David Horgan 564 Posted September 4, 2018 Just had a guy to see a car yesterday . Do you take choppers he says , Yes What do you have ? MX5 on private though its 2005 125,000 miles , OK I say look it up its 2003 at, he didn't want to know that 178,345 miles didnt want to know that either Then he starts , I want £1,500 for the car . £1,000 for the reg plate , £650 for the hard top , £200 for the tyres I've just fitted I'm selling it all as a bundle for £3,000 " BARGAIN " Your car is rusty though with NO service history , one key , ripped seats , hardly any paint left , and the rag top roof is full of holes . Was most offended when i told him its £50 at most , I don't want the Plate , I don't want the Hard top and if you really want you can have the tyres back cos its going to scrap . Scrap WOW now that did offend him LOL Needless to say we didn't do the deal BUT it was still outside two hours later as it had packed up , wouldn't start , got towed away by his friend BUNDLE PX I've never come across that before . Beware he's still looking out there somewhere Made us laugh when he had gone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHM 994 Posted September 5, 2018 F***ing MX5s. I’ve never had one but any punter arriving in an MX5 to see a car has been an absolute cock - I always assumed VW built them under licence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive only had two, the one I remember was an early 1.6 and it was a hoot, shed loads of fun... Not my cup of tea though, men in convertibles look like utter twats.

Had loads of them and they are great fun and have earned us good money over the years and apart from rusty bits are fairly bullet proof,, certainly more usable than an MGF or Lotus elise, but yes they are usually owned by cocks...
