Posted by jeepdave This is what 400k looks like on a old Accord. 1.

my friend Victor had a sedan version of that with an automatic that had 370,000 miles on it before he traded it for a 92 Lumina Euro 3.1 coupe.

Where's the rust??

nothing rusts once you get south of Virginia.

Stuff rusts in Florida, unless it's in Ocala.

Traded the accord and crv as a down payment on the wife a 2010 corolla. She likes it so meh. I just had a 1992 miata fall in my lap needing a top but otherwise good for $1000. Do it?

Do it. Miatas are awesome.

i'd buy the miata... seriously.

Yeah, go for the Miata!

That poor Honda literally looks like it tanned with a bra on.

Buy the Miata. You can pick up a low end top for like $150 shipped out of somewhere in SC. Helped my buddy install one, and it was pretty decent quality. Sell it off in the late Spring and you'll probably make a killing on it. Check for rocker panel and front fender rust. If the body is clean, you could sell the shell for close to that to a Spec Miata racer.

Update: Going next weekend to pick up the Miata if all goes well. Still haven't gotten to see it in person but if it doesn't look like a steaming pile of dog shit I'm gonna pull that trigger. It has NO top. At all. And has been in the weather for 2 years. Got some pics, body looks ok. Not perfect but ok. Hasn't been started in 2 years either so when I go it will be the first time it has been started in a while. Wondering about the odd battery though? Can't find one at any stores around here and apparently it's something funky. Anyone here had a Miata? Halp!!

Get a lawn mower battery and the adapters to adapt the terminals to a standard car terminal. My friend did that in his Miata, and it's worked fine for 3 years now.

Pulled the trigger. Clutch isn't disengagement so had to stop start and float the gears forty miles home. Pics soon. I have moss.

Tip it upside down on your front lawn and hose it out! Looks just great underneath all that crap. Good score!

Not bad actually... maybe pull the carpets and pressure wash the hell out of them?

I approve!

Update. I vacuumed out about twenty pounds of leaves and dirt plus three gallons of water. Bonus, have owners manual in perfect shape and factory floormats in really good, if dirty condition .

Update: Pulled both seats today (I know it seems like I get very little done but I only get to work on it in the morning before work while taking care of a three month old ). Passengers I think can be saved. The drivers is doubtful sadly. Vacuumed another ten pounds of crap and a gallon more of water.

Base Miata seats are cheap and plentiful. I think I'd just locate a new set. Check out http://Miata.net and possibly http://GrassrootsMotorsports.com/forum.
