I hope this car is worth 100$ at best since its a walking dead of a car.

Bought a miata like 3 weeks ago.
Already changed slave cylinder. Fuel pump is whining. Gear changes are notchy. There is shudder when taking off from standstill. Consumption is 9-10l/100km. Heat shield and exhaust is rattling. Engine is oily. Brake fluid slowly leaks on the rear left wheel. Seats are uncomfortable and you can't heel and toe. Turn signal lever is hard to operate.
Fell for the meme.

>contaminated coolant
Vague... But also not great sounding. It'll probably run, might need to flush coolant/check water pump and radiator.

>I have no vehicular knowledge
>Is this ok
Honestly this has to be bait
>Clutch: Shudder
>Antifreeze: Contaminated
>Engine: Leak
>Trans: Notchy
I gotta say, that's a very thorough check - who does that?
Lucas Price
is this a meme?
mate that thing is fucked, unless you're getting for a steal then walk away.
Nolan Peterson
How mechanically minded are you?
I don't have anything to compare with, being my miata is only the 2nd I've driven.
>Slave cyl
Good idea, they usually leak like a fuck after 20 years
>Whining
Mine is pretty noisy, though the fuel tank is practically mated to the parcel shelf/chassis
>Notchy
Try flushing the tranny fluid. People swear by motorcraft, or depending on your clime, redline 50:50 works. Just make sure it's GL4.
>Shudder
Not great. Good time to replace clutch/throw/etc and get a lightweight one if you can spring. Cheap, if you go stock.
>Consumption
Pass
>Rattling
Common. Remove them.
Wrap header/downpipe if you can. No more boiling cabin.
>Oily
Either crank or cam seal. Cam seal is easy.
>Left rear
Either rebuild yourself for $20 or get a refurb.
>Uncomfortable
Wat.
>Can't heal toe
Extra wat.
>Turn lever
Yeah mine can be a PITA sometimes.
