Good luck with your new car. Friend of mine embarked on a 100 mile trip this morning hoping to buy this one:https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202311304436171?sort=relevance&advertising-location=at_cars&make=Mazda&model=MX-5&page=1&postcode=SS55PG&price-to=4500&radius=80&fromsra
Looked reasonable for the price, but when he got there he found it with the window open, soaked inside and dead as a dodo. He had phoned yesterday to make sure it was still available. Any decent person may have explained it was in poor condition but not the guy at this dealer.
So 200 miles and 4 hours later he is still looking.
Hi Chris
Interesting you said your dream is a blue MK1

The interior pics on their website doesn’t reflect what was found upon inspection. Shocking to find it like that TBH. Having said that you make your mind up on the detail/pics at the time, there isn’t actually any description to go on in the advert apart basic info about the car, not condition. On that info or lack of it I wouldn’t have travelled, too sparse.
What shame. That mould hasn’t grown overnight! No tax since August is also a bit of a warning flag.
Does seem cheap for that age and mileage? Maybe that’s one of the reasons, but doesn’t remove the need to advertise honestly.

I can sympathise. I drove over 100 miles to view one and had been in constant contact with the seller asking for honesty. Get there, car looks decent but parked beside a lorry in the shade. I pulled it out into the sun and it was a right state. What a waste of time I thought…
How inconsiderate, unbelievable really that a trader could be so slack.
Hope your friend finds his new toy soon…
NC model you have bought is a nice example especially as a special edition it has a few nice touches i always liked this edition but found it strange they had Red and white as choices as Kuro is Black in Japanese 
just my opinion but i would keep it all original enjoy Richy TDA

Welcome to the MX5 world. This is the very first and only car that made me want to go YeeeHaaa!! while driving.
You will enjoy the car and don’t forget to give your fellow MX5-vers a wave on the road.
