Okay guys heres the story, i started dating this chick, and it turns out her dad has a red 1991 (not positive) Miata with only 75k on it. The car is missing the A/C (how much would a replacement be?) the radio doesnt really work, and the air bag light is flashing. Now, i know its homo as hell, but just bare with me.
Just between us forum folks, last Saturday i worked on her car (changed plugs, reset ecu, etc...) and we were talking about the Miata and he just asks me of i want to drive it round the block. So i told him "I dont actually have my lisence yet" and he replied "Oh just take it round the block". So as not to be rude lol, i did. He let me drive it without him in the car, just me and his daughter.
Needless to say i had a ****ing BLAST with it. It was FUN as balls let me tell you. It reminded me of my karting days... I had the biggest smile on my face. The only complaint i had, is the space, and the brakes felt a little spongy and vague, and it could do just fine without power steering.
Anyways, i was just wondering what you guys thought about it. I know its homo as hell... but i never realised they drove that well. Im also curious as to what the actual value of the car is, keeping those minor issues in mind.
So whatcha think?!

sounds pretty good to me. also seeing that u want a car and dont have one. not sure but i think an AC would cost around 700-1000 just a rough area of wut i think unless you do the labor urself. my neighbor has a miata and loves it so i guess it would be a good car

Just kbb it and find out the retail value. I have never been a big fan of the older miatas, the newer ones dont bug me to much. But hey if the price is right and you enjoy the car, i say go for it.

I dont think the ac would be that much, but it does depend on what needs to be replaced. Now when you say its missing the ac do you mean it doesnt work, or is not in the car.
