Allen,

See my previous post on the subject, but here in California, Miata's are
collected (even from other scrapyards) by "specialists" and you're lucky to
be able to buy a set for less than $400-500. not onlt that, but you have to
Sna Jose or Stockton to even see them. That's a 60 to 100 mile treck. I got
lucky and found a set in a local yard for a $150 after some haggling,  but
I can ususally often find good seats from other cars in good condition for
$50 a pair from the same yard. $200 with the speakers doesn't sound too bad
if they're in good condition. At least not here... on the other hand, I
live in one of the most expensive places in the country.
