He's right, all you have to do is open up all the local CLs.

Everyday I had Los Angeles, Inland Empire, Orange County, San Diego, Fresno, Las Vegas, Sacramento, and SF Bay all open every day all day. Then every hour or so I would just go through each tab and hit F5 and then scan the tops to see what has been updated. It was tedious, but it obviously worked. because I was the first one to email him, I got it. There were 47 other people that wanted to buy the car the same day, but because I was first I won :).

Yeah, I don't do the Miata, being 6'4" and 255 lbs, my head ends up being the roll bar hoop, not good. You gonna mess with it or just drive it?

400,000 miles?!? Original engine?

My boss put his wife's Miata on Craigslist and sold it in like 20 minutes. I think he got like 7 calls in that time. The first wanted to come see the car in the afternoon. The second was a mechanic that came right out and bought it for a project.

Lol, if you have firefox, you can download a plug in that automatically refreshes after a specified amount of time. Congrats on the buy! :tup:

I'm 6'6 (okay 6'5.5) and I fit "perfectly" in the little miata. I'm gonna eventually buy a roll bar for it, just need to fix it up for now.

Gonna be the daily driver.
