Lava Orange 2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5 Miata GT

Mazdaspeed Miata (MSM) with VIN JM1NB354850411313. This car was built on Wednesday, August 18, 2004, the 117th 2005 Mazdaspeed Miata. It is a GT model. That means it has leather seats with silver stitching, and a cloth (not vinyl) convertible top. It is completely original and has no modifications.

Mechanical condition: Excellent. This car has been well maintained. I have service records from Mazda. Everything on this car works including ice-cold A/C, Bose CD changer.

Cosmetic condition: Excellent. There are no door dings or scratches in the paint. The interior looks brand new. So does the engine compartment and inside the trunk. There are no chips or scratches in the windshield.

No damage or paint work. Clean Carfax. Clear title.

Issues: The wheels have scrapes from scraping curbs but no major damage. The paint has water spots in some areas that are visible in the right lighting conditions. My friends say these can be removed with a buffer.
