What convertible?
Discussion
Hi,
Need to replace my wife's 2005 MX-5. Had a little incident at Nurburgring and wrecked it. Need to get her a replacement ideally this week.
Initial thoughts were the MX-5 roadster with hard top folding roof.
She also likes the look of a Jag XK.
Criteria
Under 10K
Under 40,000 miles
Electric hard top roof
Reliable and good build quality
Newer MX-5 ticks all the boxes just wondering is there anything else I need to consider.
Thanks.

Congrats on a very rapid purchase decision. Did you post the topic before or after you'd bought the car?

I'd forgive the 61k

Thanks for all advice. Viewed 2 dealer and 1 private, Tuesday around Yorkshire.
Went to Morpeth Wed morning, viewed, purchased and taken same day.
Had arranged car hire at £300 (now cancelled) so she had transport until we found something so that encouraged me to find something quick.
Well, gave it a good clean this morning. Covered with ingrained dirt, dog hair, smell of, I guess, dog sick.
For mileage, i think its quite tired but it only needs a bit of love and attention to bring it up to spec.
1st mot - 6700 miles
2nd mot - 8815 miles
3rd mot - 11114
All main dealer servicing
2007 - 2 miles
2009 - 3406 miles
2010 - 5537 miles
2011 - 8316 miles
Off for a service tomorrow and parking sensors next week.
Looking a bit better
I'm back in the good books!
