tbh when i was looking at a new car after the corrado finally died, i looked at mk1s to 4's, as they were all in my price range, i could have gone for a smart looking 2 but i wanted a 3 because of all the insults etc , was a little challenge.
i like the look, to me its a little bit modern on one angle with the classic squarish shape at another...
hopefully once ive drip fed my very small amount of spare cash into it i will have a smart mk3!
(even though my engine is starting to give, lol)
when i bought mine he was asking 1400 for it, i managed to knock him down to 900 (and im a bad haggler lol)
they do seem to go for absolute pittance, its crazy!
they do have a bad rep because i think they get used as donkey cars, long hard commutes etc... and owners dont seem to care what they are, whereas people with older mks seem to treasure them a little more!!
i seem to see more mk2 with people who let on to ya, presumably enthusiasts, than mk3s, most are just people who have a car as an a to b thing, which i think is a shame.
sorry for the essay, lol
although all these cheap ones going are tempting me to get on for donor parts, which i may do for an engine very soon
ps - not surprised kells, cos your is one of the best looking 3's going! - add me to the list
