Nothing to do with me personally, but this is a bit - of a BIG ask, IMHO

Ermmmm...that’ll be my fault....I bought my 34k mile M from them, the guy said he wondered if he’d sold it a bit too cheap so after the deal done I said he had a bit....

Fine job, keep up the good work and we can all retire early.

I’m sure Mrs. Buzyg could blow whatever you may get in an afternoon, I know my Dragon Lady has the necessary skills

Well I did buy her an Mx5 last month.

That seems a pretty hefty price for a roadster to me? I know when I was going through all the classified and eBay auctions in early Nov, £20,000 would get you a really nice E86 M with pretty low miles on the clock.

Not trying to take anything away from the roadster, but I saw something pretty similar going for £16,000 just over a month ago and I thought now is the worst time of year, market wise to be selling a roadster?

I think they’ve been looking at the market in Europe, especially Germany / Holland / Austria / Switzerland etc.... where these cars fetch considerably more than the 20k advertised here...

The Roadster’s been long overdue a price adjustment... this may be well OTT right now though come summer I’d laugh if we looked back to say ‘that was a bargain at 20k’

£20k seems a huge ask to me too, I would think closer to £17k at this time of the year, maybe £18k at a push (although it's knocking on 50k). Lets see how long it hangs around!

I own an MR but this is the wrong time to be getting top dollar for one, although I bought mine in January

Just noticed this, it seems pretty good value, assuming the brakes and service history are up to scratch?

70k 56plate ZMC in very fetching combo of silver grey with red leather for £17k if all stacks up that looks a good buy even in a depressed market

This has been on my radar.

Had a quick MOT check on this and doesn't look like its had too much love failing 4 MOTs and all for mostly the same problems. Headlight washer issues, its had a low disk/corrosion and low pad warning since 2010, tyre wall damage and low tread on nearly every MOT, brake pipe corrosion etc

Not seen headlight washer issues before, could mean a possible bump in the past? or is this common?

Minor things but doesnt give too much confidence, wonder what the history is like, ive inquired and waiting to hear back. It says on the ad well cared for... what ever that means. If it checks out will go have a look.

Headlamp washer bottles can gum up from stale water leaving a scummy film Tom, doesn’t take much to block the pump or pipes.

Thanks john seems its been an issue for the car since 2011 probably needs a good clean. Looks like the car needs a bit of love and if checks out could be a nice motor

My headlight washer on my old 3.0si coupe had broken, didn’t realise until the MOT. Reason being the pipe had split and when under pressure, the water wouldn’t make it out the nozzle.
