1990 Mazda Miata A package  
124,xxx miles

The Good:  
Runs Great  
Drives even better  
Stops well  
Decent top  
5 Speed (shifts great)  
Clutch grabs well

The Bad:  
Some rust on the rocker panels in front of the rear wheels (typical for these cars due to plugged drains)  
Light hail damage from the storm this past Spring  
Parking brake does not work  
Needs an inspection sticker  
The ignition switch is worn and the key must be wiggled a little to use the wipers and blower fan.  
Also, the car has a crankshaft issue described here in this How-to procedure:

[http://www.miata.net/garage/hsue/LoctiteCrank1.html](http://www.miata.net/garage/hsue/LoctiteCrank1.html)

I haven’t performed the procedure, I remedied the issue by simply adjusting the pulley to the correct position and torquing the bolt correctly. If i were keeping the car, I would perform the procedure, when replacing the timing belt, and front main seal.

I reduced the price because I purchased another Miata, and need the space/money.

This car is for someone who is not afraid to turn a wrench. It’s a great car to work on, and is wonderful to drive.

Come look at it/drive it. It sounds much worse in this ad than it actually is. You aren’t likely going to find a more affordable running and driving Miata.

Here is all i have that is fairly recent. I am probably not going to add more photos, because I am really busy and left my camera at work.

Come look/drive it. I’ll take the first reasonable offer.
