try this link.. but just don't adjust mileage options etc otherwise you have to pay for it..

Go straight in on the left, and then it give you derivitives etc.. then the prices come up

Thanks Paul

Yes, 1,8 .... I think/thought the sport only came in 1.8 - maybe the 1.6 also had a Sport option?

Was there a Retail price there?

Was that on the Vauxhall site, cos I looked there??

You won't get a retail price from glass' due to it being a trade book Pete

I thought the trade, who put cars up for RETAIL got the RETAIL price from there?

Or do they just mark-up their own amounts??

Thinking of maybe buying a newer MX5, the prices for the 2004's have/should drop now the new model is out.

My MINT 1995 RED MX5 may well be up for grabs then - anyone for a minter MKI with full history and very low miles and a folder full of history?

I think the early ones have achieved classic status already, but this won't mean much for years to come.

Why not wait a year or so and pick up an ex demo year old new shape one?
Yours won't be worth much less and the new one is suppoed to be very good

You're all facking illiterate.

It's Glass's Guide. A guide that belongs to Glass.

It's not "Glass' Guide" because the apostrophe following the 's' is only correct if the preceding word ending in 's' is a plural.

Jehovah give me strength.

Thats an option .... I like the new one - I have taken 2 out on test runs.

Its a car that sits in the garage and does 1500 miles a year - buying NEW and doing that is criminal IMO.

So, I have spotted a MKII in Black, a Sport, with nearly 4000 miles on it ... to all intents and purposes, new. It will still lose money but they level off over decades and then climb in value.

My MKI is indeed a Classic, it has a Classic Car Insurance Policy and it's probably the best example of a MKI 1995 for 50 miles around ...... it is simply a fantastic car - but, I have an urge to go see this Sport - might think the 'extra' just isn't worth it.

For 1500 miles a year it is a waste of cash buying 'new', how much is the MK2 up for and what year?
