I'm looking at a 1999 MX-5 with 17,000 miles on it, the dealership is asking 11,900 and edmunds tmv says right at 9,000. It needs new tires, but otherwise it's in good shape. KBB.com says 10,500. Is edmunds off, how much should I be expecting them to come down to? And how do I get them to come down. And how do I get them to lower the price of the car and not increase the trade in value of my current car? Thanks for you help.

I do not have my book's with me, for I am home, and not at work, so I may be off. You can offer to the dealer what you are willing to pay. Keep in mind, they do not have to accept your offer. Most dealers will work with you. But, a rare find means you paying out for it. If you really want it, work your butt off to get it. Three weeks ago, I sold a 1999 Chevy Corvette conv. w/suspension package with 11,000 miles on it. KBB was around $27,700 I think. We were advertising it for $29,990. I sold it for $28,500. But, we had to pay through the nose to get it on trade. That is just another example of the type of situation you are in. Good luck, I hope you get the MX-5 |

| I am seriously considering the purchase of a yellow 2002 SE with 37,000 miles in excellent condition for $14,500. I like the previous generation Miata mainly for the higher seating position -- elbow sits comfortably on the window sill. I assume that I could buy a new base MX-5 for around $21,000. I would appreciate any advice from the experts out there. I like the extra horsepower and safety features on the new MX-5, but also appreciate the looks and lower price of the used 2002 SE. Any advice would be appreciated. | |

I was looking seriously at the '06 Civic Si for purchase. Now looking at the Miata Sport (plug handling pkg.) for a bit more. I had considered a used S2000, but I think either of the 2 will get me in enough trouble for the same money, and of course, new is new. I wonder how many of you road tested both these vehicles. I see the Si as more a young crowd vehicle, but I do like great performance and am not a huge convertible fan.
