mx5 na - how much can i expect to pay
hey guys,
newbie here. i realise this topic is probably posted a lot but i couldnt find it in the forum search.
anyway hoping someone might be able to tell me what the going rate is for a tidy, mechanically sound, stock na. not too fussed on 1.6/1.8etc and willing to wait it out a while. in auckland btw.
wheres the best place to look... trade me, here, other sites? what kind of kms can i be expecting (and not be worried about)? thanks

My first came out of Wellington. MINT Stock 1.6 na with a big rad, adjusties, hardtop 230kms and I got it as part trade towards another car I had (owes me 3 on paper), and then put some big brakes in, and when I look at selling it, I will be wanting about 5 for it (buyer already lined up)
My second came from Chch, and is a 1.8 turbo na 30k since motor rebuild with forged internals, adjusties, mans roll cage and cost me 8600. I have since put another 1000 into it. Equivalent/lower cars are on trademe for 12-14k.
So, after all that and always surfing trademe here is what I see
2-3 low end high k's
3-4 low k's/
4-5 special editions
5-6 any with hardtop
6-7 low as shit (ride height) ones
7-8 well made modified ones
10+ turbo.

Yep Papamoeziz has the right idea.
Some bargains can be had if you hunt around on the Facebook groups for long enough. I picked up a blue 90' 1.6 NA for 2k a few months ago, done 250,000 k's. Little rough around the edges but a good buy nonetheless.
Then I got lucky and bought a 93' 1.8 NA for 3k just a month ago, hardtop and a few other goodies.
Don't be too disheartened by some of the dreamers on TradeMe, you'll honestly find some more realistic prices on the forum or the NZMX5 facebook group.

I pulled cash out straight away and was a pushy prick lol, didn't want to miss out on the deal. It does need the driveshaft replaced/rebuilt, which is proving to be painful to find a 1.8 one..Timmo wrote:Oh it was YOU! haha I was going to look at that car the afternoon that you purchased it.Skilfil wrote:

You would be very lucky to get one with so little ks on it, and they'd probably be asking a fortune for it if there was. Not that it would be worth it. The rotating/reciprocating parts in an MX5 take ages to wear out, so medium ks is not an issue, and things like bushes on a car that old will need replacing due to age not wear.
