Im looking to get a mx-3 (NJ)

so im looking to get a mx-3 as a daily driver and i found this one locally for 750..i went and checked it out, interior is a lil dirty, the rear self is broken, the drivers side window doesnt work....from what i saw the switch itself is broken, but idk if thats the only thing causing it not to work. exhuast leak and well look at teh pics and you'll see the front end.(its all tight and secure, hood wont fly up or anything)

5spd trans feels good. the clutch releases a lil high, but im used to an ACT stage 2 clutch on my turbo miata so maybe ts just me. motor ran strong, heat/defrosters/pwr mirrors/sunroof/and pretty much everything else i checked was fine.

so my question is, is it worth 750 for just my daily driver?

whats up with the hood/front bumper/headlights????? Looks like an accident to me? something is very crooked...

Window is probably easy to fix, interior is easy to clean though it doesnt look too bad, car does have some miles on it...i would try to offer less, but first id see why the front looks so funky...

Mx-3's are great cars if you can do a little bit of work yourself...I learned in just a few months and its been a blast. If this is from a dealer, is there a warranty?

no warranty on it, sold as is.....it probably was in an accident it looks like the bumper support is bent, but idk about the hood....should i offer like 600?

As about the accident/do a carfax (its worth getting the 1 month subscription if you are looking to buy a car)

Car looks OK but if it seems like it has alot of problems, then it probably does, and the previous owner(s) didnt take care of it. That happened with the MX I bought but Im slowly turning it around. Id recommend an MX that had as few previous owners as possible.

Check out the for sale section. FowlJesse has one for sale in NY for $1,000 OBO. There's a dent on the rear fender, but it looks like it's in much better shape than the one you're looking at. Also, the amount of $$ you'll put into fixing that crunched front end will be more than you'll spend on FJ's car.

Check it out!

If you're looking looking into putting some time and effort into the car id go for it.
i bought mine with a broken tranny and a pretty beat up body for 900, was still worth it.

Id offer 500 (i like a bargain) and work my way up there.
Im sure if you put $500 cash in his hand, he'd hand you the keys...

otherwise, goodluck with whatever you decide to do

no way...is that 12,900 american or 12,900 danish krone?(DKr)?

cause 129,00 Dkr = 2,595 USD....still expensive for that car in that condition but not nearly as bad as I originally thought lol
