Bluejmc2005 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hi all, Always liked the look of these wonderfully understated cars and off to see one in few days. 140k, auto but reconditioned box a year ago, good overall condition, 7 months MOT, good bodywork (with exception of lacquer peeling on bonnet..) nice dark green colour and supposedly drives well. Hear side suspension noise is slightly noticeable says seller, but I'd really appreciate any general tips on what to look for before I venture to viewing. Great site btw! Cheers, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted December 29, 2014 Administrators Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Welcome to the club Jason, although I like the darker colours in the coupes they are known to suffer the lacquer peeling but a good body shop could sort it restively cheaply unless it’s in a difficult area to prep. Also the suspension knocking is likely antiroll bar link or a ball joint, if it’s a ball joint could be costly in labour so get some gloves on a pull the wheel from the top to bottom any movement is likely the upper arm joint or lower ball joint . Also do you have a link for the car so we can have a nosey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founding Member Mazda Man Posted December 30, 2014 Founding Member Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hi Jason, that looks like a nice example. I had a 2.0ES Coupe a while ago and loved it, the V6's are getting rarer and rarer too. They're made in USA too in case you didn't know. Stu is the Coupe Guru, there isn't anything he doesn't know. There are obviously other V6 owners on this site so ask away, I'm sure will receive answers. Welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founding Member Cryistic Posted January 5, 2015 Founding Member Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Welcome to the forum Jason. Looks a bit of a bargain to be honest, Gearbox issues are the only thing that kills the coupes and getting one that is sorted makes living with them a lot easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluejmc2005 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks guys! Yes I did well, I am wondering of wrapping the bonnet might be a cheap way to cover the lawyer peeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member Cryistic Posted January 5, 2015 Founding Member Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks guys! Yes I did well, I am wondering of wrapping the bonnet might be a cheap way to cover the lawyer peeling? I'd get a quote from a local body shop, might only be a couple of hundred to give it a blow over, less if you prep it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
