Buying Cars on Facebook Marketplace For DUMMIES!
Wen you swapped radiators did it take a lot longer to get it up to temp? Or did you swap your termostat
Hey Alex! Just came across this vid as I just got a hardtop that needs paint. You did a great job on yours and the info was helpful. I definitely don't have a good setup to do paint myself at home, and would have to use rattle cans (looking at 66 Auto Color 2k single stage cans). Also have a small chip on the lower edge. So... lots to consider! Might be leaning towards paying the pros, but damn it's expensive out here in Cali.
you or anyone here ever driven a auto miata? thats the only thing around me.. probably one of my fav car but not sure about automatics... are they still fun?
Nice work!
Thanks!
There are small dealers who are there on Facebook marketplace to Flip cars. They buy and sell cars, normally they get these cars from auctions and sell on Facebook market. How to avoid them and reach the real private seller (if there are private seller in the first place)?
What rims are those?
KMC Impact OL
@@AlexPerrucci are they 16 inch rims or 17inch? And are you running spacers? Or what offset
how can i transport the car from one place to another cause i don't have no insurance ir registration for the car
Most states have a week grace period, you should be fine to drive the car as long as you have the title.
Sup sup my engine light will not come on you have any idea why
Make sure someone hasn’t removed the bulb for it in the cluster.
That’s awesome!!!
9:58 I like it when you talk dirty to me
Be honest, how bad was cleaning the interior after sanding those quarters? 😂
Great question! I’ll let you know when I do so 😂
Great video on tires! Definitely gave me some direction for my ‘92 Miata’s next set of tires 👍
Glad it could help!
I really want an NC club. But those are double the price usually of the NB. The NA has gone up in price too. So I’ve been shopping a NB. Which would you find more collectible-a 1999 with leather interior. Or a Shinsen? Both have same miles on odometer and are roughly in the same condition-the 99 probably better condition overall but is $2000 more asking price. What color leather seat options were available in 99? Not sure if it is original.
Absolute beauty
Thanks!
how much do you guys pay insurance on the miata??? i want to buy one but i dont know about how much insurance costs
Appreciate this video 🙏
15x10 +25 will this work with wide body kit like will it touch from inside?
how do i save the add,if i click on save like i used to,i only get video's ive saved not the car advert ?
Should be under marketplace, then saved items I believe. I’ve never had a problem finding stuff I’ve saved.
I know way too many people who have been ripped off buying cars on FB Marketplace.
Congratulations!very nice.
*_"It's been a minute..."_* What was once Gen X sarcasm is now Millennial salutations. LOL
Hey Alex, I’m getting started on a MB hardtop restoration. Could you tell me what the stand is called and where I might get one please? Thanks and be well !
Astro Pneumatic portable work stand
Thank you sir!
What i really need is rain deflectors for the hardtop, even with new seals all around water still gets in if you power hose the car
I know some people sell them!
What’s the offset on your wheels? They look great with the flares
-25
@@AlexPerrucci what brand/size for wheels and tires?
@@AlexPerruccithe shot of you popping the hood in the garage, are those just stock wheels?
@@_No_Bueno yeah stock wheels there with 1.5” spacers. Now I run 16x8 et0 with a 1” spacer for an effective offset of -25. Goodyear Duratrac 285/75/16
@@AlexPerrucci awesome. I have a 97 with limited flares, she’s getting new wheels and tires in a few weeks and I am going for the same look. I appreciate your reply.
I want to get my first car but I don’t want to make huge monthly payments for a car that’s not even worth what the dealership offers
No car is worth what the dealership offers. That's like saying you want to buy something and resell it for what you paid or more. That's not how depreciating assets work.
Sorry I’m new to this but what do you mean by “run on the paint”? Also nice cinematography in the video and thank you for sharing tips as well!
You can see that spot I sand was a little heavy on the clearcoat resulting in a small “run” or “drip”
Bro, you're in my backyard. I wish more miatas came up to cleveland and helen. I feel so alone up here. Lol
how do you get your trunk to pop open so much?
It’s a lightweight fiberglass trunk
Very cool nice thing about it is two weeks ago. They laid down a fresh sheet of asphalt. It is smooth.
Yeah! Looking forward to driving it this summer.
I just got a challenger xst 2014 235$ a month 126 months
In fact I did know these things, minus the 90 trunk release :D I have a 97!
The only thing about the long studs is that you have to use open end lugs? Am i right about that, maybe I'm missing something? I've got autoexe lugs that are stock specs, don't want to change them.
Correct, open ended lugs with extended studs.
@@AlexPerrucci when I ran open end lugs I started getting corrosion on the studs. It was getting bad so I went back to the stock studs. And now have the autoexe ones. After it started I dug around and saw that other people were having the same corrosion
I did the exact opposite. I bought my 1995 R Model Miata in 1998. This car was driven by Diane Moores to the SCCA C Stock national championship in 1995. It still had the longer studs and spacers when I bought it. The original owner traded it in on a newer one. With the spacers the wheel is only centered by the lug nuts not by the hole in the center of the wheel not good for a street car. I worked in a machine shop so I used a press instead of a hammer. I still have the car and it has just been a street car all these years for me.
Good vid, I guess you did now really need to lengthen the studs just for a 5mm spacer.
Yeah I’d really recommend it. Stock studs only had 3 or so turns on the lugs. Feel much better with these!
I did this a couple years ago
i got a 91 miata with a swapped 95 motor. I bought it for 650. dude was getting rid of it. I'm in florida and rust was insane. although it's hard to maintain in the Florida weather I'd say its atill worth it for 650
For sure, great deal for a running car
The PC in the background😍I have the "big sister" of this case
Haha awesome! Probably almost time to start thinking about upgrading my pc.
Very useful video thanks! I was able to replace my alternator within an hour. I don’t have experience with repairs, but it was an easy job. I got to do timing belt,aluminum radiator,waterpump next. Probably going to the shop for that.
do it own your own ! it’s not too hard im in the middle of doing it now. only thing that sucks is some of these pensky nuts are a little tough to remove since they haven’t been touched in like 30 years
Great video, is that the alternator from a 1.8? The belt seems different than mine
No 1.6, w/ an OEM 1.6 V belt. If you get a belt from the parts store they're usually ribbed. They work fine but OE on the 1.6 is a smooth v belt.
I am buying my first Miata today, a Mithra.. so excited ❤
I want to buy a working Miata but they are so expensive. I just hope to find one soon
I've been looking at miata na they are going up at least 7.5 or even at 10k for one, sadly
@@chrislagunas2000 I just expect to pay $10k for one and an additional $5k just to get it up to good working order. I know that might be a bit much but I want one so bad it'll hopefully be worth it
Miatas are one of the cheapest sports cars for the specs and they're classics. And they're still under $10k. That's cheap for that much car. If you want a really cheap car just buy any Buick or Chevy with a 3800, change the oil and drive it for 10 years for $1500.
Thanks for The video Brow ,it's rare to see a HD video doing Jobs in the engine bay 😅
Thanks Alex
Yuh! 👍🏼
Wouldn’t paint flakes fall on project second time u use it
Definitely a concern. I would blow/mop it out in between jobs.
Didn’t know I needed this until I did. No more lame old prop rod
4:02 - Just unscrew the plastic covers / housing and then you can adjust the Headlights with a Screwdriver ;)
Watching this is 2024. You almost can’t get a running miata for 4300 😂
Fr 😂
Still kicking myself for selling my 95 M Which I could hardly give away barel 5 years ago 😤😤
Oof yeah that’s tough.
Thanks for going through this all in detail!
How prices have changed since this video was first published and the follow up. There's one local to me that's one owner, fairly low milage, and $18K USD.
Insane!
