No MX5 or S2000, but only few crappy Z4. :thumbsdown:

We went to Lai Chi Kok afterwards, there are few MRS but they are ugly modded so dont think KC will like it.
But still no S2000, and MX5 sadly...

My friend probably would go for either Z4 or MX5, since Z4 has wider choices and MX5 is pretty much trouble free.
S2000 will be the least choice unless he found one which has been well lookaftered and unmodded.

S2000 is imposable to find a good 1 unless the newer 1s with smaller power and less rev.
go for the Z4

so maybe you always fixed cars with him that why he give you better discount.
this is normel in HK, it dose not matter how well you know the guy, if you dont give him work to do then he will not give a better discount.
I think the word u should use is acquainted.

We saw a tidy unmodded one in Lai Chi Kok, the price is around 150K.
With red leather and in dark grey colour.
We can go and see together if you are interested
