Find out if the car is a program car. I asked here about something
very similar (are you in Salinas CA?). There is an '04 with 320 miles
on it, with an asking of $16,777. They state program car, and carfax
confirmed it was bought at an auction. Perhaps it's OK, maybe though
it fell off the truck or was damaged at a dealership. It's been there
for many weeks, I'd think if it was so good it would have been
snatched up. Their price is under the wholesale trade-in as reported
by KBB.
A program car apparently can be many things. A demo, an "executive",
one used by the manufacturer in ads, car shows, what have you....or
perhaps something isn't right with it. Check it out, if you buy it I'd
love to hear more, I'm rather leary of the 320 mile one in Salinas for
me to take a look...
My few cents....

This is brand new vehicle. Price includes 2k rebate. Their is nothing wrong
with the car. Still has factory wrap on it. They had two of them but I did
not want the other which had leather seats but 1k higher in price. This is
from a dealer in New England. I have been living in Florida but the Miata
line here is more in demand and I could not get the same or similar deal.
There is SNOW now in New England. I see many more Miatas in Tampa Bay then
in Boston.

Probably the best time to buy a Miata ever, considering my new 92 was
$15,000 thirteen years ago! The changes and everything more than
justify that price. I was offered a Mazdaspeed for 19,140 plus tax and
tags (2004) model but didn't pick it up. With the rebates and direct to
dealer incentives, they are great deals right now.

Well I bought the 04 Miata. What a dream to drive!!!! The weather has been
very good with no measureable snow. Wish I discovered this car yrs ago.
