Miata Mailing List: August 1998, Message #205

Welcome to the list.  I loved the post.

Boy what a dilemma a 99 or a classic 92 in yellow.  Either way you can't go
wrong.  Myself ...and this is the accountant in me coming out... I would get a
nice 92 yellow.  It is already a sought after classic and will cost you half as
much. Of course there is a rumor out there that Mazda is going to build a
yellow M-edition in 99.  I hope they don't uses the current tan leather with
the M if they do build it in yellow.  If they go with black or maybe red
leather...boy that would be a tough one to pass up.
Gee a nice 92 for maybe $10 or 12K or a brand new 99 for 20 something.  Oh I
hate these types of decisions.  Any  body got a coin to flip?
