The blue book price is around 1625, I think. Also, the odometer and tachometer only display intermittently. Speedometer and engine temp always displays. Car otherwise functions fine.

There is oil and water mixed in the oil pan. The milkshake and the engine starts up but runs very rough when idle. I think the head is messed up.

I have owned the MX5 for a few years and it has run excellent until now. It is the basic MX-5–no AC, needs paint. The car, when running was worth 1600.00. The mechanic says I need to get the head fixed which would cost around 900.00. Need advice—-should I sell the car for parts/junk it or get the motor fixed? Is an engine swap an option?

I own a few cars, and I drive the Miata to save gas and because it can be a fun drive. Don't really want to get rid of it. If I do, I may look for another.

Any advice would be helpful. Junk it or get it fixed?

PS It is a 92 Miata with 112,000 miles.
