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....

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,

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.
