ok checked out links, thats normal stuff that any smart person would check, ...lol.... i hope so anyways.

Let me re-phrase this.... are there any unusual things that go wrong with this car, that i may not notice with a general inspection.

This is two weeks old but if you are still thinking about the car...the 1990-1991.5 have a crank problem. I've been there. Some have had the problem, some haven't. If you do get the car, search short nose crank on miata.net. Do the "loc-tite fix" before you have to replace the keyway and it shouldn't be a problem.
