Finally got my Miata

:
2013 Mazda CX-5, 2.0 Manual Transmission, 1989 Mazda MX-6
After a year and a half of searching. The price people want for their Miata's here in Portland is incredible. Most are at least double book value. At book value expect to get complete junk.
I had to drive 3 hours away to get a decent deal.
This is a 2003 Club Sport. Seems there was only 50 made. So little information is out there for this edition. I could not even get a NADA or Blue book value on the car because they do not have enough data. The car came from the factory with no radio, no A/C, no power steering, Bilstein struts, LSD, and upgraded suspension. Think 94 or 95 miata type R. From what I understand it has extra bracing, but not sure if more than the other 2003 models. But when I drive it I do not hear any rattles and feels very solid. The handling on this car is incredible, as is the tire grip. I have not really pushed it hard, but going around a corner, shifting to second and punching it while pulling out the clutch will not even chirp the tires. It just grabs and goes. I would expect maybe a little slide and squeal, but nothing. Guess I will really have to push it a lot further to do that, but not willing to.
