Been considering.......
Discussion
a MX-5 queue the shock and horror.
Been looking at mk1's and mk2's. I do prefer the mk1 over the mk2 in the looks department.
Found a lovely looking mx5 mk1 1.8iS which has done 103000 miles, I don't want to do the stereo typical "*sigh* high miles its not worth it" stance due it being 13-14 year old car I think that's fairly good.
It looks clean from the pictures which I will confirm in person. Also it has had its sills repaired by a previous owner which I understand is a common problem. Also has got a full service history except for a service last year where the current owner did a oil/filter/sparky change himself as he only did a few thousand miles. It is also having a MOT done this weekend with new rear disks and pads.
Also it had the cambelt done at 69000 miles in 2004 so could be good for another year or so.
Does this sound good? Obviously I have to drive it to be doubly sure and check it over with my eyes.
Is there anything I need to keep an eye out for or any advice? as a newb mx5 future owner.
