It's an interesting way to sell a car : "let the market decide"...
I'll be keeping an eye on this auction, if it works I might try the same
thing for my car!

Interesting, but why spend all that money doing up an Automatic car !!! I
would have spent some of that changing it to manual - it is a sports car
afterall !!

I wondered about that too. Some of us (I do) have to drive autos for various
reasons even though they would far rather drive a manual. If it wasn't for
the auto in my car, some days I wouldn't be able to drive and enjoy it. Then
I get some good days and start to wish I had a manual!
An auto MX5 is still much more affordable fun than just about anything else.

The auction started at $10.00. He has no reserve on it. Will be interesting
to see what it gets to by the end of the auction!

Do you think that the seller meant $13,000.00 rather than $3,000.00 ???
sounds to be very very cheap

Seems very cheap. I wonder how recent the photos are? I agree on the auto.
Manual would be great but I have an auto for a number of reasons and I still
have a lot of fun driving it.

I don't think I would have spent that money on an auto, but auto certainly
has it's place.

I would far rather drive a manual, for the sheer difference in performance
and control, but I am not the only person who drives the car. Taking a
manual MX 5 to work in Auckland traffic would result in my wife having a
right leg like Kylie Minogue and a left leg like Arnold Schwarznegger!

Compromise is everthing! Which brings up a thought, the "Tiptronic" in my
Diamante is superb, now there would be a conversion worth paying for!

How about one of those new Mercedes Benz 7 speed autos with torque converter
lock up in every gear? That and 'Tiptronic' type control...ideal.
Just as well we can have dreams!
Now back down to earth as just been called out to a fault so it's the Diesel
auto Isuzu Bighorn today. Oh well...

From recent experience, I'd say that anything over $7000 is too much.
Preferably a lot less.

Maybe the owner doesn't know about the auction. Could be a disgruntled
spouse!!!
