I assume he meant $14,000 plus his MX-6, which would probably be about right.
#22 of 4340 that's what I wanted know by amishra Feb 25, 2000 (2:34 am)
(and I came back - what do you know...) I'm trying it with the top down on Saturday. Is AC really needed on a convertible, or can I save that extra money. Oh and the 14,000 is on with the MX-6 as a trade. I guess from your statement that the Miata outhandles the MX-6... well hopefully the salesperson doesn't tag along, and I get to find out with the top down! -- ash
#23 of 4340 AC... in a convertible by karl1973 Feb 25, 2000 (1:30 pm)
I would recommend getting the AC, especially if you are living in a place which gets rain in summer time. The AC would help a lot when you need to put the top up and when you try to defog the windshield.

In dallas, the local mazda dealer where I bought my miata from ONLY sells MX-5's with AC. A lot of people argue that it's not necessary in a convertable. They've never stopped in traffic or at a long light in a car that's been parked in Texas sun for a few hours.

As they say, it depends a lot on where you live -- certainly it's not as important as, say, the engine. Or the transmission. Or, to listen to the chtter at some of the topics here, the radio. In New England, I could well do without the AC. But I do use it and, sometimes, in real muggy conditions, driving in town, put on the tonneau, turn on the AC, and let the cold air keep me pretty comfortable. But when I want to actually drive, I turn it off. I also turn off the radio. What is comfort in one situation turns into pollution at speed, I think. If you can find a Miata with the "R" package, now renamed the "sport" package I think (?), it will not only have a tighter suspension but, the local dealer once told me, no AC. Anyway, you might check. Take care. Joe W.

Also find out if any dealers have any 99s left. Several here in So. Cal. do and they're discounting them by $6500 off MSRP. Which means you could get one for around $17K. Great deal!
#27 of 4340 AC, again by jc9799 Feb 25, 2000 (10:40 pm)
I've had 2 convetibles, one with and the other w/o AC. Although, I rarely use it, AC is really nice on those really hot days when traffic is bad. Even in Portland, OR we do get those kind of days. I wouldn't call it a must, but I would highly recommend having it. The R package, the 94 anyway, had AC as an option. It was one of the few options available for R. Later, Vic
#28 of 4340 Sport Package by zaq Feb 28, 2000 (9:09 pm)
AC is an option on the sport package, at least on the '99s. Since I already bought my miata, I haven't looked at the 2000 models, save for the little purple people eater. (The 2000 Limited Edition) -Z
#29 of 4340 10th Anniverary vs. 2000 in Atlanta by 2000wahoo Feb 29, 2000 (2:11 am)
I have an opportunity to purchase a 10th Anniversary Edition with very low mileage for roughly the same price as a new 2000 would cost me. Any reason not to go with the 1999? Also, I'll be moving to Atlanta in May and am curious about any suggestions Atlantonians may have regarding security while owning a Miata. Thanks in Advance, SNB
#30 of 4340 Trunk by freddy_k Feb 29, 2000 (2:09 pm)
I took a look at the trunk, it looks very small- well I guess it is very small - but anyway I just have one question. Can you squeeze a golf bag into it?
