Terras14 February 16, 2009 Share February 16, 2009 Hi guys, any idea how much should a coe miata NA version cost in the market? The paper value is at best 2.5k X the number of years left but how much above to pay above that and the per year depreciation? Check out sgcarmart and most looking at at least 6k p.a. Many thanks. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic February 17, 2009 Share February 17, 2009 depends on the condition and the mods but generally worth little in my opinion. however due to the "affordability" the price is way way inflated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks. in my opinion, most NA miata are all overly priced. i would suggest you to get an NB and renew COE. in tat way, you see your car's depreciation at less than $5k per yr. not to mention driving a newer version = better interior and exterior.

Eurocar Neutral Newbie February 17, 2009 Share February 17, 2009 one more thing to note, it is best to buy one that has the least modifications to avoid incurring future potential problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sg2303 2nd Gear February 17, 2009 Share February 17, 2009 I'm considering 1 too. Is it safe to buy a 2nd hand one? Will there be problems surfacing after some time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terras14 February 17, 2009 Author Share February 17, 2009 I agree the nA are over priced but what to do if there are a few selling only and its difficult to find a good conditon one as the car is pretty old already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenbackside 1st Gear February 17, 2009 Share February 17, 2009 For cars this age, especially the NA Miata's, there will bound to be problems. Most cars would have been involved in some kind of impact by now. A friend has one and he's constantly doing something to it. Nothing major cos the engine and drivetrain are quite hardy. Just the small bits like rubber seals and bushings, suspension components...etc. He also had to change the whole roof and all the seals which was not cheap as he opted to upgrade the rear plastic screen to a glass one. Of course, you cannot expected modern levels of refinement. It's a small roadster with minimal sound proofing. Expect it to be noisy and rough riding, especially if it's lowered (which most people do for looks). Lots of wind, road, mechanical and engine noises. But on a cool day with the top down attacking a series of bends with verve, it is a sweet thing... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sellers of NA normally will also ask you renew cor and depreciation will be less than 3k per year with the current coe but just that the car will be 2 decades old already...haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very high PARF (under old system). Not worth it to extend COE, hence not attractive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurocar Neutral Newbie February 17, 2009 Share February 17, 2009 (edited) Sellers of NA normally will also ask you renew cor and depreciation will be less than 3k per year with the current coe but just that the car will be 2 decades old already...haha seriously, get the NB which is a wiser choice. you can compare simply 1. NA - 20 yrs old $3.5k depreciation per yr 2. NB - 10 yrs old $5k depreciation per yr (nicer interior, better and more efficient engine, exterior is nice) If its about the depreciation that bothers you, get the NA. Ironically, the NA might bother you when it comes to wear and tear and reliability issues. Edited February 17, 2009 by Eurocar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurocar Neutral Newbie February 17, 2009 Share February 17, 2009 Very high PARF (under old system). Not worth it to extend COE, hence not attractive. yes. but whether it is worth to extend COE depends on what type of car. for the miata, i would glady renew the COE (based on current PQP) and drive it for another 10 yrs.

I wouldnt mind getting a 15 yr old NB at $20k for sure! what im saying is that it can definitely fetch more than $20k in future to come Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xefera 6th Gear February 17, 2009 Share February 17, 2009 IMHO, a car is worth the value based on what you ascertain it should be worth. For a car like the miata, there is more than just the paper value that you consider. At the end of the day, you will be wanting something more out of the roadster vs a 4-door sedan. Sometimes, a little premium is worth the experience you will get out of this little car. Join the local miata community by signing up at Miata-SG and find out more from the members.

Jonomo Neutral Newbie October 26, 2010 Share October 26, 2010 in my opinion, most NA miata are all overly priced. i would suggest you to get an NB and renew COE. in tat way, you see your car's depreciation at less than $5k per yr. not to mention driving a newer version = better interior and exterior. Just b/c it's newer doesn't mean it's better interior or ex... I've had NA and NB and I prefer the exterior and interior design of the NA over the NB... honestly NB feels alot cheaper.. just look at the door handles and stuff... interior looks almost identical.... with that being said, NAs do seem way over priced...
