Sadly we've decided to sell our beloved MX5

[Nova.]

rx8's were the worst of the Rotary's in my opinion, with the exception of Madmikes rx8, although he too does not really think much of it...

Fair enough but good luck finding a RX7 that hasn't been raped by some 'bro' and 'just needs a cert', and I definitely wouldn't pay $7000 for a coupe with 20 year old tech.

I paid just over $6000 for a coupe with 45+ year old technology. (and older...).

Needless to say the only '7' in its designation was '37.

Lots of that - and profit too when I sell it!

Incredible.

Personally I'd pony up an extra 4k and buy a fully featured leather-bound RX8.

If you're doing that, you may as well get an S2000, because they're actually good.

If you're doing that's rouble is they are , you may as well get an S2000, because they're actually good.

Trouble is they are $20k+!

I'd rather pony up some more and get a turbocharged Audi or similar.

Japanese stuff feels like cheap trash once you've been in one.

Which is cheaper to fix/repair?

Try work on one Superb to drive, but now we're going there, give me an E36 M3

There was a blue one for $10k listed a few weeks back too.

You're not serious!!! Surely this is a troll! Perhaps you could buy your Audi and some cheap reliable jap trash to tow it to the garage with!!

Now you are talking!-just make sure your pockets are deeeeeeeep to keep it running as it should.

Not any more mate. I know a chap who picked a decent one up, urgent sale thing, for $14k.
They go well, and don't feel cheap like most other Jap toys.

In my experience VW audi and mercedes parts are cheaper than toyota and honda parts, and about on par with Nissan bits.

Speaking of eurojunk, what did you think of the peugeot convertible....
