Light green with blue roof ?

Price sounds high, there is a Nevada on for £4k (admittedly an 02 with more miles etc)

It will certainly be easier to sell come March onwards.

2003, light green with dark blue roof, 48k miles, full service history, just had service, cam belt, 4 new tyres (16" alloys), brake discs and pads and MX5 parts sporty back box.

It's in really good condition - I was thinking in the region of £6200, or is that a bit high ?

Is it going to be better to sell now or wait until May or June ?

Assume you mean the very light green/silver colour (Cerion Silver)? Does it have the leather or cloth interior - and is it a 1.6 or a 1.8?

I paid £6300 for a 2004 1.8 Sport with less miles 12 months ago (and sold it for the same in June with 54k on) - so I think £6200 is probably a bit overpriced.

Looking on Autotrader there are quite a lot advertised for £6,000 though (mostly trade sellers), so maybe you aren't too far off. Seems that 5's haven't lost their value much at all in 12 months!

Autotrader only shows what price people are asking for them, not what they actually sell for

If it's up for £6200 at a dealer they might take £5800 for it in which case that would suggest a private sale price of no more than about £5300 or so - probably less as dealers tend to overprice MX5s.

Basically, it's worth what someone wants to pay for it. 2 identical cars might sell at very different prices, especially when sold privately.

I paid £5600 for a 2003 1.8 Nevada from a dealer back in October. Mine has got heated leathers, but has done more miles and whilst it has got a full service history, the cambelt is due for changing.

I probably could have haggled harder for mine, so for a private sale think it'll probably be below £5500.
