Collector-Grade 1996 Mazda Miata M-Edition Fully Rebuilt $40k Receipts - $32,500 (Bellevue)

Up for sale is a rare and fully restored 1996 Mazda Miata M Edition — the final year of the iconic NA Miata, finished in Starlight Mica Blue over tan leather. This is a collector-quality example with over $40,000 in receipts and everything brought back to better-than-factory condition. This is not your average Craigslist Miata — this is a turn-key, investment-grade car for someone who wants the best. Highlights: • Professionally rebuilt 1.8L engine by Mazda dealership (less than 27k miles ago) • Comprehensive mechanical restoration: suspension, brakes, cooling, clutch, driveline — you name it, no corners cut • Immaculate interior: leather seats, carpet, and steering wheel all replaced in original finishes and materials • OEM M Edition wheels professionally refinished, wrapped in new Toyo tires (installed Aug 2024) • Upgraded Sony touchscreen sound system with Bluetooth, backup camera ready, and crystal-clear audio • Cold A/C, just replaced and blowing strong • All electronics work: power windows, ABS, original Nardi wood shift knob • Matching tan tonneau cover included — rare and pristine • No rust, clean WA title in hand • Always garaged, never raced or tracked, smoke-free, pet-free • Comes with binder of documentation — $40K+ in receipts, detailed service history, original manuals. It’s been in the same car enthusiast family for over 21 years. This car feels and drives like it just rolled out of the factory — actually, better. It’s turn-key and ready for the road or a collector’s garage. Why am I selling? Downsizing my collection with new baby being born (no room for car seat), and want this much-loved Miata to go to an enthusiast who’ll appreciate the level of work and care invested. Price: $32,500 OBO (Reasonable offers considered, but please don’t lowball — this isn’t a $7K Craigslist beater, and this is the agreed upon Bring a Trailer reserve price) Phone (call/text): ‪ show contact info ‬ NOTE: Will be listing this car on Bring a Trailer in August if not sold locally. Serious buyers only — no trades, no joyrides without cash in hand.
