97 M isn't really any more desirable than any of the other M editions. Usually you'll get about $1k more with the M over a regular Miata. You'll need to deduct for the maintenance, tires, and a/c. You're talking $600 -$1000 for maintenance, $400+ for tires and $300+ for the A/C.
 
Probably worth around $5 - $6k. Might check Miata.net for pricing from Miata enthuisists.

I would do the tune-up before you sell. A buyer isn't going to know if it's a minor thing, especially if it's thrown a check-engine light. Might even want to do the tires.
 
If it can't pass inspection, noone's going to want to buy it.

Can Sound Insulation Be Installed Under Hood? by stopandgo

I was wondering if anyone on the forum has ever added sound insulation under the Miata's hood to reduce the engine noise? I assume all older Miatas did not come with hood insulation but I think it might be practical in cutting back engine revving noise.
 
Can hood insulation be factory ordered for an 07 model and if someone has an older model should Mazda dealer/service department be able to add insulation upon customer request.

Yes my cars PO installed this sticky brown sheet of insulation in the "holes" under the hood and trunk. Its since dried out and is coming unglued. If you want I think I could get the name off it.

Hello, Don!
 
Realize you posted your question almost two years ago, but I just purchased a new 2005 Mazdaspeed Miata with the Bose system and Windblocker speakers and experienced the same low volume issue. What have you learned since your initial posting? Am most interested!

miata O2 sensor(s) by colreed

Just got a CEL with code p1135, "O2 sensor heated". I understand there are two O2 sensors for 1999 miata, one front, one back. Is the diagnostic code specific to one or the other sensors or should I be concerned about both of them? Thanks for any technical help you can give.

Given the age, I'd probably replace both. I do think they are a wear item, and they are 7+ years old at this point.
