Due to a broken Rover I find myself needing a cheap car, been offered a 97 MX6 with 90,000 up, black with grey leather, air con, uk car, full mot, months tax, 4 new tyres, tidy (havent seen it yet) condition according to owner, hes had it three years and is the second owner.

What do you lot reckon ?

Any good, is that a good point to start haggling, i.e. 2895 ?

 

Nice cars, not cheap to service, but its got a smooth engine. Only thing to watch out on them that I know of is problems with the top end. They have a habit of draining all the oil out of the top end of the engine when stopped, so when you restart it takes a while for the oil flow to return. Listen for the usual tapping once the oil is flowing properly, it will sound tappety when first started anyway.

 

Aparrantly quite a good car all round. Certainly a much better car than its sister - The Probe.

 

Got one for sale 2 owners from new ,the last one for 7 years (us) 12 months MOT ,Met blue, cruise, CD,remote cental locking ,uk car,£1500 ta Colin

I'm near Frodsham Junc 12 M56 ,only problem is I'm in hospital tommorow having an op ,so will be out on Friday ,hope you're not in too much of a rush ta Colin

 

Nah, no hurry but wouldnt mind a photograph (of the car)

PM me a few more details

 

Bit of an old thread, but there are a few nice ones around for less than £1000.

165hp RWD?!?!?! Anyone else had one?

 

Its front wheel drive mate

 

Er, I have moved on since then, I bought a Saab, then another Saab but I am alright now...

 

Just wrong

I know you are Saab man now Jacko

 

For the time being mate, though mine is alright I dont think I would get another, its fast, looks nice and is ok to drive but its not great on fuel, not built that well and not exactly the last word in fun, it would murder my old Mk2 Golf GTI but its just not as engaging.

Its a bit slower than my mates PPP'd Scoob, but not that much.
