Hi there. my GF currently has a 2.5td CD which has been unused/unloved since her purchase of an MX5 in April last year. The car has since run out of Mot and tax.  150ish thousand miles.
She used it daily to commute  35 miles each way.  It was used up unitl the purchase of her new car but did have a couple of issues.
Hot start was often a problem
Overheated in hot weather only (twice)- silted up rad?
Brake warning sensor on dash - no sensor wires in new pads fitted?
Coolent level warning on dash - checked and is topped up to correct level - could this be related to rad or maybe the sensor itself?

Car has leather interior w/ heated front seats and is tidy for the age on the outside. Couple of marks on the outside.
My question is essentially what is it worth? is it worth anything to anyone on here? worth repairing or selling for someone to break it for parts?
any advice would be really appreciated.
thanks, Jonny.

Hi Jonny,

Is it an auto or manual?

Cheers Pete

If it had an MOT, or was a lot closer, I'd be PM'ing you now.

Its an automatic.

Oh and Deviator what would you be PMing me?
just interested in what its worth.
thanks.

Thats a shame, auto boxes are a weak point.

Ok you want a price......hmm.....It won't be worth a great deal without MOT and that overheating problem could have done some damage to the engine, who knows? Might be worth more as broken for spares......£250/£300.
