[LNHalton]

WANTED​

​

​

• Mk1 mx5
• Manual
• 1.6
• Mariner blue (Open to other colours)
• Black interior is a must
• Roadworthy
• NO rust is extremely favoured
• Good body and paint condition
• EARLY 90's... I want it with 114bhp as standard.
• Preferably an import
• £1000 or under.

Now, the reason it's 'a little early' is not because of the time I'm posting this at, it's because I haven't got the money for it yet.

I'll inherit a bit of money in May and it'll be enough for me to insure a 1.6 import with about £1000 left to buy the car with, so if you're up for selling your Mx5 to me in May, message me on here or if you're a member of Mx5Nutz, my username on there is LNHalton and I go on there a bit more than here at the moment.

Cheers guys, in advance! :thumbsup:

Craig!!!!!

I think this is one for you to look out for

 

[Craigjessop]

Will have a look, going to struggle at finding a good one for under £1000. I will start with Autotrader.

 

[Craigjessop]

Looking on ebay ive seen an early G plate 1990 in red with only 54600miles by a seller called derby- classics13, its a auction sale with bids standing at just over £500 at the moment with 9 days to go, might be worth putting on your watch list??

 

[LNHalton]

Hi Craig, cheers for that! I'll have a look although I won't be able to afford until May

 

[Craigjessop]

I will keep on looking, I will look above your £1000 limit in the hope you can get the car within your budget if you haggle so will look at cars up to £1400.

 

[LNHalton]

Oh, I haven't thought of that! Thanks

 

[Craigjessop]

Found a possible car? Its a red MX5 (Eunos model) 1990 on a G plate, 87000miles, part service history, private sale, car on autotrader website and located in Huddersfield, it has a fresh MOT on it until 11/3/2015. £995 tel 01484 954677 ( Telesafe number)

Whatever you do check sill condition and underside if viewing.

 

[LNHalton]

Cheers mate!

I've found one myself, white one, 1990 model (eunos I think) looks like a great car, not sure of full details yet but it's had a lot of work done to it in the past 12 months including a £600 sill rebuild and paint... That's for £1000 in Cheshire and I may go and view it, he also understands my current financial situation and said he will take a £100 deposit until I get the money in May

 

[LNHalton]

Actually it's £1200 that white one

 

[LNHalton]

Found this on Autotrader, looks decent? What do you guys think? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201311129853500/sort/default/usedcars/radius/1501/maximum-age/over_10_years_old/price-to/1500/transmission/manual/fuel-type/petrol/page/1/model/mx-5/postcode/sk144an/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/engine-size-cars/1-4l_to_1-6l/make/mazda?logcode=p

Is that a dent on the front?

or is it the way the reflection is

 

[LNHalton]

I think it's a dent, not sure how it's happened but my cousin does bodywork repairs so I could get him to sort that if no structural damage has been done

 

[LNHalton]

Been talking to the guy about the white one, he'll accept £1000 for it with a £100 deposit when I get the money... It's a 115bhp '92 (J reg) UK model with electric windows, that sill rebuild etc and all that's been mentioned above, roof is a little tatty but water tight, drivers seat has a small rip in it but that isn't an issue for me... It looks a stunning little car!

I'm really interested in it... UK models are cheaper insurance for me which is a plus! I only really wanted the Euno's cause they're all 114bhp but then I learned that UK models up until '94 have 114bhp too!

I'll post some pictures up so you guys can take a look if that's ok?

 

[LNHalton]

Gonna upload the link to my photobucket in a minute

 

[LNHalton]

"http://s1370.photobucket.com/user/Leenhalton94/embed/slideshow/" this should work (I hope)

 

[badman]

That looks tidy Lee.

Don`t forget to unzip your rear plastic window when dropping the hood

otherwise it may crack on a cold morning.

It`ll will soon be May

 

[LNHalton]

Cheers for the advice, I'll note it down so I can remember it if this thread gets removed once I get it :')

I know I can't wait! I may be able to get the deposit next week aswell!

Just need someone to come with me to have a proper look at it.. Time to call my Dad!

 

[Pat]

Sounds like this one has taken your heart Lee

Like i always say they choose us

 

[LNHalton]

It has Pat!

Oh yes they do!

Hopefully the person who owes me a little over £200 will pay me on the date arranged (20th) so I can put the deposit on it
