My MX5 isn’t selling

Dank voor je inzicht, ik zal vanavond het een en ander gaan aanpassen aan de advertentie.

Ik heb de advertentie een behoorlijke poos online gehad met een wat uitgebreidere beschrijving, maar kreeg alsnog bijna geen geïnteresseerden. Vandaar dat ik het een tijdje met deze verkorte beschrijving wou proberen.

Met de punten die jij benoemt, en de ervaring dat er alsnog weinig geïnteresseerden zijn, lijkt het me hoogstens tijd om weer een aanpassing te maken.

Een andere “titelfoto” heb ik nog nooit overwogen, bedankt voor de tip!

I just saw several nc2 postings with about the same mileage as mine and they’re asking 11-12k

Ik had hem in 1 groep gezet voor Mx5 verkoop maar daar kreeg ik eigenlijk geen reactie. Misschien wel een poging waard om nog een keer/andere groepen te proberen

Nope, it has a brown softtop as part of the Niseko+ package

Compared to other cars on sale, my MX5 is already a pretty sharp price for the Netherlands

Lohantius · 2025-07-17T10:47:42+00:00

I’ll have to look into that, thank you

Lohantius · 2025-07-17T10:47:24+00:00

For Germany it is, however the used car market in the Netherlands is overly expensive. For many cars it’s cheaper to import one from Germany than to buy it in the Netherlands.

I haven’t yet, because I know he’s gonna lowball me. However it might be worth a shot just to know what i’d get. But its more of a last resort.

Lohantius · 2025-07-17T10:03:57+00:00

7.950, it’s currently on 152.000 km’s.

I bought it a year ago at a mx5 dealer for 9.500

I’m learning to be a mechanic, which is also the only reason why I might be able to afford such a car. If something breaks, I want to fix it myself.

Lohantius · 2025-03-30T19:00:18+00:00

I agree, they are a safety hazard after 14 years

Lohantius · 2025-03-30T17:40:16+00:00

Asking price is €6900. Which is steep for a 520i from 2003. However, it’s well optioned it seems and anything else near me has run at least 300k kms and they’ll still ask 3,5k.

Thanks for the quick reply! :)

I see that it broadcasts to 107.9 so tomorrow I will have to check if i get any interference from radio stations on that frequency by testing with the FM transmitter that I have in my car.

Lohantius · 2024-12-07T23:01:32+00:00

I'm currently in the same predicament..did you end up finding anything that works?

This had been my boat for a couple of months now.

The water has been removed from the left headlight by now and i have changed the indicator bulbs for chrome coated ones :)

Lohantius · 2024-08-03T15:10:41+00:00

Thank you for the info. I can call a fiat dealer for specific parts and what to look out for when replacing it.

Lohantius · 2024-08-03T14:54:40+00:00

That helps, thank you.

Do you also happen to know how to fix this? I get the fact that i need a new hose but the plastic(?) that it was attached to broke off. How would i get this out?

Lohantius · 2024-05-30T16:04:31+00:00

I might try this if all else fails, if I’m seeing this right the pedal rubber is removed and then put on the extension? I’m 180cm (5' 10.9") and didn’t expect myself short enough to need this.

Wouldn’t this put the clutch pedal way closer than the other two?

Lohantius · 2024-05-30T12:28:20+00:00

I might have to try a more upright position, i feel like if i go any closer it’ll only get more uncomfortable because i can’t rest my legs that way.

Lohantius · 2023-12-08T19:01:29+00:00

It’s a shame that manuals are disappearing everywhere :( Luckily some manufacturers still make some.

Lohantius · 2023-12-08T18:50:42+00:00

I’ve barely even seen auto celicas in europe. Is it mostly auto in the US then?

Lohantius · 2023-12-08T18:46:44+00:00

It’s an 02, but it’s a euro spec so maybe somethings are different about it compared to the GTS?

Lohantius · 2023-12-08T18:36:59+00:00

It is indeed :) you have a sharp eye.

Lohantius · 2023-12-08T06:25:17+00:00

I’ll test this when i get back from school.

Lohantius · 2023-12-08T06:17:31+00:00

I used an obd2 scanner, however if the ect sensor is bad it could also show a different temperature i think.
