I must have a word with this guy,
I bought an RX3 off him a few years back and allways said for him to give me 1st refusal on this one too.
The car is pretty good for the age.
I think I will have a quiet word with him to see if I can do a deal.
Regards
Carl

That would be worth $20K +++ in New Zealand.  A non-monkey\'ed RX3 10a coupe is a rare beast indeed...!

Hayden, buy it and bring it home!!!

I have not done a deal outside of Ebay while the auction was on.
Just to reassure you.
I do know that the guy wants proper money for the car and would not let it go for nowt.But that should be apparent from the ebay auction.

Now that the auction has closed I have emailed him asking how much he wants but I get no reply...something funny going on here...

If I find out hes sold it to someone else I will not be happy :spank

Hayden did you get the info you were after on importing your car from NZ I did pm you from the retro rides site?

Hi Hayden,
I don\'t think there is anything funny going with the guy,it is just that you did not bid enough for the car and reach the reserve.
I have known the guy for a long time and have even bought a car from him in the past.
He is straight.
Regards
Carl

Thanks Jase. I visit the retro rides site a bit but don\'t usually login so didn\'t get your pm till now.

I\'m trying to get an old schooler over here rather than import at the moment but thanks for offering to help. Will let you know how I get on, though as you can see not very good at the moment :guinness

Sweet, just though he might let me know how much he is after and we can talk turkey but no contact yet. I would have bid more but I haven\'t seen the car in the flesh (although it looks awesome). Cheers.

Yes agreed to buy it at the weekend. Spent 3 hours chatting about Mazdas with the previous owner! Will be sending off my mazdarotaryclub joining fee soon as. Ness and I are planning on settling here so this car will remain in the UK for the forseeable future.  

Can\'t wait for the next event! :D

Naa, will try again in a month. It would sell in 5 seconds if it had a bridge port or something that pulsed.  :rolleyes:
