This 2001 Mazda MX-5 Miata LS has 52k miles following registration history in Illinois, and it was purchased by the seller in January 2021. Work since that time included rebuilding the shifter and replacing the timing belt, water pump, oil pan gasket, oil pump, valve cover gasket, and tires. Finished in Classic Red over tan leather upholstery, the car is powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, 16″ five-spoke alloy wheels, a tan soft top, fog lights, a leather-wrapped Nardi steering wheel, a Bose sound system, a CD/cassette stereo, and air conditioning. This NB Miata is now offered at no reserve with the owner’s manual, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name.
The NB Miata was introduced for the 1999 model year, with styling updates including fixed headlamps and wider bodywork. This example is finished in Classic Red and features a tan soft top, a heated glass rear window, fog lights, and a power antenna. A chip is present on the driver-side mirror.
Silver 16″ five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with General GT G-Max AS-05 tires, which were reportedly fitted in November 2022. Braking is handled by power-assisted ventilated front and solid rear discs.
The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in tan 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. The shifter assembly is said to have been rebuilt with a brass bushing in July 2021. Photos included in the gallery detail wear on the passenger-side door panel as well as the rear cargo net.
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 52k miles.
The 1.8-liter DOHC inline-four was factory rated at 142 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque. The timing belt, water pump, drive belts, and timing belt idler and tensioner were replaced in May 2022, and service in February 2024 included an oil change and replacing the oil pump, oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, and front crankshaft seal.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
The Carfax report is free from accidents or other reported damage.
