Need An Honest Opinion

[teresa]

as you all know (well most of you) ive sold my galaxy because she was just to big for my needs if they did the galaxy in a 2 seater id change my mind but they dont so i havent ;)

 

right ive seen 2 cars that ive fell in love with today and unforunately they aint fords :16:

 

first ive seen a 1.8i maxda mx5 eunos 1993 its in a lovely bright yellow with yellow and black high back sports seats really comfy to sit in its done 133,000 kilometers its about

[tiny]

Both imports, eunos being the continental model name for the mx5(km's a bit of a giveaway), the barchetta will be LHD as they dont make a right hooker(correct me if im wrong).

 

Interestingly TopGear did a test on these 2 and an MR2 and (IIRC) the MX5 came out on top, but 3K seems a bit steep for an import.

 

Its worth checking insurance out on them as imports are often expensive to insure as a lot of mainstream insurers dont like them (especially in LHD).

[teresa]

yes thery are both imports mazda jap fiat is itailian and the fiat is LHD i checked the insurance 350 for mazda 380 for fiat the mazda is group 12-13 depends on insurer and fiat is group 18 but dont think thats bad for some fun just really dont know which one to go for and what to look for tried doing some reaserach but i need to join a club which cost Edited February 23, 2007 by teresag22003

The Mazda would be the best bet for reliability and quality, leading to much lower running costs. If it was my money, I'd go for the Mazda - great fun as well.

i think the mazda isnt as rare as the fiat so spares will be easier to source

teresa check out the eastbourne edition of the friday ad,you should be able to do it online,there seems to be a lot of mx5 for sale dunno if there in your price range but might be worth a look.

Friday-Ad is a very mature product in the south east of England, but not so well known in Congleton - I like Friday-Ad - it's owned by a farmer from Uckfield!

I hate to say it, but one of the best sources of cars is still Auto Trader.

T, you could also try visiting the auctions (but if you haven't gone auctioning yet, NEVER buy on your first visit - the auctioneer can spot newbies a mile away...). There are specialist auctions, too. http://www.british-car-auctions.co.uk/

lol el,wot u trying to say m8,

 

the web addy for friday-ad is

 

www.friday-ad.co.uk

 

they do seem to cover quite a bit of the country

Hi gregers!

 

I'm just saying that because Friday-Ad is fairly new 'up North' it won't necessarily be the best place to find a car up North! You never know, however. :16:

 

I sold some machinery to Friday-Ad a few years ago... :16:
