Looking to buy 1991 1.8 liter turbo miata
I have a chance to buy the following car. It has fairly high miles, but
almost every mod has been done in the last 1 to 2 years, with the engine and turbo being done this summer, and the car is in great condition, a couple of dings and small scratches, no accidents. It feels better to drive than any miata I have driven so far. He has receipts for all of the parts and 3000 mile oil changes with Mobile 1, and he has done most of the labor himself. By the looks of the installation, he obviously knows what he is doing when building a car. So the questions is, what sort of price range should I offer as a final high offer?

keep us posted, it sounds like a serious car. If you trust the workmanship,
modified cars can be quite a bargain, seems mods add as much risk for the buyer, to offset thier cost. In other words you get 'um for free!
