lots of people are overpricing miatas
basically you need to either
>watch all miata listings like a hawk, check every 6 hours
>be ready to go out and look at and buy one with a day's notice if it's a good price and looks good. That car will be gone within 48 hours i guarantee it
>watch the fucking stupid overpriced miatas languish at their dumb prices for a month, then meet the seller and save 20% less cash in their face and they'll probably take it.

it's a self repeating cycle, sellers see these month old listings at stupidly high prices and think "oh it's worth that much", without realizing how old the listing is and listings more than a few days old are overpriced by definition

But I don't want a miata, miata's are really cheap here that's not an issue

>just broaden your search to be across the continent!

>>15302039
Why the actual fuck would you want an mx6. Hideous vehicles.

>>15302519
because they're fucking great?

>>15302518
I've flown to another state to buy a car that I had never in person and drove it back home.

I guess you don't want it bad enough though.

>>15302661
Yeah I dont. I'm fucking poor and have other obligations
>flying to another state is the same as going across the continent

>>15302669
Jesus you're dense. I'm not saying to buy that exact car, but you might need to venture out further than your state.

Buy a civic and shut up

>>15302689
Stop being such a dick? Jesus christ you people have the biggest fuckin chips on your shoulder. Chill out.
relaaaaaaaaaaaax

>>15302697
>waaaah I can't find a car
>waaaah I'm too poor to buy a decent example of one

Sounds like you need to rethink your priorities and buy something responsible.

>>15302780
It's too much for an MX-6 and the ad is in spanish

This is literally a Corey thread.

>>15302807
It's not. This isn't meant to be like that

>>15302784
sounds to me like you cant pay what the average mx6 owner is asking

i would use the oppertunity of me being the only seriously interested non minority with cash on hand would put me into a position of power while negociating because my grasp of the english language is better i can smooth talk them into a deal more easily

OP, we are just trying to help. I've been in your situation plenty of times, searching for the perfect shitbox with a manual transmission. I'm the guy that flew to Oregon for a Neon ACR.

I also found the perfect miata being sold with the original owner and factory mariner blue hardtop. We agreed on a price and a date for me to pick up the car. The night before I was going to pick it up the guy called me and told me he sold it because someone offered $200 more.

I almost cried.

>>15302819
That is not the average price of the MX-6 anon.

It's closer to 2500
