The right one mentioned above was referring to one that already has a six speed. Six speeds last longer at higher torque loads than five speeds. But you can always buy a six speed transmission later and exchange it.

Well thanks for all the advice guys!
Definitely the most friendly forum I've seen so far!
The lady I was purchasing the car from is having second thoughts due to some friends telling here she was crazy selling the car at that price...she is rethinking it and will let me know later this evening.
I'm in contact with another seller (same model, 10AE) just in case

Haha
Well as it stands atm I am talking to a guy with a slitly modified/"tuned" 10th AE
"It is a Exedy Stage 1 street Performance clutch ... Flywheel is a fidanza ... Flywheel + clutch waights 6.5kg ... I have the original coilovers its from Bilstein but in the Car is adjustable coilovers from Vmaxx hiltrac, magnaflow muffler ... And Last i have a original Brake kit with only 20000km"
I bet is's been driven hard and it's also lowered + front lip and side skirts(10cm high at the front and 8cm at the sides)
I want to buy it but I really don't know if I'd get onboard the ferry to Norway :P It's not a huge problem if the lip and skirts get damaged but would be rather embarrassing.

Yes, it's "Håvard"
Well I've got some good/bad news;
My girlfriend's grandparents are moving to an apartment and we're taking over the house/buying it. Gonna happen this summer(thought it was next year but due to health issues it's happening sooner...got the message this weekend. The house is old(needs a lot of work) so the purchase of the mx-5 is going to be put on hold for a year :(
But thanks for great advice so far, sorry I wasting of your time.

10AE is excellent choice for a race car. I race my turbo 10AE in a Finnish TimeAttack series. Check my build thread and youtube channel
