Description

Looking for a fun convertible? This 2005 Mazda MX-5 Roadster is a great choice. It's an imported two-seater with a 2.0-litre petrol engine & manual gearbox that makes driving enjoyable, especially on winding roads. This is a Limited Edition model #792 of 3500 produced Worldwide, thus has extra chrome surrounding the Windscreen, Door Handles, Driving Lights and Grille & different Road Wheels to standard.

I'm the first New Zealand owner of this Japanese import. The MX-5 is known for its nimble handling & has become something of a modern classic with a strong enthusiast following. It's compact & easy to park, which makes it practical for everyday use as well as weekend drives.

Features Include:

  • Manual 6 speed gearbox, Limited Edition model
  • Cloth Soft top that's quick to put up/down
  • Power Steering, Near new tyres

This MX-5 is in great shape & ready for its next owner to enjoy those top-down summer drives. I have always run this car on Premium 95 Fuel. Since owning, have replaced Rear shocks with new Bilstein's, Front Shocks with new KYB's. I have replaced the Rear Muffler with an Imported Exhaust, giving it a great sound and performance. In December I replaced the plastic Radiator Tank due to age, & has red bonnet struts. Comes standard with red leather heated seats which are unfortunately starting to crack. The A/C was serviced 2019 but has since stopped working due to lack of use. This has been serviced every year & replaced what ever has been needed. Has 4 new Michelin Pilot Sport 205/45ZR17 tyres and have only done 5-6000Kms. This has always been garaged since owning & comes with a Red Mazda Car Cover. Battery was replaced last year. Brakes were stripped, cleaned & reassembled with new Brake Fluid when purchased. Its an original car with original Bose Stereo, CD & Radio still work. The Gearbox Selector plate was changed, along with the Oil, making it a dream to drive & change gear around town.

If you have any questions or want to arrange a viewing, let me know. Open to reasonable offers for quick sale.
