Sal and I have been on the lookout for a MK3 for
£3k or less and have found one we quite like.The car is a 2000 roadster in silver with red leather with a subtle bodykit
(looks OEM). Hood is in good condition, bodywork is clean barring the odd scuff or scrape here or there and it drives really nicely. Car has four good Toyo tyres, brakes feel fresh and tyres have plenty of tread on them.
The car has only covered 48k.
It was MOT'd in April (which it passed with no advisories) and has a full service history having been serviced seemingly every year since it was born, with early services done by Toyota and later ones by local garages.Car has only done 2,000 miles since its last service twelve months ago.
I managed to get the trader to agree to have the car serviced as part of the deal. Bad points:
- Headlights have gone a bit green (easy fix though with a bit of elbow grease!)- Drivers seat bolster has a tear in it about 3 inches long- A few scratches on the bonnet but nothing too bad- Some of the wheels are flaking (but plan to change these anyway)The guy will accept just under
£3,000.Sounds like a good deal to me, trader seems like a decent honest bloke and car seems good mechanically with no knocking, fresh tyres and decent brakes.
What do you guys and girls think? All input welcome!
