Hello there! If someone feels that a used miata around the 100,000 mile area would be a suitable car for a city driver for at least a year and wont strain a small budget with petty repairs constantly please send me an email at sarp1028@gmail.com

 

With the high miles, it's tough to say based on the info you provided. I would ask for service records if available. If you are buying from another "city dweller", those miles put on the car are probably hard miles due to the stop and go nature of a city. If you are getting it cheap, and only plan on keeping it for a year, may not be a terrible deal. I just hope you live near a bus stop, just in case!

 

i think that if you're looking for a cheap, reliable, sporty car, go for the protege. it has different engine sizes if you want to lean more towards economy or performance. it looks good, fun to drive, reliable and easy to find low mileage and cheap. i got into a nice protege 5 with cd/dvd player with low mileage and a 2L motor all for 10k.
