Just to see what all the fuss is about I've put a deposit on a Grey Euphonic edition.
1 owner, 59k miles, FSH. haven't even seen it but go to pick up tomorrow.
If its as much fun as a mk3 MR2 I will be happy, with boot space too.
Already looking at some roll over hoops.
Do they just fit straight on this model?

Guys here is the car:
http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/191279555563?nav=SEARCH

Avoid.
Described to me as mint, and no rust when actually the rear arches are both bubbling, He repaired the Sills poorly, I think its scrapped the rust and sprayed over. There's still a masking tape line along the will.
Interior is dusty, smells of paint shop.
I arrived late to find him washing it! Trying to hide the rust bubbles?
Door trim cracked and hanging off.
Roof has a patch on a hole, and is mouldy.
lots of wear and tear, certainly not as described.
To top it off he agreed to refund, but didn't.
He stalled and messed me about ignoring emails.
So I contacted my bank about the lying fat dheads, and they refunded me.
Shame, because it looks superb in the photos.

Sorry to hear that, given the prevalence of rust on these cars I would be wary of buying from most dealers, given that nearly all lie about it. Try and find one from an owners club if you can, good luck!

I think that's good advice actually.
Thought I could trust this dealer but he blatantly lied and tried every trick in the book to hide the defects, and to keep my deposit.
Gives traders a bad name.
