Heya all
Thought this the best place to post this. I mentioned on my facebook afew times was considering a MX5 as a sensible daily for winter.
Now one of my friends has offered me her Eunos, so this post is to get a general opinion on that one, but also more to ask where to look mainly on a MX5/Eunos when viewing
Firstly these are the picture she sent me:
s3.beta.photobucket.com/user/jacanthas_whip/library/For%20Sale/mx5
(if that link doesn't work let me know I'll copy the pics over)
And this is what she said about it:
'You more than likely already know this; the 'mileage' is in kilometres
The rust on the rear wheel arches was caused by blocked drainage pipes. They're now clear. :-)
A plus point, somebody in the last few years have put coilover suspension on it.
The headlights do pop up, well they did last time I drove it
It's a non runner as it's got no tax, and the brakes will need replacing (most likely seized as it's been standing),
also the mot will be up soon. The engine runs great though, it didn't miss a beat when I drove it to London a few months back.
Bodywork is so so, but I've mostly stopped the rust.
I think the mot is some time this month (December) I paid £750 with the idea of having summer fun driving and doing it up to make a bit of money next year.
Anyway I,d accept around £500 for it. I think it's worth every penny of that'
Now I've a rough idea on pricing of these, seems reasonable to me, but mainly where do I need to check on an MX5?
Thanks
xXx
