Hello dear MX5 fans, I, 20 years old, have before me to fulfill my great dream of MX5. Unfortunately the offer here (Oldenburg +50km) is not exactly huge. Nevertheless, I found one nearby. Today drove and looked at. And then came the euphoria brake. Short time the data: price 2450€, negotiated down to 2.000€ 99er model with 1.6er machine, ran 112.000km, made timing belts. Lack ok, engine ok, tyres ok, cover and interior “sufficient”. ommen, rear apron and boot lid are slightly crooked. But now to the important: rust on the thresholdrs. I know that there was a topic here a few times, but I would like to discuss it again if it is ok. The thresholdrs are more or less down. If you press the side skirt in front of the wheel at the bottom, you can really hear the rust, if you understand what I mean 🙂 Furthermore, he doesn’t look so beautiful from below, including longitudinal beams. and it’s really fat this anti-rust mass (what’s the name of the stuff?) peed on the bottom. So: Is there anything else to save? I have targeted a “bastel budget” of 500 to max 700 euros. Or is this all forgiven love trouble? Should I rather wait for a “better”? MfG Mike
