piper Tomahawk.

Bruce, you are a true Miataphile! Glad you can stick with it! Our Buddy Mike
is no less a car lover, it seems, he's just a bit more 'practical' minded.
Rock on bud!
