Limited Edition 1993 Mazda Miata LE, #626/1500, black w/ red leather, new top

1993 Mazda MX-5 Miata Description

I am a car collector selling one of my two first generation Miata's. I have 10 classic cars and never have the time to drive them as much as I'd like. This 1993 Miata LE is considered to be one of the most rare and coveted of the early limited edition cars. It is the only first generation Miata that offered red leather. As per a plaque on the console, this is build #626 of 1,500 made. All of my cars are lightly driven, pampered and always garaged.
The "buy it now" price is $3,000 less than I have in it. My loss is your gain.
The basics:
*164,137 miles5-speed manual transmission*Nearly new Fuzion H1 tires all around*Original BBS wheels with caps in very good condition*original owners manual with two sets of keys* includes original red Miata carpeted floor mats, two working original Ltd edition radios*chrome roll bar*The entire car was professionally repainted three years ago by the previous owner to address typical nicks, scratches and fading issues inherent with black cars. No rust!* The interior is excellent. No rips or tears in seats but minor wear on bolsters, light sun fading of carpet on rear deck lid (see photos)
This summer I spent over $4,000 attending to any and all maintenance needs on this car (details below):Virginia State inspection (6/2017)timing belt/water pump changea/c converted to R134 and chargednew professionally installed vinyl convertible top with permanent rear vinyl windowduring the timing belt change: replaced keyway and drive/crank pulleyscomplete tune-up (plugs, wires, air filter, O2 sensor)new thermostatfresh coolant flushoil/filter changenew steering rack bootadjusted e-brake with new brake caliperinstalled new front grille side mounted license plate framenew Dual cd stereonew door speakers (headrest speakers in good shape)replaced firm riding Bilstein shocks/springs factory set-up with new factory spec shocks/springs (original Bilsteins and springs come with the car)Front endalignment
This is a great running, great riding Miata that will only increase in value. The electric radio antenna motor is running but will not completely collapse. I have it set in the permanently "up" position. The car is located in Earlysville, Va., only a few miles from the airport in Charlottesville, Va (about 2 hours drive southwest of Washington DC). Fly in and drive it home or I am happy to work with your shipper. Email any questions through Ebay mail system and I will respond asap. Local inspections encouraged with appointment.
The offered price is way below my investment. I don't need to sell it. Interested buyers with less than 10 feedback scores on Ebay, please contact me before bidding.
