I've always liked Miatas and I finally bought one for a daily driver. Extremely fun to drive. I can't believe how low it is. The roof only reaches the bottom of the windows on the Jeep, and even normal sedans seem high up.

Here it is next to my XJ.
Front
Side

Good:
It's in good condition mechanically, with a year old clutch and new rear main seal.
It seems to have been well maintained-- The single owner was a girl who was obsessive about getting stuff done.
Pretty new hardtop (they're worth $800+ used)
97k miles
It's awesome seeing the popup headlights go up and down.

Bad:
Soft top has a slash from a burglar or malevolent idiot-- should be patchable
Parking lot dents on the left side-- they'll buff right out

I have a 2001 and now I wish I would have gotten the NA body with a hard top (now that it's winter)

I have the same year and color but without the hardtop. The paint is in terrible shape but I paid $3000.

Odly enough, I recently had the same dent you have on your driver fender added by a woman driver in a Toyota Tundra. Looks much worse than your dent lol.
