The car is finished in Titanium Grey Metallic over black leather, and additional equipment includes 15″ Advanti Storm S1 wheels, a black soft top, Mazdaspeed bodywork, air conditioning, and an aftermarket audio system. This LS1-powered Mazdaspeed NB Miata shows 200k miles and is now offered in Oklahoma with the owner’s manual, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name…

Equipment includes power windows, an aluminum pedal set, Hella Sharptone horns, a Bluetooth-capable JVC stereo, JBL Audio speakers, an Alphasonik 8″ enclosed subwoofer, and a Kenwood amplifier. The seller states that the air conditioning and audio systems are engaged via toggle switches below the stereo, the heater does not work, and the toggle switch labeled “exhaust valve” is disconnected because no exhaust valve was ever installed…

The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 150-mph speedometer and a tachometer as well as gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 200k miles, approximately 14k of which were added under current ownership. The oil pressure gauge does not work, the OBDII system is inoperable, and the airbag warning light is illuminated…
