I wouldn't say that is a bad price, but I don't consider it much of a bargain!
Have a look at those for sale on ROC too.

Not worth £6K (more like £5K), and as it's a manual it definitely doesn't have traction control. There's better cars out there.
Re: Worth the money?
The latest that car was manufactured was Aug 2002. Not 2004
Value about £4200

Yeh, I'd say even £5 is pushing it.
For a completely stock 04 import with that sort of milage (no fancy alloys, sideskirts, etc...) I wouldn't pay more than £4k and a bit. And you can't really expect to get the money back spent on mods when selling a car, so still wouldn't pay mych more than that.
The one in the advert seems to be a pre-facelift model with a few bits (front bumper and side vents) stuck on, which is odd because they introduced the facelift in 2003!
Pre-2003 max price £3600ish.
If you're thinking of getting a mk3 definitely got over to MR2ROC.org and have a readup on the common things to look out for, blue smoke in particular is the one warning sign to watch for!
