NA Miatas are becoming rarer, especially if yours is not modified to hell and back. And collector car prices have been climbing a lot recently.

  Sure, but mine is a ~350k mile piece of shit with a salvage title after someone T-boned it at low speed, and I haven't made any real attempt to repair that damage. Nobody in their right mind looks at my Miata and thinks "collector car!"

    No rust? In todays Miata market? 3k. Back in 2016, 3k was a clean sub 100k mi Miata

    Someone wants to build an Exocet or a Miata-kart out of it. I think that's where a lot of them have gone.

      These are usually quite obviously parents with a newly licensed kid anxiously watching the interaction from the back seat. But yeah, occasionally it's a gearhead who wants to do something like that - it's the exception though. Those instances we end up talking shop, and that's kind of always been a thing (I've driven Miatas for over a decade, this is my third). The ~recent thing is the parents harassing me, it's like they can't find cheap first cars for their newly licensed children.
