Mazda MX-5 Miata 25th Anniversary Edition Sells Out In 10 Minutes
Were you hoping to get your hands on one of the 100 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata 25th Anniversary Edition roadsters? Alas, you can stop holding your breath: All 100 were sold within 10 minutes.
Autoblog reports Mazda opened its pre-order site for the roadster on Tuesday with the idea of keeping it open until the end of May or when 250 customers registered. Ten minutes later, 250 customers signed up, leaving the automaker with the unenviable task of contacting and verifying the first 100 who will be granted the opportunity to order this particular MX-5.
Once the customer chooses either the $32,205 six-speed manual or $32,655 six-speed sport automatic with manual shift, “the customer’s information will then be forwarded to the dealership of their choosing to finalize the transaction.” All models come with a retractable hard top, the Soul Red paint found on the Mazda6, special badging inside, and a custom Tourneau watch among the pieces available.

Bring back the pop up lights man! Those were awesome.
It seems odd to me that no one has been buying the NC3, but people are lining up to pay a premium for a special paint job now that the car is in its final year.
Last year I bought a 1990 with 73000 miles in beautiful shape for $4300. Unless you plan to use your Miata as a daily driver, I'd recommend that approach as a far superior financial proposition vs this 25th anniv car.
The elevated red lift-up bit behind the shiny black roof looks odd to me. I think it would end up much more cohesive if monotone.
