I got the car in 2012 with a bad engine in need of restoration, so a lot of recent maintenance has been done on the car. Please read on. (I WOULD CONSIDER A TRADE FOR 2006+ Mazda Miata Mx5) It is a troublefree car ready to go, with only a few exterior imperfections. Mechanically in excellent conditon. Ready for a test drive.

The sports package includes: self-leveling HID headlights, fog lights, dynamic stability control, strut brace, 18" wheels, larger front brakes and sports suspension The appearance package includes: front air dam and side and rear flares

The bad

• Cracked windshield. Cracked this winter from the cold
• A few scuffs and scratches as you can see. Rear bumper was repaired but not painted
• The car was involved in an accident in 2008 (according to the CarFax report) and has a rebuilt title. Contact me for copy of the carfax report.

The car is completely stock except for the following mods:

• SOHN OMP Adapter - Plate to allow the car to burn fresh 2-stroke oil (which is meant to be burned), rather than used, dirty engine oil as originally designed. These cars need to burn oil to lubricate themselves. If you are not familiar with rotary engines, read up on this. This is by far the best upgrade you can do to ensure longivity of a rotary engine.
• Auto dimable rear view mirror with home link (to open your garage door)
• Professionally installed bluetooth kit from GROM Audio with AUX cable and USB as well, connected to steering wheel controls
