Hello, as the thread title says, I'm off to have a look at this - http://www.premierindoorcarsales.co.uk/used-cars/m... - (if they're open tomorrow) and I would appreciate any tips on specific things to look out for.

Talk about an open ended question!!

I think there's a buyers guide on MX5Nutz somewhere...

Three things: rust, rust and rust!

Bottoms of cills - particularly in front of the rear wheels

Check the sills for rust. Buget a couple of quid if it'll need them replaced in the next year or so. Check the roof doesn't leak. Enjoy.

Cheers guys. I've checked out the buyers guide on here. Doesn't seem like a lot to worry about other than the usual.

Lets hope it's a good 'un.

Where abouts in the UK are you and how much are you wanting for it?

Have a search through the classifieds. There are rules about advertising in forums, but you should be able to track it down from the info above.
