Hello Miata Lovers,
I currently own (and love) a 1990 Miata, but am ready for an upgrade. I can't afford a brand new car, so would like some advice, pros/cons on later year models. Owners help me out?

I have a '95 with 59,019 miles on it. I'm only selling it to get a new one.
Maintained by Tri-Point Engineering (sponsor of Miata 6 and 3 race teams)
Never raced, autocrossed or abused
Major tuneup performed at 58k miles
60k done, incl water pump, all hoses, all belts...and I mean all.
new radiator (when they get discolored, it's time to replace)
new top with glass window 2 years ago. (old one was fine, but I really wanted the glass window)
Koni coilovers (adjustable)
Goodyear Z1 tires
Borbet wheels
just had a new windshield installed (before I decided to sell)
I'm a bit of a detail freak and maintenance hound.
Work I've had done as preventative maintenance in order done:
Switched to Red Line Oil (highly recommended)
Koni coilovers and tires
New top
Replaced front wheel hubs (preventative since it doesn't get the driving time) To show how I drive, the rear brakes pads are still original!
Major 30k tuneup
Replaced all hoses and belts, with new radiator (Tri-Point really kept stressing it's time to change when color of the plastic starts to change to avoid failure)
60k timing belt (must do - I did it 2000 miles early out of an abundance of caution)
New windshield
NONE of these things have been done after problems, all before.
(I'm big on preventative maintenance and detailing appearance)
The color is red, outstanding shape.
Interior carpet is perfect (no stains) Trunk: same
Engine always detailed, both professionally and by me
Paint, I detail by hand with clay, etc.
I think that's it. I am only selling Princess since I'm not getting any younger and need an automatic, so a new car. This is my second one, and I really believe they are fantastic cars.
If you'd like pictures, I'll send. I am asking 6K for her. It's fair for this low mileage and condition. Best of luck!
