Hi, CNCJ here,
My life is divided between Korea and Oxford - 2 months in one, and 2 months in t'other. Am currently in Seoul, and will be returning to the UK in about 5 weeks. At which time I plan to purchase my first MX5. I have one question for the aficianados that has been thrown up by what research I have been able to accomplish thus far. I'm aiming for a 2002-ish 1.8 MX5 and I have a budget of up to 4 grand. There seems to be a relatively huge difference in average price between those advertised on MX5nutz and pistonheads websites and those appearing on eBay - with eBay asking prices being much the higher. I'm happy to pay a fair price for a good clean model, but don't want to be ripped-off. Can anyone tell me why there is this discrepancy in price? Many thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
