Oh BOY!! We just acquired my brother-in- law's 1990 (11/6/1989) Miata - white, low miles (8824 real miles), and it had it's first visit to our trustworthy mechanic ... "This car is still new (!) and needs to be driven regularly", he said, and we intend to. First repairs included: front main seal, timing belt, water pump, all belts, new thermostat and antifreeze; brakes AOK, hoses OK, a/c ? tires OK ... now we drive for awhile and see what's next ... 8^)

Really Old MX5

Bought it very well used, spent a lot rebuilding it. Had 145,000 miles and little maintenance had been done Have put about 25K miles on it since. Still less than price of a new car, 30 plus MPG isn't bad. Hope to drive it a few more years, but who knows. This is a really nice little car. Someone got it right when they built this one.

This is one of the most enjoyable cars I have ever driven. It corners easily at high speed and sounds great. Even at 109,000 miles, it still runs strong.

I bought this car after wanting one for 4 years, and it was the best purchase of my life... even with the high mileage, the car looks and drives wonderfully, and i still have yet to go past 6000 rpm...

Bought my 90 miata in 96 for $10,500 CND sold it this year for $8,500 CND, you do the math. Amazingly reliable, more fun than what is legally allowed in Canada. The best car that I have ever owned. Engines are very strong and keep going going it porperly maintained.
