Hello,
i'm thinking of buying a used miata. 8 - 10 years old with low miles. I've only bought Toyotas and hondas the last 20 years or so. i'm used to cars lasting until 150 - 200k miles with no major problems. I've read that Miatas longterm reliability is really good too. Just wondering how these cars are holding up from 100 - 200k.
Thanks
Well, my Miata is almost 16 years old and has around 107,000 on her so far. With proper maintenance and timely oil changes, I expect her to last for
250,000+ miles with no major problems. One of our local club members has over that on his 1991 and has had NO major repairs - just normal maintenance.Iva & Belle.) '90B Classic Red.) #3 winkin' Miata
Miata.net used to have a "checklist" of items to inspect before buying a used Miata. I found it useful.
Best of luck.
Reliability is excellent but the less obvious beauty is simplicity design and manufacture. There's between little and nothing that I wouldn't feel comfortable doing myself on these cars. It's no small thing that lots of help is readily available here and on miata.net. Do some browsing there, I think you'll like it.
