Off the top of my head, within the last year the car has had,
new battery
new starter motor
new distributor
couple of tyres
new front discs and pads
new rear ball joints

also cambelt was done at 115700 miles. clutch is good. gearbox good, except from a little crunchy going into 5th at high revs. Engine pulls really well. Will need a couple of front tyres at some point within the next year but perfectly legal now. Rears are practically new. Air con doesn't blow that cold. I suspect it just needs re-gassing as it worked perfectly well earlier on this year but I went away for quite a few months and it was left standing. Not that it ever gets used in this country anyway. passenger electric window switch doesn't work. passenger window mechanism itself works perfectly fine as it operates from the driver side controls. Pence to replace if it bothered you.


I've owned the car for over three years and loved everything about it. The previous owner had her for 9 years so although i think its had 5 previous owners, its changed hands only once in 12 years. The car does unfortunately suffer from some honda rust on the rear arches, but to be fair, not too many of these are rust free these days.
I'm a full time student as of septemer last year (unfortunately i'm nowhere near 18 though) so I've no real need for a car these days. My mate, however, is trying to persuade me to get an mx-5 though, so this may end up going towards that come spring, rather than books(beer)

Car is located in Leeds

I got my lude while I was still at Uni, took every excuse to go for a drive Not the cheapest car for a student to run though, especially these days with the petrol prices.

Tell me about it. I use my SV650 as my daily hack so having a car as well is definitely a tad extravagent. It is nice when you need to go shopping though, although you quicky turn into a free taxi for everyone.

There is a good chance I may be picking up an mx5 tomorrow morning, so if that happens i'll be open to cheeky offers on this, since I only have a permit for 1 car and dont fancy forking out for another one while this is up for sale!

800!!!

picked up a cheap mx5 this morning so this needs to go asap as I only have 1 parking permit. Everything works, long tax and test etc...

any interest at 700 before an honest car gets crushed??

Have you tried it on pistonheads man (it's free)? Problem with advertising here is that most people have ludes

Be a real shame for it to get crushed though!

dont crush... if you stripped tho id take the headlights side skirts and rear lip. but tbh someone should buy the car at a whole.. but if you do strip.. first bids on them parts

Why would you crush it? Take off that motegi kit and sell it for a bit of profit.

I dont really want to scrap the car, would much rather see someone get some use out of it. Its much too good for scrap IMO but no one has even come to look at the car. If someone wants the full motegi kit they are welcome to come and take it off the car (dunno what they go for these days, 250???), then I can either sell the car silly cheap without it or claim tax back and drive it down to the scrap bank.
