Now's Your Chance To Buy A Box-Fresh Mk1 Mazda MX-5 With 300 Genuine Miles

This box-fresh Mazda MX-5 might be the lowest-mileage example in the world. It's also likely to be one of the most expensive standard Mk1s in the world, but damn, I want it badly!

Now's Your Chance To Buy A Box-Fresh Mk1 Mazda MX-5 With 300 Genuine Miles

If you click on this eBay link right now, you’ll find a 1990 Mk1 Mazda MX-5 with a starting bid of $13,000. That’s damn expensive for car like this, and the reason for the inflated price is simple: it’s box-fresh with only 300 miles on the clock, which means that this dry-stored MX-5 could be the cleanest example in the world…

According to the seller, it’s a one-owner car, has never seen the rain, and apparently, has never had its hood up. Now I’m not sure that this last bit is a true selling point, but just imagine the feeling you’ll get when you know that you’d be the first one to pop the MX-5’s roof cherry.

I’ll be watching this auction (ending Monday) with interest. How much do you think it’ll go for?

Shout out to Jesus Garcia for the tip!

How do these kinda cars even exist

Idiots that don’t enjoy them?

Should become a piece in the science museum or something xD That owner must have had such an urge to take it out at times though

Probably still has rust. LOL

21500 is literally less than it cost when it was new
According to http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/1990-mazda-mx-5-miata-archived-test-review
MSRP $25,735

Huh, so my ride height is normal for a stock MX-5. I thought my car had too much wheel gap but I guess with new stock dampers and springs it does sit like that.
