good deal chris......

When the Miata came out it was under 15k..now its 30k and its the same CAR!!!!

Why would I pay double for the same shit? At least the Americans make the cars totally different.

Yeah...and if, in 1990, you had suggested that a decently equipped Chevy half ton could go for $30k, heads would have spun. It's still just a truck.

It has actually changed a lot.
New engine and tranny.
New suspension
Entire new platform a few years back.


Check out some MazdaSpeed parts for it... still covered under warranty.

Yeah, but they look different!

The thing with the Japanese is that they usually won't change designs unless they are pressured by marketing to do so.

I dunno about you but I can see very distinct differences between a 90's Miata and the current one. :idk:
Then again, I actually like Miatas so maybe I just pay more attention to them than you do.

Never mind that the Accord, Civic and Camry get changed every 3 yrs minimum?

How often does the Vette get changed? Once every 9-10 yrs?

yeah, it's not like a 6sp tranny should cost more then a 5 spd.

my '94 miata was in the $18's..........

Exactly!!!

I SOOOO agreee with you..

Like a 1990 Corvette went for 32K back in 1990 and now it goes for like what 60K-70K

OMG!!!! It's the same car!!!




anyways......

5K discount eh...
Miata's start at 22K so if there are any base model lying around that's a hell of a deal
