Latest purchase - Gayness ahoy!

gobbo · 2 Jun 2011 at 06:44

Put a deposit down on this last night, hopefully be picking it up within the next couple of days.

It's an early 04 on a 53 plate Mk2.5 Sport. It's the cleanest Mk2.5 I've been to view by a long long way, no rust at all anywhere, and for a 7 year old car it's pretty much immaculate bar a couple of very tiny scratches.

Best part is, it's on 70k and has a fully documented main dealer service history, every one on time with Mazda invoice numbers to back up and it's had cambelt/waterpump done at last service (63k).

Picked it up with 12 MOT and 6 Tax for a shade under £3800, which considering the condition I think is a fair price based on Auto Trader listings/Piston Heads/WhatCar/Parkers pricing!

Enjoy!

I like this! My girlfriend was looking at StreetKA's for this price and I was pushing her in this direction but she was unsure. Hopefully this will convince her otherwise

Do it, you'll end up driving it more than she does, I was really surprised how great they drive, even a really ropey one with no history and 100k drove like a new car

Lovely

These are my favourite shape MX5, glad it's not that dark green colour, they look vile

Could only be gayer if it was light blue mica.

Nice car

Crizzy · 2 Jun 2011 at 08:52

Looks very tidy, hope you have lots of fun in it

panthro · 2 Jun 2011 at 08:58

I reckon there are more MX5 owners on this forum than there are Mondeo owners.

Totally gay, but a good price and a nice looking car. Much prefer this shape to the Mk1.

Nice one, my fiancée has one of these in the same colour, lovely motor.

Durzel · 2 Jun 2011 at 09:30

Does this one have the storage attachment for the GHD tongs?

I'd say a pink Ka just edges a baby blue micra on the gayness scale

Suitably gay car is suitably gay.

AtomicBanana · 2 Jun 2011 at 10:15

Ok, seriously, can people stop buying MX5s on this forum!

(Good work

)

Firestar_3x · 2 Jun 2011 at 10:16

Just cause it's better than yours

Darryn · 2 Jun 2011 at 10:21

Very nice from the photos, im hoping to pick one up similar in the next couple of weeks... Just damn nearly dropped £14k on a mk3 but couldnt get on with the interior, much prefer the mk2.5 so ill save myself ~£10k

lordrobs · 2 Jun 2011 at 11:47

Looks like a cracking car for a very nice price. I'd have one myself by now if it wasn't for the gf's preference for holidays as a way of soaking up our spare cash

surely 14k is mk3.5 folding hard top money?

Darryn · 2 Jun 2011 at 11:59

Yup, it was... Folding hardtop was my main requirement, but, the plasticy awful interior put me right off... Until i borrowed my Hairdresser

sisters mk2.5 icon, and made the compromise of sorting somewhere to store the removable hardtop.
