15-8 Rotas, GV Lip and a worn Nardi, must be worth the extra 3K? :lol:

Each to their own, hopefully the next owner cherishes it as much as Cole did.

That seems like a lot of money for a 23 year old MX5.

That's what happens when you buy a car not build it

AMEN TO THAT!
ive seen a few nice cars that have been sold to "non Mechanical" people and the result was always bad....car has a hiccup and then its off to the auto sparky/mechanic who doesnt know the car... big bill car still not "right" pissed off owner who then hates the car, hates the previous owner and sells it off to someone else and it just gets wrecked....

I'd part mine out... No way I'd give the next owner the satisfaction of ruining the car :-P plus I know some of the car would end up in one of you guys' car. That and I'd get more in pieces...

Difference is that yours is pristine, has more power than any normal person can handle and hasnt been through multiple owners over the last year or so

Difference is the 2low2c car is proven, has run 10+ years at hi boost w/associated high wheel power w/zero issues & it has a lot of expensive kit that was installed w/love.

You can't compare a high dollar high whp proven car with something dissimilar.

Some gear works, and it's generally costly.

You get what you pay for.

I didn't know "some blemishes" was code for "most exterior panels require redoing".
