    Default Hi from Austin - Looking for a 2006 Smurf Blue

    Hi Everbody! (Dr. Nick from Simpsons voice).

    I am surviving down here in Austin and am thinking about getting a new car.

    I really like the 2006 Smurf Blue, has anyone seen one for sale in the DFW area for a reasonable price?

    Thanks

    I miss you guys too!

    My sister wanted the smart car, so I sold it to her. With all of the discounting going on with the NC's right now, I started looking and decided that I really wanted a Winning Blue one which was only made in 2006.

    I am in the process of buying a house, so I will soon have a garage again. I cant wait! I hear that the Cosworth makes these cars like 240rwhp to the ground.... that would be fun...

    You can now get the smart off the showroom floor without a markup. I orphaned mine last month and there were 5 other orphans there at the same time.

    Good luck on finding your Winning Blue MX-5 Chris.

    Chris

    The house is in Sunset Valley ( Ben White @ Brodie).

    I wont be tracking next weekend too much stuff going on here to get out of town....

    I was the high bidder on the car in houston when it was on ebay, but reserve was 13.900, the car in SA looks a little too expensive. 16K, I was thinking more like 12500-13ish... maybe I am just too cheap.

    That's a pretty good area and not too far away from where I live (Slaughter and 35). Let me know if you need any help.

    Just an update guys. I found a winning blue in Orlando Florida for 12.2K, flew out last Friday and drove home via NOLA last weekend. It is a sport (17" wheels and 6 speed), it has the limited slip as well which was a nice bonus. The car drove home great and I am glad to have it. Nothing like getting what you want! Pics later.....
