Hi sifus Currently looking at used MX-5 auto (yeah..i know lol), with budget around 150K. I see a lot of the ones being sold on Carlist etc is recond from Japan. Mind sharing your experience with buying used? E.g. trusted dealers, signs to look out for (avoid flooded car etc).. Thanks! Quazacolt liked this post

QUOTE(bismaximus @ Sep 16 2025, 01:03 PM) Ayam just booked mine last week. https://www.mudah.my/bqr-cars Nice! Which model did you get and how much was it if you dont mind sharing?Bryan very knowledgeable on MX-5, he has one too. I think for 150k you should be able to get a low mileage 2021/2022 recon unit.  I see most of his ads is for Manual version, thanks for the link though! |

QUOTE(littlefire @ Sep 17 2025, 09:22 AM) If used/recon MX-5 look for accident repairs, my mechanic just help one owner which bought a very cheap MX-5 via tender & found out it hit accident before and fixed (If fix own cannot find insurance record). A lot of MX-5 in market if very attractive price becarefull for accident, better get an experience mechanic which can help jack up the car, open bumper and side panel to inspect for any repair works. Oh dang, thanks for the tips. This is what I am scared of when buying used  as I don't know any good mechanic around..And here I thought buying those imported from JP would be safe as they would less likely to do these hidden stuffs Quazacolt liked this post
