1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata

1997 Mazda Miata Nearly 100% stock. The car is originally from Los Angeles and never driven in snow. Not even once. The underside of this car looks nearly brand new besides some light surface rust on the exhaust. This car has been my baby since I bought it in 2016, as evidenced by the work Ive done to it described below. ## The good, and some maintenance history- Comes with service records from previous owners. - Cruise control, air conditioning, and power steering all work perfectly. - Oil was changed every spring immediately after coming out of storage with full synthetic 10W-30 and an extended performance oil filter. Engine never saw more than 7000 miles in a summer under my ownership, most saw less than 5000. Top of the engine has been clean as a whistle every time Ive pulled the valve cover off and oil is always clean during the oil changes. - Nearly 100% rust-free. Its seriously the easiest car Ive ever worked on because every bolt comes loose without needing to be sprayed with PB Blaster or WD-40. - Aftermarket keyless entry works great! Installed myself in 2017. - Seats were re-upholstered (with upholstery from a different NA Miata) in winter 2018 and have been essentially rip free ever since. - Sound deadening material all around interior to reduce echos and road noise installed in 2021. - Heater core upgraded to NB Miata heater core in 2021, which is easier to replace and made out of aluminum instead of copper - Dashboard replaced in spring 2021 and installed with insulating material to prevent rattles. Original dashboard was cracked and the rattling drove me nuts. VIN tag was transferred over to the new dash and looks factory. - Newer Alpine stereo installed in 2021 with Bluetooth, aux, and USB inputs. Speakers in doors and seat headrests were all upgraded over lifetime of vehicle ownership and everything works perfectly. If you install a small under-seat subwoofer behind the driver seat, this car would jam even with the top down at highway speeds.
