I'm looking for you're opinion on this car and if I should get it?

Beautiful looking car, way out of my range, price-wise.
Before buying I think you should try driving as many different models as possible, you may find that a mk2 would suit you, maybe not.
What were you driving before??

a little steep, pricewise. look up usedcarsni and you'll find a range of cars from 02-04 ranging from £4500 to £7500. most are in dealers and some have hardtops. aim for 10% discount with no trade in. the silver 03 on carzone is much better value at just under €8000. i know the mileage is bigger but looked after these engines are bulletproof.

Thanks Guys, Im actually a MX-5 Veteren, I had the MK2 in my signature, afterwards I bought a New Lotus Elise (crashed it) and now I have a 325i M convertible.

I agree on the price, they come in around £6-7K in the UK and another €2K VRT comes close to what it should be I recokon....

[leamyj]

Lotus Elise eh?? VERY nice..seen some fine ones at the 'Ring a few weeks ago.One guy had just arrived having driven from Paris in his, it was the mutts nuts. He was a little bit miffed when Richie pronounced " I have that same engine in my MR2"

You'd be miserable in an mx-5... After going lotus and m beamer why would you wanna step back into a slow amazing handling car?????!?!?!

Diarmuid

Way nicer car..

[Diarmuid]

Nah, i was looking for a 2.5 or a really special Mk2 but I don't like the wheels on that JC one.

Diarmuid,

The price for that Nevada is way off beam.

I bought another one of them recently, crashed my previous on Ice before Christmas.

Its an 03 Nevada - same colour, 1.6, 50k miles, inc hardtop. Cash from mazda main dealer garage with one year warranty for €8500.

Nice lookin Motor Benobi,

Small thing - might be worth putting the YEAR into the blurb about the car. I know - I spotted that in the pic's, but some people might not get that far.

Good price, sorry to here you have to sell,
Aidan

[Diarmuid]

Thats pretty much exactly what I want and I would defo be interested, but the only reason I can't buy it tomorrow is I still have to sell my 03 325i convertible to raise the funds.
