    Default 1993 LE Barn find?

    I apologize if this type of post isn't allowed, but I figured someone may be interested.

    A friend of a friend has a 1993 LE (in Houston) that she hasn't driven in ten years. She thinks it need a fuel pump, along with all of the other maintenance associated with sitting ten years. She says it still looks great, and it comes with the paperwork for the Sebring (?) supercharger installation. She is asking $3,000. If anyone is interested, let me know and I will pass on your phone number.

    As far as I know, yes. Pass me your contact preferences, and I will pass it to the owner.

    Two more pictures - http://www.mikewalsted.com/93LE-engine.jpg and http://www.mikewalsted.com/93LE-Radiator.jpg. You can see that it is going to need a radiator and some cleaning.

    If I had the time for a flip, I'd help the owner get it ready to sell and recommend a price well north of $4K, The cost of the radiator, battery, and upgrading to a Walbro fuel pump would be under $500, but then we could afford to join the Houston Miata board.

    Sitting 10 years probably means more than just those things. Likely dry rotted tires, belts, hoses, fluid changes, if sitting outside a new top.

    You are right. It is going to need belts, hoses, and tires. It was covered the whole time, though, so the top should be okay, and if not, I have a spare, if I was going to do a flip.
