Got lucky with plates AGAIN!
Those that know me know that I praise the MX-5 a LOT. I often miss my old NA8C Clubman which I sold back in 2006 and have always planned to be back in one at some point in time (THE car that taught me how to drive!).
I’ve been hunting down both 911’s and an NA8C furiously (on carsales daily) for the past year. I’ve low balled a lot of NA owners lately and have come close to buying a few (in most cases I was only $500-1000 off asking price).
2 nights ago I low balled a guy pretty hard. I almost got him, but he said he’d like to sleep on my offer. That night, in excitement, I got on myplates and punched in “NA8C” (the chassis code). Amazingly it was available so I took it.
Later this morning I’ll close the deal on an NA8C which I tried to buy last year (but my offer was too low). Looking forward to driving the new car to work later today!
