A garage near me is selling a 1993 mx-5 with just 85'000km. Looks like its new and claims not to have been used in the winter. Costs~4500£.

Does anyone think that's a good deal? (sorry I can't provide more info right now) I've literally got no idea about buying cars yet ^^

No, that is a terrible deal. It is £2500 too much.

No George it is a brilliant idea. An MOT, tax and service was due on the Clio, and the cambelt was 35,000/7 years over due. It needs two front tires to get through MOT, and even with all of that done it would have not put the price up much. Also the BMW is £31 a MONTH cheaper to insure, which is good.

And no, I never said I am, was or intended to buy a car in September? I will buy something early part of next year, Jan/Fed whilst the used market is flooded with people selling cheapee to try and secure new plates in March. September just happens to be a bonus and will give me a fair chunk of the saving.

Now was a brilliant time to sell it.

Not sure on prices over there, but over here about £2000 maximum is about right depending on a lot of things.

How much would it cost to buy one from here and drive it over? We have quite a lot of 'Eunos' models in the UK, come from Japan, as they have higher power, LSD, air con, and mostly in better condition because they don't use salt on the roads over there :)

Well, I have no receipt for the cambelt but was assured it was done. The new owner having looked at the service history can make his own assumption, I can't see why it wouldn't be done but as I said to the owner...No receipt no proof!

But for now I'm saying it wasn't just for persuasions sake.

Yes modding can begin, if it hasn't broken down in 6 weeks I'll spend some money on it.

Bucky, advise me? Cheapest ebay coilovers I can get, a set of wheels and strip the hell out of it?

Read the last couple of pages then, because that's not what's happened lol

And no Wrayvon I don't pay £80 when I want to put it on a car, I pay £104 for 1 year or £155 for three years and I can keep the plate on hold for three years and transfer it whenever I want inclusive of that price.

Ah fair enough, I stand corrected. (pretty similar effect though, you're still paying for it to put on another car eventually :))
