Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone stays safe and smart! I make these videos strictly for people who are in the market to buy an NB Miata or people who currently owns one and want to better educate themselves about their ride. Either way, not everyone will experience these issues and I'm not saying you 100% will. But, they are all possibilities. If this helped you out and you enjoyed, like the video and SMASH the subscribe button to learn more about cars!

I wish there would be less nb miata videos so that the value can stay affordable

NC Miata value will drop, then we would be in the same limbo. Its just the way the market works. Then in 10 years the same will happen with the ND Miata.

I paid $300 for an NB shell. And $4500 for a crashed built NB with a bent frame. Made one goodbone out of two bad. The owner of the built car gave me book with the build coast. Engine alone has close to $7k in its with labor and machine shop work plus parts. By the time I was done. With Dyno time and all that stuff to get it running right. I spent about $7k. And that's with me doing 95% of the work. So in my opinion. A well built NB 300 - 400 whp range will go for $10k or so. Maybe more.

Great video and very informative. Thanks very much for posting. One thing to add, another place to check for rust on a MK2 MX5 is the chassis rails. The chassis rails are a serious rust area on the MK2 due to having a double skin in order to meet new crash safety regulations. The double skin collects moisture and the chassis rails rust from the inside out. The chassis rail rust is not a problem on the MK1 due to having a single skin.

I've got a 2001 NB with Hardtop...definitely a fun car that handles great, good call on some of the issues but right now I'm changing out rear wheel bearing...one of my favorite cars so far.

I’ve been wanting some type of roadster for so long and would love an ND but I’d need to save a lot more. But I see a NB (2004) automatic with 116k miles for $9500. Too much?

Also btw the BP 1.8 existed before the first Miatas and Ford had owned 24,5% of Mazda since 1974 so I don't see how that only applies to the 1.8?
