Assuming that the engine isn't about to die I'd say you got a smashing deal on it. $4k for a 90k 1996 with an SC. Not too bad. Now, I wouldn't pickup girls in it, and don't show the car off to people you know, but if you drive around town in areas where nobody recognizes you, it should be fun.

Why are some people calling this a chick car? It might have a small appearance but that is what makes the car great.

Not this again. Time and time again people call it a chick car. You don't even need to logically argue it with them. The fact that everybody thinks it is one makes it so. I've seen a bumper sticker that says "I'm not gay, but my miata is" The case is closed: It's a chick car. BIG TIME. Yes, it's fun, but it's still a chick car.

I would like to own a supercharged miata, but only because I don't need to pick up chicks, and the wedding rings slightly counters the big gay impressions of a miata.

Well, if you're over 40, it's more of a "mid life crisis" car 🙂 I'm thinking of getting a TR-6 or a MGB. You can get one fully restored for under $8000. Pretty cool roadster experience without the gay overtones heheh.

Yeah those cars are not as gay but really say "God, where has my life gone?" when driven by a potbellied middle aged man with gray, balding hair.
