FOR SALE - GREAT little car, for a STEAL!!!

**onearmedbandit** · 28th March 2006, 16:27

Dave, I'm in the industry and even I couldn't buy one at this price. Fuck me, if I was up your way I'd look at it to put on my yard. But I suppose the idea is to pass it onto a KB'er for a great deal.

THIS CAR IS INCREDIBLY CHEAP - TOO CHEAP EVEN- A GOOD UPHOLSTERY SHOP COULD REPAIR THE ROOF FOR LESS THAN QUOTED - DO NOT LET THIS OPPORTUNITY PASS IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET

Cute little car, would been keen cept I don't live any where near you. Good luck with the sale though.

**StoneChucker** · 28th March 2006, 18:39

It's good to hear from people in the know about this, thanks OneArmBandit

And that's exactly the point, a good deal to a KB'er, preferably. It does seem that it might go to a friend of a kb'er though, IF the first couple interested parties pull out. But a friend of yours, is a friend of mine

[SARCASTC] EVEN if this IS a car advert on a bike site.....

[/SARCASTIC] What was I thinking.

cause of petrol prices, car prices are rock bottom at the moment. Unfortunately the reverse is true for <250cc motorcycles for the same reason.

You can get a hell of a lot of car for 5 grand these days.

crap that is a good price. I would happily buy it for the missus if i was in welly! In fact, i will chat to her tonight, is worth a drive to welly at that price.

Don't know about private, but dealer sales are strong and we haven't had to adjust our prices because of fuel. Some people may decide not to buy that larger capacity car or petrol v8 4x4 but there is always someone who needs/wants exactly that. And those that don't buy something smaller.

I would buy it in a snap but that would mean giving up on the bike search :spudwhat: Which i cant really do.

P.S. How much leg room has it got?

**Motoracer** · 29th March 2006, 23:55

Damn... I just was not quick enough...

You can have a ton of fun in thoes things. Great cars! (if you are man enough to see past the 'hair dresser' comments)..

**Virago** · 2nd April 2006, 15:32

Hey SC,

hey MM.
i'm 6'2 and mine has ample legroom.
this is my second MX5 - and i've had this one 8 years.
it's the perfect car for a biker - no roof so you don't get that "in a coffin" feeling.
BUY THAT CAR.
it's a LOAD of fun for $2k.

Ken

if you are buying a new roof - go for one with a GLASS rear window.
mine has one and i could never go back to that damn plastic one that goes opaque every two years.
quite a few Kiwibikers have MX5s now or in their past...
