I stopped by to visit this old man's place and saw he had a 1997 Mazda Miata for sale. No power anything but steering. The car needed an A/C charge, new brakes, and an allignment. The car has only 48k miles on it! Paint was great and there was only one door ding on the whole thing. I ran a carfax and it said it has been in two accidents in New York, was wondering if this still counts as a "clean" title.
Asking price: $6000
