The 10th Ani versions are nice. Alcantara, LSD, 6 speed 'box, etc.

I have a 91, in which I found to have a oil leak problem and now see that the VIN is the dreaded ones. I had a 95 before this too. sold for $2400 it had a really bad oil leak(1 qt /wk) that couldn't be fixed with seals and needed a new engine.
I got my 91 for only $1200. Here's a pic

Well for $1200 and it appears to be in pretty good shape you can replace the engine and still have a damn good deal. Rare to find them for that cheap. Somebody got a good deal on the 95 you sold too especially if they bought the 99 for $600. Then miatas are a hell of a lot easier to find in Cali then Wv.
