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

    Hi Guys, great deal ahead with a giveaway price, and benefit to KB members!

    That's right, the time has come for me to sell the car talked about so much on KB. The car that once adorned the many great KB logos on the KB Rally. Yes, the car that was called the hairdresser's car, but also the car rated as the best value for money sports convertible, by Top Gear. Great handling and feel, and enough performance for NZ roads. It's economical with it's 1600cc engine, as well as being light weight and very cheap to insure.

    The specs are:

    Make/Model: Mazda Eunos Roadster (MX5 for NZ/UK ppl, and Miata for you US folk)
    Year: 1990 (Yes, with the pop up lights)
    5 Speed Manual
    Odometer: 118K kms
    Engine: 1600cc
    Color: Blue body, Black Soft Top/Convertible Roof
    Sound System: JVC 12 Disc CD Stacker, Removable face plate with tape player, CD stacker in boot. Component Speakers (Front + tweeters) with speakers in headrests.
    Alarm & Immobiliser
    Central locking (Keyless entry with the alarm keyring thingamabob)
    Electric Windows
    Power Steering
    Air Conditioning (Needs re-filling / regassing / whatever they do to A/C)
    Momo Steering Wheel
    Soft Top Cover (to fit when roof is folded away/down)
    K&N Air Filter
    NEW Front tyres, rear tyres with plenty wear left.
    Space Saver Spare Wheel (With footpump)

    Current WOF and REGO until 7 July 2006

    Important Info:

    The only serious issue, is the fact that the soft top/roof cover needs replacing. I haven't replaced it myself since the main issue is that it detracts from the looks, which I don't really care about, and that it only leaks slightly (you stay dry!). However, I have enquired into the cost of having the fabric/cover replaced ($900 - $1200), and am subtracting it from the price. That way you can replace it and have a really good car, or save the moolah and ignore the one small section of white tape I've "fixed" it with.

    I bought the car in March 2001. Since then, up to my accident in June 2005, I have had only 2 issues which caused me to break down / need assistance. The first was a split radiator top/hose, which was replaced and pressure tested, functioning as normal. The second was a blocked fuel filter, which was replaced, and now functions as normal.

    I have had regular servicing and maintanance done, and have the receipts for those (as well as the radiator repair from above). Past servicing/maintanance & replaced items include water pump, water hose, cam belt, water pipe, plug leads, clutch slave, Tappet cover gasket, rear disc machining, brake pads and regular oil/filter changes.

    The car itself is in very good condition for its year. Upon close inspection there are stone chips on the front bonnet/hood, and a few stone chips/slight scratches on the drivers door. In general, these are only noticable if you know where to look. Mag wheels are in ok nick, not mint and shiny, but perfectly fine when washed properly.

    My price to you (Including subtraction of Soft Top replacement)
    PRICE: $2000 neg
    Preferable payment by Bank deposit (direct/online), Bank guaranteed cheque or Cash. For trusted KB members I will happily work out with you a NO INTEREST term payment plan (monthly payments, deposit and term are very negotiable to suit any individual).

    I have to sell soon, as in the next couple of weeks, or I'll trade it in to the dealer when I buy my car (also in the next couple of weeks)

    Cheers,
    Dave.

    PS: Pics of car do not show the condition of the roof accurately. Partly due to angle, and partly due to the pics being old. The body work is showen perfectly

    PPS: I will insist on the LTSA reccommended procedure of sale of a motor vehicle. That is, correctly changing the ownership of the vehicle, and bringing me the receipt of that transaction. I don't want any of you guys' speeding and parking fines :P

    That IS a great price Dave!

    I'd buy it in a flash but I have to have a rear seat 4 times a weeks. BUGGER!

    Thumbs up Thanks

    You're right, it looks like I've just about sold it, in like 5 or 10 mins! Someone actually commented that it's TOO cheap... However, I've checked on the going rates, subtracted the cost for a new roof AND subtracted a nice KB discount. KB and everyone on it has given me much more in memories and friends, than I could possibly indicate here!

    Btw, it's not sold yet, just incase anyone is interested.

    Dave.

    NB Addendum

    As added to the bottom of the first post, I will insist on the LTSA reccommended procedure of sale of a motor vehicle. That is, correctly changing the ownership of the vehicle, and bringing me the receipt of that transaction. I don't want any of you guys' speeding and parking fines :P

    Don't you worry yourself, the Jihad has commited itself to a new cause (owner) and Flash missed out too! Haven't heard much from him lately (not since I sold the Jihad) I think he's sulking coz he missed out!

    Good work on the car Dave - must be something about your sales skill that I don't have? Or is it the product?

    Arrow Odometer correction...

    Sorry guys, it's 118K, not 108K. I haven't looked at the dash for so long, I was out by 10!

    I guess it's the product Colapop, and my advert writing maybe?? Who knows. One thing I do know is how much I'll miss the car, or more precisely, how much I'll miss the life I had when I had the car. I stuck on the stereo and sat there for a while, first time I've been back in the car since my accident (my folks drove it once a week to keep everything ticking over)

    no

    Nope, don't even have the horse anymore... For a number of reasons, it didn't work out (safety to horse, me not being able to do certain care jobs that need daily doing, etc...)
