Scott,

Here in Edmonton at Sundance Mazda's there is a '90 with 20K Km on it.
They are asking $14,900 but I pushed them on it (as I was interested) and
got them down to $12,000 plus GST.  If they had absorbed the GST I would
have bought it.  They've had it about 4 months so maybe they'd be
interested.

I would wonder if a car that's got only 7K Km would be ok.  That's
practically stored.  I wonder if the seals aren't likely to be problematic
cause they're dried out.  I haven't been a Miata owner for long, but I find
it such a well built car that I wouldn't worry about a car with 50-75K on
it.  Not enough so to pay such a premium.  You could probably buy the same
car with 75K km for $10,000.  And I think you'd have quite a nice car.



Good luck,

Jerry

P.S. Let me know how you make out.
