It keeps things simple and light, but throws in just enough creature comforts to make daily life easier. The car stuck with its first owner until 2023, when the current seller picked it up at around 49,000 miles. Since then, it's racked up another 4,000 miles, all under sunny California skies.Coated in Galaxy Gray Mica with black leather inside, this Miata packs Mazda's 2.0-liter MZR four-cylinder – good for 166 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. Power heads straight to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual and a limited-slip diff, while the power-retractable hardtop adds a dash of versatility you won't get from the usual soft-top.Bring a TrailerCondition and DetailsThis NC Miata comes with a set of 17-inch 10-spoke wheels wrapped in Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S rubber, and stops courtesy of ventilated front and solid rear discs. Factory options include dynamic stability and traction control, plus a suspension setup with double wishbones up front and a multi-link rear.AdvertisementAdvertisementInside, you get heated black leather seats, Mazda's Advanced keyless entry, cruise control, air conditioning, and a wind deflector – so daily driving doesn't feel like a chore. There's also an aftermarket head unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you're not stuck in 2007 when it comes to tech. The factory head unit and trim panel come with the car, though the driver's seat does show a bit of wear.This Miata is up for grabs from a private seller with 53,000 miles – relatively low for its age. It's a no-nonsense example of what made the NC Miata a hit: just enough power, rear-wheel drive, a manual box, and a mechanical setup.Bring a TrailerView the 2 images of this gallery on the original articleWhat You Need to KnowA clean, well-specced NC Miata still makes a ton of sense if you want an affordable driver's car. This one checks all the right boxes.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe original window sticker pegged this Miata at $28,705, and it comes with service records, spare parts, the sticker itself, and a clean California title in the seller's name. Oil was changed as recently as February 2026, with gearbox and diff fluids swapped in 2023.Of note, the car's Carfax shows minor damage from June 2023, which the seller says happened when someone backed into a door. That door got a fresh coat of paint, and the front bumper cover was replaced. The gallery also shows a dent on the rear quarter panel and a few finish flaws.Bring a TrailerThe OfferSpecificationDetailMakeMazdaModelMX-5 Miata Grand Touring PRHTYear2007Mileage53,000 milesEngine2.0-liter MZR inline-fourPower166 horsepower, 140 lb-ftTransmissionSix-speed manualDrive typeRear-wheel drive with limited-slip differentialExterior colorGalaxy Gray MicaInterior colorBlack leatherRoofPower-retractable hardtopWheels17-inch 10-spoke alloySuspensionBilstein shocksCurrent bidBidding open; ends in 7 daysInterested in this car?

It's not a flawless collector's piece, thanks to its cosmetic history, but the mechanicals and paperwork make it worth a closer look.
