A 19k-mile 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring PRHT just sold for $23,000, which is strong money for this particular spec.

This Miata is the kind of car that makes Mazda fans nod in approval. With just 19,000 miles on the clock, it’s practically a time capsule. This version features a 2.0-liter inline-four engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission, making it a blast to drive. The hardtop retractable roof adds versatility, while the Jet Black Mica exterior and Spicy Mocha leather interior bring a touch of class. The car’s one-owner history and low mileage make it even more appealing. Buyers know that manual transmissions and rear-wheel drive are key elements for a fun driving experience, and this Miata checks all those boxes.

The price of $23,000 landed just above the fair value estimate of $22,400, making it a fair deal considering the context. With 24 bids, it’s clear that interest was high, reflecting the demand for such low-mileage, well-maintained examples. The final sale price was only 3% over that fair value, which suggests that competitive bidding pushed the price to a reasonable level without going overboard.

The community’s reaction was positive, with comments highlighting the car's condition and asking about shared experiences. One commenter noted, “Nice buy on a well cared for Miata. This one sold for 75% of its original cost.” It’s a clear indication that buyers in the market recognize the value and appreciate what a well-maintained Miata can deliver.

For anyone hunting a similar car, pay close attention to service history and modifications. While this Miata had some nice upgrades, like the Moroso aluminum coolant-overflow tank and MX-5 Things roof controller, make sure any additions are quality. Also, inspect the condition of the interior and exterior. Low mileage is great, but proper care matters just as much. If you can find a similar model with verified service records, you might just score a deal like this one.
