I'm sure y'all have seen this. What's the consensus on actual worth? Guy seems to be at $7500 firm right now. That seems too high. 109k miles.

Vivid Yellow. no TP. from a dealer? If he has some maintenance records, that's not terrible. A little high? Maybe, but not "no thanks, I'll keep looking for a Vivid Yellow somewhere else" high. Cars like the, especially in SE form, you buy, drive, and enjoy. In a year you won't be thinking "darn, I really paid $800 more than I should have"

I agree with hal1, price looks appropriate. These yellows always look better with a black gut, which this has.
Since it is a dealer, perhaps you could get a few hundred off, but it may not last too long.

I absolutely agree with the above two posts. It is a fair asking price and that color is so great over a black interior.

Agree w Hal, but the SE is Blazing yellow, not Vivid. Vivid yellow is much more rare (only 239 made) and arguably the nicer yellow. But this one's Winter - priced (if the undercarriage is clean).

If that was Vivid Yellow (Sunburst HZ code) in that configuration it would have been gone within five minutes of being posted. It certainly isn't photographing like Blazing Yellow, looks much more like Vivid but the SE was Blazing.

Not so sure Tom it would be gone in 5 min in Western MA in the heart of Winter?
The two colors are only easily discernible from one another when they are side by side in person (under the same light). The Blazing yellow looks rather pale by comparison. The Vivid yellow looks, well, more Vivid to me :D Sadly, seems most of the Vivid Yellow came with tan interior and top and that just doesn't work well together.
Vivid yellow from BaT:

That's a Blazing Yellow. I sold mine with 49k for about that 2 - 3 years ago. That configuration without the tupperware is relatively rare. I think the price is about right if it isn't rusty.

Looks about right for a northeast Miata. I think I see some rust on the driver rear wheel well.

Nobody notice that the description says automatic. You folks usually pile on hard about that option.

Correct. I haven't seen it yet, just asked for photos.
I can only use my imagination about the front frame rails. They're probably bad with this much surface rust on everything.

Meh, photos say 6 speed so I let it slide.

Yeah, I see the inner fender lip, appears to be separating. A classic sign of rust inside.
Proceed with caution.
