asking for advice

[hamdi]

After a long hunt for a Miata , I just found one that seems to be good : 1999 Model , with 96K miles , looks clean but comes with NO air conditionning ! (seller told me its the basic model and there is no air conditionning on it , even if I saw the A/C knob on the car 0

Seller asking for 6000$ .

What do you think ?is it a good deal ?
Sorry for my question , i am buying my first car ! and do not know too much about cars.
I will appreciate any advice.

Hi "H" and welcome to Miataland! According to Kelley Blue Book that sounds like a reasonable number. Have you driven it?

KBB results (private party value):

Excellent Condition - $7,355
"Excellent" condition means that the vehicle looks new, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning. This vehicle has never had any paint or body work and is free of rust. The vehicle has a clean title history and will pass a smog and safety inspection. The engine compartment is clean, with no fluid leaks and is free of any wear or visible defects. The vehicle also has complete and verifiable service records. Less than 5% of all used vehicles fall into this category.

Good Condition - $6,755
"Good" condition means that the vehicle is free of any major defects. This vehicle has a clean title history, the paint, body and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems. There should be little or no rust on this vehicle. The tires match and have substantial tread wear left. A "good" vehicle will need some reconditioning to be sold at retail. Most consumer owned vehicles fall into this category.

Fair Condition - $5,975
"Fair" condition means that the vehicle has some mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing but is still in reasonable running condition. This vehicle has a clean title history, the paint, body and/or interior need work performed by a professional. The tires may need to be replaced. There may be some repairable rust damage.

Thank you roadster1200xl ,

I think the car is in good condition but the car does not have an A/C just fan .
I am thinking about selling it ( I will be moving from here in two years )
I dont know if I can sell it without a/C .
the A/c itself will cost 1500 to install .

I drove the car , it is ok .

Thanks ,
hamdi

I know there are people in our club that don't have A/C in their cars. Personally, I wouldn't have one without it but it shows you that some people will be interested.
