The 91 Miata:=20

The car is a 1991 Blue Miata with 84,000 miles on the engine. I switched =
to synthetic oil @ about 30,000 miles. The car doesn't burn any oil. In =
fact, the oil looks like brand new petroleum based oil when I go to =
change it at the 3000 interval. I have also used Mobil I synthetic in =
the tranny & differential since that time. I have tried to change the =
tranny & diff. oil every 2 years or so. Although I do tend to use the =
entire rpm range, I have never side stepped the clutch. It hasn't ever =
been raced in any fashion. (On or off the street) I changed the timing =
belt at about 55,000 miles. I also changed the front crank shaft seal, =
the front cam shaft seals, all the belts, all the hoses, valve cover =
seal, & thermostat (none were leaking, all preventative). The car is in =
very good condition. I wouldn't describe it as "mint" though. It is an 8 =
year old car. It has always been kept in the garage, when at home. I'm =
asking $8500 for the car. The car has the following items installed on =
it:=20

    a.. Racing Beat Style I bar (Roll Bar)=20
    b.. Brand new black vinyl top with glass rear window=20
    c.. Aluminum threshold kick plates=20
    d.. Sebring SC with MSD unit installed=20
    e.. Cannon Subframe brace=20
    f.. Racing Beat front subframe brace=20
    g.. Installed a MAX-5 high performance copper clutch about a year =
ago. (Also changed rear crank shaft seal, throwout bearing, & pilot =
bearing for preventive reasons.=20
    h.. Has 14" M-Edition chrome alloy wheels with Dunlop D60 A2's that =
have about 10-15k miles on them=20
    i.. It has a very nice sound system, but I will probably keep the CD =
changer. (2 Alpine amps, Sony CD player head unit, Boston Acoustics in =
the doors, & phase linear in the head rests) ALL professionally =
installed by Sound Advice.=20
    j.. The black vinyl boot is in excellent condition.=20
    k.. I have a Wolf Braw for it. (I only used it during love bug =
season)=20
    l.. I recently installed a JR exhaust on the car, but I haven't been =
able to completely eliminate clearance issues with the rear subframe =
brace. I'm sure that this could be rectified easily by a muffler shop. =
(I have original exhaust also)=20
    m.. I have a used high performance CAT that I haven't had time to =
install.=20
    n.. It has a lighted rearview mirror installed.=20
    o.. It also has a trunk light with mercury switch installed.=20

    s.. It has 8mm lifetime NAPA plug wires.=20
    t.. It has mud guards behind all 4 tires. (Factory issue)=20
    u.. I believe that I have all of the original stock parts.=20
I probably forgot a few items, but that should just about cover most. I =

parts. I have performed 95% of the maintenance on the car (I don't trust =
anyone else on my vehicles).=20

Sincerely,=20
