Well i was just wondering what a good price is for a 1999 mazda miata mx-5?

Miles: 30,114
Drivetrain: RWD/ 5 speed
Convertable
Power locks, power windows, 16" alloy wheels, cd/am/fm player.

What would i expect to pay?

2

8-9k

3

WOW thats crazy, 5-6500 is the range they are selling for but is that a good price range?

4

this might be a stupid question, but did you look at book value and the going rate on miata forums??

5

book was between 5,600-6,600 exe condition was 6600
dont know of any miata fourms.

I personally think there is much better options out there for the price, not saying its a bad car at all, you just gotta look around some :slight_smile:

Well whichever way you go, good luck!

Take whatever the going rate is around the country and add 2K for being “Western New York: The land of the overpriced cars”. That should be around the right price unless you get lucky and find someone that needs to get rid of it quick. Since a car like that is a luxury around here that’s not very likely. Your best bet is to find one on miata.net and travel to pick it up. For that one you posted, as other said, they’ll get 8-9k for it because of the low miles unless it’s in WNY add 2k.

i got mine for over blue book in spring last year. DUH

But i LOVE it. This is coming from a honda fanboy

I wouldn’t say overpriced. I would say “WNY- beaten and rotted out” or “where ppl want something for nothing”. In demand, not rotten or beaten all to hell, cars will pull a premium in NYS.

For example, a clean, well kept, Miata will go for far less in the South than one in NY. Why? Because well kept, clean ones are easy to find in the South as opposed to the salt ridden NE.

In demand or not, I have yet to see a car around here not rotten or beaten all to hell that I couldn’t buy elsewhere much cheaper. Hell even Rochester has significantly lower prices on cars than Buffalo in my experience… /rant over

edit: 2 summers ago

i would look into the '99 they had an issue that year with the #4 bearing that car has so few miles on it that it could have this issue lurking in the near future.
