From a 2-second skim read (I'm running out the door now) I'd say:-


Ooooh


and


YIKES!


Respectively.


Have you come into some cash Flibbs?

Didn't someone post about the black one recently?
They're both feckin great, but for quite different reasons.
If it were my money I'd snap up the R2, mostly because it's more unusual & interesting,imo.

At this moment there is precisely nothing that I wouldn't do for £10k.




Edited to add: Hello - reason for sale, need to save money for house move.

BUT

Will part exchange for a "PORSCHE 911 COUPE 98 0nwards"

Um, selling a '2 to save money and running a 911 instead?

The first one looks nice and clean black cars (not common stuff) are quite sexy.

The second has a shopping trolley handle stuck onto it.

Adjustable oem spoiler. Hang on, haven't you got a spoiler on your Impreza?

Phil- 10k is about the going rate for a cosmos blue rev5 MRT- infact it's the cheapest I've seen.

Make that 10 rev5's of any colour, I've seen 3 cosmos blue ones. Rare as hens teeth.


Well my car buying plans for this year have just been cut short. Aiming to get a flat by the new year. So need to save up and clear some student debts etc once I finish uni at the end of May.

Couldn't have stretched to 10k but I did see a nice Rev 5, NA in Cosmos blue up for about 6k on another site.

silver one is too much £ for the mileage (at 75k on original engine you should be looking at £4k to allow for the rebuild cost), the black one is a bit rich as well £8k and you should be looking at a car with a recently rebuilt engine.

the wing on the rear of the silver one isn't to everyone's taste (mine included) but if it is an original item it is either a Mazdaspeed or a Re-Amemiya and as such is quite expensive and does has a resale value!

Cut short by how much? Sticking with the Golf, or getting something inbetween the MR2 and the VW?


Probably sticking with Golf for another year, then look at getting something different.

That Rev 5 MR2 must be pretty quick

Btw Iv'e always been told to avoid higher mileage rotary engines. Was recently thinking about getting an RX-8 as a company car, but I went for a spin with a mate in his and to be honest was a bit dissapointed, nothing like as nimble as the MR2, it felt more like a fast saloon car.

You don't have to avoid rotarys with higher mileage, just make sure you are paying the right money for them. On average a rebuild costs £2500 and a good condition 11-15 yr old car with a rebuilt engine should be worth between £7k & £9k. If you could find a good condition say 93 (L) car with high mielage for £4.5k then it is worth buying, put the £2.5k aside and have the engine rebuilt, you then have a good car with a new, waranteed engine for £7k!
