Newbie from Preston, Lancs after an NC

Hello everyone!

After deciding to give up motorbikes, I’m on a lookout for a solid NC 2.0 Sport. I love bikes, always been a big part of my life but having had 2 crashes (non fault) within 14 months and recently losing a friend due to a bike crash I’ve come to a conclusion it’s just too dangerous out there. I’ve read a lot and spent hours chatting about the “5s” and decided I need an NC in my life to keep me entertained, so if you have one for sale- hit me!

Thanks a lot,
Dave

Hi Dave and welcome from Nottinghamshire. I think you are making a sensible decision and listening to the “warnings”… One site that springs to mind is Prestige Vehicle Consultants in Saffron Walden, Essex. They specialise is quality used MX-5’s and a number of people here have bought from them. I’m sure you’ll find something nice and you’ll get help and advise from members here too…! :slight_smile:

Thanks Rob. Yeah, having a young family it just seems like a common sense. Few of my mates have mx5s and they all say there’s no going back, so I though I might see what it’s like :grin: had a test drive in an nc last night and bloody loved it- everything’s just so tight and planted- bit too tatty for my liking though so will keep looking. Thanks

I’m in the same market and contacted PVC last week. They have virtually no stock at present, as they feel prices are too high at the moment to bring new stock in and could be left with overpriced stock if prices suddenly take a downturn.

Crikey! Just 3 cars and 2 of them are ND 30AE’s which they’ve had for at least a couple of weeks…! :thinking:

Yep, another lapsed biker here - for the same reasons…

Got my NB 5 years ago and then my NC (2007 2.0 Icon) 2 years ago and absolutely love it

These guys aren’t far from you and always seem to have a good stock of 5’s

Thanks for all the input chaps. Bloody hell, prices really seem to have gone through the roof. Found another NC only few miles from where we live. 2.0 Sport, 65k but the chap wants £4.5k! It does look tidy though…

Whats the budget ?

Up to £4.5k, maybe a bit more if it’s really exceptional. Unless I come across a really nice mk2, but I just dont find them that appealing.

Thanks Keith, will do

Hi Dave,there is an nc coupe on a garage front on the a6 at garstang,on rhs going north it might be worth a look ?

Ah, thanks for that. I’m a regular on the a6 so will have a proper look next time. Is it the small garage in Cabus or the bigger one further down?

Yeh it’s the first one on the right after the the first right hand fork to garstang,just after the new houses
