Buying An Mr2

[Pauljb1]

Hi guys am in the market for buying a newish MR2 mark 3! I have looked at a few and there are two in the front running at the minute, each with there faults, just wondering iff you can help and point out a few things to me.

First car is a 2001 32K, leather seats and soft top - its fault is the left door has been sprayed not very well and there is two we small dents at the top of the door. How much would it cost roughly to get the door resprayed. THis car is £7K

Second car is a 2001 55K with AC and soft top - its problem seems to be that its ride is really bumpy compared to the other cars we tested. More at the front as if the shocks are worn out - i dont know is this common and who much would it roughly cost to fix. Or maybe you think its something else - the car just seems to bounce over the bumps. THis car is £6700

What do you think?

Any tips on what to look out for and what car would you go for?

below is the link two the search results of were the ad for the cars are.

You can find the blue one with 32k bout half way down its got 9 photos

the black one is near the top with 4 photos

What do you think the problem is with the black one, its ride is far harder than all the ones i have tested and it hits bumps hard and bounces at the front - does this sound like damper problems or any other ideas

Cheers guys
