Description:
Hey there!
I'm starting to explore the market again, as I just can't get my old '94 R2 out of my head, haha.
As stated, my budget is between $30k and $50k. I'm looking for a well sorted drivers car--if I'm buying one of these, I'm driving it, not parking it in a garage. With that in mind, I'm looking for a car that runs and drives without issue, with a nice interior. Mileage isn't all that important to me, as long as the car is in good shape. I don't mind a '94+ tan interior, but am not interested in a '93 full tan car; black interior is preferable. Ideally I'm looking for a SSM or BB car, but I'll also consider CW or MB. I think the FD looks amazing in VR and CYM, but I have trouble seeing myself in a bright car. I'm in CA, so I can't get into something heavily modified, but light modifications are fine. Similarly, I don't need a completely original car, and don't mind '99 spec bits.
Alternatively, I drive an ND2 MX-5, modded to a very nice spec. It's a black Brembo/BBS/Recaro Club with MCS 2W's, CE28N's, Karcepts sways, some Verus and JBR bits, Antigravity battery, etc. I also have all of the original parts, minus the front sway bar. If someone is looking to get into a newer chassis, I can honestly say this might be the best canyon car I've ever owned, and it has a lot of headroom for competent track work. I'd be willing to consider a trade for the right car, as it seems like that could be a win-win for a Mazda enthusiast.
If you think your car fits the bill and you're considering letting it go, feel free to PM me! Thanks all!

I've got my eye on another car out of state, but to be completely honest, I think I'd be overpaying somewhat significantly based on what that car is likely to require maintenance-wise upon acquisition, so I haven't pulled the trigger; it's getting to the point where it's looking more attractive though, as I've been keeping an eye on the market for a long while now, and if any lesson has been learned it's that every FD comes with compromises in one form or another, and I don't want to wait years hoping that the unicorn will appear, haha.
I'm still really keen to get back into one of these--I've been holding off developing my ND any further in case the right car pops up and I need the liquidity of a car I can quickly return to stock, but I'm definitely approaching an impasse. HKS is officially working on CARB approval for their ND SC kit--so it'll either be a SC ND2 or a tidy FD, and I can't tell if the decision is getting harder or easier as time goes by, haha.

The ND2 is definitely a great car, no question about it. My feeling is that I can always get back into one with very little difficulty, so might be wise to get into a nice FD while it's still not impossible, and if I regret it, I can always get an ND again down the line.
