Hello Paul,


Though they are bit of a drive from Knoxville, Panic Motorsports in West Columbia, SC always has a large selection of Miatas on hand ranging from absolutely stock through winning auto-x and road race ready cars. I was there on Wednesday to drop-off my auto-xer for its annual "get ready for the upcoming season" check-up/servicing, and both their shop building and storage areas seemed to be full of cars for sale. If interested, call Panic's owner Steve Bertok, 803 261-7629 and, or checkout their Facebook pages. Panic is considered to be at the top of the "short list" for the best Miata performance shops in the US. (Hell, if they can build & maintain affordable cars reliable and fast enough for a senior citizen driver to qualify for the Runoffs as well as drive very competitively at local auto-x events, they must be good!)
