Subject: Is this too good to be true??  (buying a used miata)

To the collective and infintie miata intelligence:



I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback anyone can give me....

I found a 1994 Miata in the Locator on Saturday...it said 60K miles, and

$6,995!!!!!!

i thought for sure it was a misprint, but it was the correct price, a 94 with

the A package, but it has been wrecked...a hit in the left rear, and has been

repaired.

Went out to look at it today, and this is where i need help...there were many

little things wrong with the car:

There are 2 small dents in the front fender...

The car was wrecked in the Left Rear, and that is where most of the minor

flaws are:

1) the piece right between the trunk lid and the bumper is not flush with the

trunk lid, it sticks out about .5"  

2) the driver side door doesnt line up correctly, it looks to be off just a

LITTLE, but it is noticable, when comparing it to the door of another miata

sitting beside it

3) the seals on the door dont look like they were replaced correctly, will

this cause a water problem??  is this just a simple fix to glue them down??



Do these things possibly say that there might be more 'hidden' things wrong

with the car, they all seem to be minor, but it makes me a little

cautious...i want my new baby to be perfect!!!!



THANKS A LOT for any info and opinions!!!!!

Sincerely, 



Ben Foltz

Team - I hope I found my Miata !!!
