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!
