Hi there fellow PHers! I have made the unfortunate decision to sell my MX-5... I have been working within walking distance of home for the last two years and so it has been a bit of a toy for evenings and weekends but a change to a new job working 40 miles from home means I need something more sensible. The problem is I have no idea how much to ask for it, so was after some advice, to ensure I don't ask too much/ too little when putting it up for sale. I realise it is not worth a great deal of money at all but hoping to get as much as I can for it.
Spec:
L reg (1993) 1.6i model, UK spec.
Mariner blue, 127k (well cared-for) miles.
Shocks and springs replaced last year with Gaz adjustable (£400), fitted and then set up for 'fast road' by Tony at Wheels in Motion (£200), lowered as with standard suspension and wheels looked like it was on stilts.
Rota Slipstream Wheels (matt black) in almost mint condition, with 4 good Toyo T1-R's. (£500)
MX5parts Stainless exhaust
K&N 57i kit
Magnecor red leads
Black cloth roof with glass window (18 months old, £400)
Good interior, Momo steering wheel (the standard one that comes in certain models), also fitted white lockwood dials (red needles)
Pioneer CD player with Sony X-plod speakers
I had some welding done in August last year on the outer sills, by the seatbelt mounting points... there is a bit of rust on one wheel arch but nothing too bad.
Timing belt and alternator replaced 2 years ago at considerable cost.
I appreciate that I will not get back any of the money I have spent on it, and it's relatively high mileage (runs like a dream though). Any ideas? Or anyone that fancies swapping for a little 1.2 or 1.4 Clio?!!
It has been a fantastic little car that has done two trips round the alps and has been a lot of fun... but it's got to go! I need a quick sale but also don't want to get ripped off so HELP!
Thanks in advance for any advice. I will try and uploads some photos when I can take some!
