Did not know that. You selling or just offering a look over? 😁
I did discover from some research that Carvana apparently cornered the market on used Miata’s. Almost every one advertised for sale is from them. Mostly at crazy prices too. That stinks.
I just did a quick look into who has Miata's and the price. I found about a dozen used cars from dealerships in the area but I cannot say where the ones Carvana are so they are not included in that number. And I found that the dealerships have better prices than Carvana, significantly better prices.

I remember one time filling up the Sebring next to a guy filling up a Miata. He mentioned that I should have got a Miata, I replied that I couldn't, I have more than one friend.

This one doesn't seem to have any problems.

I looked at cars.com and I think it was 6 of 7. within 40 miles of me. I checked auto tempest and it found 1/2 on cars.com I think, and 36 at Carvana (not sure what distance that was). Carvana seems weird. they come up as local just about everywhere.

Look a bit like the Ventus I had on my MR2, which were complete garbage.

I watched that tire video too. That guy doesn't sugar coat how things work.
Actually the 3.5L is a great engine and there’s nothing particularly bad about the water pumps but it’s the internal location of the WP that can be disastrous. I’ve read about the pumps failing and causing coolant to go into the oil without warning which granades the motor pretty quick. Even if you stop immediately I understand it’s a $3k repair.
Ford isn’t the only company that uses internal WPs. Chrysler’s notorious 2.7L had one. I seem to remember some older Cadillacs had them back in the 90s.

Maybe it would be safer to put the rims in a large freezer for a few hours.

You got that right that’s dangerous stuff. He should have gotten his mother to come over and spit on the sealing surface, that would have done it. Mothers spit is magical. It’s cleaned up more kids than a bar of soap. Could even remove rust from the old time chrome bumpers. Good show though.

I'd like him to explain what that lever is for at the front of the seat...is that an ejection lever?

At least it gets the oxygen out of the inside of the tire for all those who
think increasing the nitrogen above 78% has some advantage for
normal folks' tires.

My father finally got them to extend the warranty. Don’t recall by how much, but I remember him getting into it with the dealership’s owner on one occasion.
Anyway, when the new model came out, it looked the same as the old model, at least to my young eyes.
But, I remember that engine singing like a Ferrari right behind our heads when I was in it. Plus, during the warm months, she kept the targa roof off, which was even more fun. Wasn’t very fast, but it sounded great!
IIRC, she only kept it about 18 months, as rust was already starting to form around the rockers.
Look to your elders, folks.

That’s messy work. I still say he should have called his mother to come over and spit on it.
