33k-Mile 2002 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition 6-Speed

This 2002 Mazda MX-5 Miata remained in the original owner’s care and in storage until shortly before it was purchased by the seller on BaT in October 2019, and 31k of the 33k miles have been added since that time. The car is one of approximately 2,500 Special Edition examples produced for the model year, and it is finished in Titanium Gray Metallic over saddle brown leather upholstery. Power is from a 1.8-liter inline-four paired with a six-speed manual transmission, and equipment includes a limited-slip differential, a black soft top, fog lights, a decklid spoiler, 16″ alloy wheels, Bilstein dampers, a leather-wrapped Nardi steering wheel, a CD stereo, a Bose sound system, and air conditioning. This special-edition NB Miata is now offered with a clean Massachusetts title in the seller’s name.

This example is finished in Titanium Gray Metallic and features a black soft top, a heated glass rear window, fog lights, a front air dam, extended rocker panel trim, a decklid spoiler, a power antenna, mudguards, and painted mirror caps. The Carfax report lists “minor” damage to the front-left corner in a September 2021 entry. The Special Edition fender badges are missing, and scratches are present on the driver’s door as well as the bumper covers. Touch-up paintwork is noted on the rear bumper cover.

Silver 16″ alloy wheels are mounted with General G-Max AS-07 tires, which were fitted under current ownership. The car is equipped with Bilstein dampers and power-assisted steering.

The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in Saddle Brown leather along with a color-coordinated lower dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include air conditioning, a Bose sound system, a CD/cassette stereo, cruise control, and power windows. Wear is noted on the mats.

The leather-wrapped Nardi steering wheel frames a 150-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline as well as gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 33k miles, most of which were added under current ownership.

The 1.8-liter DOHC inline-four was factory rated at 142 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Drive belts and the battery were replaced in May 2023, and the camshaft position sensor and vapor canister were replaced earlier this year.

The Carfax report shows the aforementioned damage.
