What a beauty, you have found a cherished car that should serve you well, now get out there and have fun
Cheers mate, I intend to
What a top result! Well done for persevering though, I’m not sure I’d be as disciplined, but it’s paid off in spades by looks of it - it’s a cracker. As pjr said, it looks like a rare cherished one. Great find!
Cheers Telly Addict. I just really went to see this one on a whim as I was expecting it to be poor, how old it was. So pleased I did. I think its as somebody mentioned in this thread, that not all dealers are equal. Hodgsons Mazda at Gateshead, Newcastle, were top-notch, compared to my previous experiences
I’m certainly no expert on these cars, but I would suggest to anybody buying one, to keep looking as there are loads of them for sale. A good one will turn-up eventually.
Glad someone else doesn’t like all this electronic crap, I bought the basic mk4 just a radio & I pod connection. Got it all on the Kuga and used it twice last month! Can’t manage driving fast and sending e mails at the same time!
smashing looking motor, or maybe I’m a bit biased…
Another true red.
Looks good.
Looks like you got a high result there; worth being patient.
True Red The best colour…
Nice motor, just like mine. What suspension has it got fitted, as it looks lower?
everyone has their own idea as to the best colour - velocity red is my favourite! I reckon you could get a decent 5 for a sight less than 10k. and use the rest of your budget on fuel and get driving!
I bought my baby from ebay. Mk3 LE 10 years old now. I wouldnt necessarily recommend it (eBay) but I got very lucky!
good luck and welcome to the fold - maybe see you at the Spring Rally?
