There is a 1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata for sale that is in excellent condition and has only 11,500 miles on it. This low mileage example has been in the same family since new, which is proof of the car’s lasting popularity.

The roadster was bought by the seller’s late father in law and is currently looking for a new home that values its timeless style and immaculate condition. The MX-5 Miata, a beloved sports car inspired by iconic British models like the Lotus Elan, has a loyal following.

This particular car, finished in Classic Red, boasts a clean exterior and undercarriage, reflecting its well maintained history. Equipped with the B Package, it offers features like power windows, headrest speakers, and cruise control. The car also comes with a clean title and a Carfax report detailing its ownership history.

Purchased new in June 1989 with only 15 miles on the odometer, it has been carefully maintained and recently underwent a thorough refurbishment. While the car’s exterior has been repainted, it remains in excellent condition and is sure to bring joy to its new owner.

The recent replacement of brake pads, rotors, spark plugs, fuel pump, tank, and fuel lines ensures that the Miata is in top mechanical condition. Despite the red overspray on the muffler, rear control arms, and engine undershield, the car’s appearance is impressive.

The absence of a front sticker and the red lower rockers suggest that the paintwork is not original, but this does not detract from the car’s appeal. The current bidding price of $8,050 suggests that this classic sports car may surpass its original retail value.

Given the Miata’s popularity and the increasing demand for well maintained classic cars, it is possible that the final sale price will exceed the adjusted inflation adjusted value of $35,035 in 2024.
