My dad gave me his Miata. He has a long history of giving me cars. He doesn’t like selling them. I think it’s because there’s always little things wrong with them and he feels guilty about selling something that isn’t perfect and he knows I can fix them, so he just gives them to me. There was a 1984 Plymouth Reliant, a 1987 Mazda B2200 2WD pickup that said WordPerfect Corporation on the doors, a 1991 SHO Taurus I wish I had kept and now a 1994 Miata.
To him, I think it was just another 30 year old car with 185k on the clock and a squeaky speedo cable. I don’t know if he knew these cars in this condition are going for $8-10k on KSL. It had been garaged the whole time he had it (20 years) and was mostly a weekend car. It has a couple paint chips and some peeling on the bumper cover. Very nice shape otherwise.
It showed up in my driveway on the day the registration expired where he told me he’d lost the title when he moved and it would take him a while to find it.
I pushed it into a corner of the garage where it sat for almost a year. It’s bone stock.
