That much is true. I guess I kept thinking of how bad my carpeted

again, for the money invested, I'm still not convinced - ~$20 for
rubber mats that look great or at least double that for a set of
good looking carpeted mats. I honestly don't think I'd buy new
carpeted mats if I were selling the car. Then again, that's just
me. Don't think you'd get much return on your investment.
I know I didn't let the 'ratty' looking mats in my Miata sway me
from buying the car, nor did I use them as a bargaining tool to get
the PO to drop her price.
I still like my rrubber mats... ; )
I should have also mentioned that we don't want to pour in a lot of
money into the prettification of the car seeing as we've already done
that with the clutch, timing belt, rear window, clutch master slave,
and a tune up. We put $4k down on a Civic from credit which we hope
to at least make up on the sale of the Miata.
I'll definitely take a look at Target and Wal-Mart for these and
regular carpet mats (didn't think about just going to the store ;).
thanks for everyone's help and opinions!
