Not a bad deal for a Laser Blue 2002. IIRC there were only like 155 of them made, and finding one with the full appearance pkg. is very rare, i've only seen 2...and this is #2. I've also seen this car in person and it was rather clean sans a few door dings that a PDR guy could fix.

2002 Mada Miata LS Garage kept~ One of a kind in Atlanta!

Exterior: Blue
Top: Tan
Interior: Tan
Mileage: +/- 64,000

I saw that, tried convincing Brittney to buy it, but no go. :(

The wing...is umm...okay....well, ugly. :lol:
It is an unusual color for sure. I am not a big fan that kind of blue personally...it reminds me too much of the Plymouth Valiants my dad used to drive. hehehe and I am not feeling the tan in combo with it at all. Black seems to work much better. Ok, is that enough negativity?? :lol:

There are some nice low mile NBs out there these days...and reasonably priced.
IMHO the NB market is sliding downward fast. I have seen it in the NB race parts realm too.
Its a good time to buy one for the NB fan.

Yeah, i'm not a fan of the leather/tan, but that can be changed out pretty easily. The wing is OEM option....but i'm sure you knew that ;)

I tried so hard to find a Laser Blue when I was car shopping last year.

I'm convinced NB's are better value buys than NA's nowadays. Asides from some of the crazy bargains a few people here get.

That depends on what you mean by "value".
I'd much rather buy a car that has bottomed out in value or is going up in value (as NAs are) as opposed to one that is still experiencing value decline...and will continue too...as NBs.
But, if one really likes NBs and wants a clean low mile example there has never been a better time to buy.
I would happily trade my NB for an NA. ;)

Well that is true. An NA would work out better seen as they've hit the price floor already and seem to be bouncing back a little bit. I'm looking at it from more of a mile/year to price kind of value. When you see a car that's nearly 10 years older going for only a little less I think it seems as if the NB are more car for your money at the time.

Yep. I understand that completely.

There is one in Athens an old lady drives, I can't stand that appearance.
