Seller's Description

Local man insists this is "not just a car, it's a lifestyle." Documented tire rotations. Seller describes himself as a "steward" of the vehicle.

The seller of this 1999 Mazda Miata would like you to understand, before you read anything else, that this is not just a car. It is a lifestyle. He has written this in the listing title, the listing body, and in response to every comment that has asked about the price.

"People who don't understand Miatas don't understand what they're looking at," the seller writes. "This isn't transportation. This is a philosophy."

The philosophy has 94,100 miles on it. The seller has documented every tire rotation since 2017, which he describes as "a commitment to the relationship." There are 14 documented tire rotations. The seller considers this "thorough."

The soft top was replaced in 2021 with what the seller calls "a premium aftermarket unit" that he sourced from a vendor he found "through the community." He declines to name the vendor but describes the top as "better than OEM in every way that matters."

"Investment grade" appears in the listing title. When asked to clarify what this means for a 1999 Miata with 94,000 miles, the seller cited the "trajectory of the NA market" and a forum post from 2020 that he describes as "prescient."

No reserve. The seller is a steward, not an owner. Stewards do not set reserves.
