Get my guaranteed offer

No obligation · Free local pickup

The offer we make is the offer you get for 7 days.*

The price holds as long as the vehicle, title, mileage, and condition match what you submitted. If hidden or unreported damage is found at pickup, we’ll make the adjustment and give you a counter-offer on the spot — and the decision is yours.

The MX-5 Miata generations we buy

This span covers the third-generation NC Miata (2006-2015), which added an optional power retractable hardtop, and the fourth-generation ND (2016-2024), which returned to a smaller, lighter formula with 1.5L and 2.0L engines and an RF retractable fastback from 2017. The ND's 2.0L was uprated for 2019 (ND2). Manual gearboxes dominate both generations, with automatics a small minority.

Los Angeles County's year-round top-down weather keeps Miatas in constant use, so sun damage to tops, seats, and dashboards is common on cars stored outdoors. State whether the car is a soft top, power hardtop, or RF, and whether it has the limited-slip differential fitted to many manual Club and Grand Touring cars.

Common MX-5 Miata problems we still buy

NC manual transmission shift feel and wear

The NC's six-speed manual can develop notchy shifting and synchro wear, and clutch slave cylinders leak with age. Fluid condition makes a noticeable difference in how these gearboxes feel.

Thermostat failure (NC)

NC thermostats commonly stick, causing slow warm-up, an illuminated check-engine light for coolant temperature, and poor heater performance. It is a well-known, relatively simple repair that owners often defer.

Coolant expansion tank aging (NC)

The NC's plastic pressurized coolant reservoir yellows, becomes brittle, and can crack with age and heat, risking sudden coolant loss. Preventive replacement is common advice in the Miata community.

Soft top wear and ND infotainment / gearbox notes

Convertible tops on both generations tear at folds and their rear windows cloud or separate, while early ND cars had reports of manual gearbox failures on hard-driven examples and infotainment screen delamination in hot climates. Top condition strongly affects how a roadster presents.

Every one of these is a condition answer on the form — report it and it is priced in from the start, never discovered at pickup.

MX-5 Miata seller questions

What happens on pickup day?

Our buyer checks the VIN, title, mileage, and the same condition items you submitted for your MX-5 Miata. If everything matches, you sign the transfer paperwork, receive payment, and hand over the keys — and the tow is free in Los Angeles County.

My MX-5 Miata has over 150,000 miles. Is that a problem?

High mileage alone does not disqualify a MX-5 Miata. If it starts, drives, and has a working key, report the mileage honestly in the form and we will price the whole car, not just the odometer.

What MX-5 Miata years do you buy?

We buy Mazda MX-5 Miata vehicles across the 2006-2024 range we commonly see, and we will look at older ones case by case. Condition matters more than the year — a high-mileage MX-5 Miata that starts, drives, and has a working key is exactly what the form is for.

My MX-5 Miata has nc manual transmission shift feel and wear. Will you still buy it?

In most cases, yes — that is a known MX-5 Miata issue and it is priced into the offer from the condition answers you submit, not discovered at pickup. Describe it honestly and the offer already reflects it.
