2002 MX5 Sport

[Shotgun Rider]

I said in another post that I was going to buy a cheaper MX5 but so much for that I keep on going looking at a 52 Sport. This one, http://www.swilliamscarsales.com/sales.asp?Make=42...

Does this seem like good value? I drove it a few weeks ago and eveything seemed fine on it, I'm heading back this Sunday to have a more thorough look.

Thanks in advance

Seems reasonable, although perhaps on the high side. If you are willing to travel there's one here (page 6) http://dealerservices.autotrader.co.uk/28777/hillm... but there's more mileage on it. There's plenty of cars out there.

Looks a little toppy to me too.

Paid a little over £4K for an 02 incl hardtop with same miles as the second example a few months ago.

As said, lots of choice so take your time.

Is it still true, if it ever was that convertible values go up once summer starts?

[Bonefish Blues]

My observation is there is slight firming/softening of MX5s with the seasons, yes.

It always seems to me that the prices don't change, it's just that cars sell easier in spring/summer.

I thionk we've cleared that question up quite nicely between us, then!

I also noticed what Lazza said - the advertised prices dont really seem to change much, its just more that the ball is in the sellers court over summer. Your less likely to get a bargain as a buyer by waving money at people.

I agree with this .

Which makes sense. Thanks for all the replies.

It's easy enough to do this for yourself by setting up Autotrader alert(s) and monitoring advertised prices over the course of a few weeks & months as I was doing last summer/autumn.

I paid that for a 03 one owner 30K Sport about 6 months back so i would say it`s a tad expensive but not too bad if it ticks all your boxes.

Having said that you never pay the asking price so maybe there is a deal to be done on it. I paid £1000 less than the car was advertised for.........Money talks!

Take a look on Gumtree too. That`s where i found mine. Not such a big audience on there.
