My wife and I bought a red 92 Miata with 72,000 miles in 2007. We had to fix up some things, and replaced the oversized tire/wheels with stock ones. We started taking it on weekend trips. This has been the most fun car we have ever had. Riding on the back roads of Kentucky with the top down in the summer and fall is pretty cheap entertainment. The Miata is built like a tank, and handles like a slot car. It gets almost 30 MPG, and has plenty of pick up for a little 4 cylinder. The insurance is especially cheap. We paid $3,600 and put about $2,000 in it, and it has been worth every penny. It is not great for rides over 2 hours, but you will not be disappointed for a run about and fun, reliable car.
UPDATE; Sep 09, We did not drive Miata last summer, as we moved and had too many projects. This spring I changed timing belt, dressed up engine, replaced belts and hoses, spark plugs and wires and advanced timing. Runs even better. Also fixed all dents and did body work and had friend paint it for $1,000. Added new style tail lights and clear front turns. Took on a recent road trip and got 34 MPG! Car still amazes me, and my wife and I have great times on back road drives in Kentucky. Still seems like a great bargain and would highly recommend a used Miata
