I have the feeling the 924 is a better purchase than a miata
>>
>>14243885
Have you driven both?
Very different feelings.

No, explain.

>>14243885
Given the fact that early 986 boxster prices are comparable to 924 prices in the UK, I'd be more inclined to buy a 986 boxster OP.
>>
>>14243885/
Lol have you ever repaired a 924? The parts and labor will cost as much as an entire Miata
>>
>>14243921
??? 924s goes for like $3500 US, how much do 986 boxsters go for?

I don't know about the US, but in the UK a 924 that is in good shape fetches about 2.5k-3k the same as a base 1996/7 high milage boxster.

Damn

>>14243987
Based on today's conversion rates...That's a lot more than I would pay for a 986.
>>
>>14243938
Parts are the same. DIY maintenance is easier than a Miata.

No and no

Welcome to the uk

this

E30s are the most over rated shit
>>
>>14244047
I've got a Porsche 997 and I pay £920 a year insurance. I'm 26 with no claims and my postcode is considered high-risk by the insurance company. Further to which I dont have a garage so this is why my insurance is as high as £920 a year.
Road tax on the 2.5 engine would be quite cheap.
>>
i have a 1998 boxster. the insurance is cheap the tax is cheap and once you do the ims strengthening the same time you do the clutch its all good. its a surprisingly cheap car to run
>>
MX5 has a much larger parts support and scrap pool to draw from, that's why they make so much sense.

Do you guys live in wonderland or what. Italy and germany apparently have no 986 under €9000 and theyre probably scams
>>
>>14243999
Lol ok dude
>>
>>14244131
Die in a fire.
>>
>>14244144
so catch a cheap flight to the uk
>>
>>14244416
Sure m8, Ill just give away hundreds of euros just to find out if some bloke on autoscout or whatever you use there is trying to sell me a cheap sports car or a piece of rust.
>>
>>14244461
so go with option 2 and shut the fuck up
>>
>>14243885
924
>slower than a Miata
>everything for it more expensive than a Miata because Porsche (even though it's really a VW)

MR2 is the only real option or an MGF assuming you can get those in murrica
>>
>>14244481
Actually you know what, it would be nice to spend some time looking at the best I can find in a country and then touring it to try the various stuff. Too bad it's england.

924's were galvanized to protect from rust, faggot.

Please don't. It's the only other Porsche that ranks below the 944.
>>
>>14243885
do it, come back and tell us how it goes

>>14243885
Top kek.

>>14248018
916 brah
>>
>>14245176
>civic
>>
>>14248162
916 is really just a 914. However, they pretty rare (I think there are only 10 official 916 cars) and they're all considered prototypes instead of regular production cars.

And yes, the 914 was the other car I was alluding to in the post you quoted.

>buying a Miata over any Porsche ever.

Literally the only difficult things about the 924/944 are the clutch and the wheel hubs.

So many people have no imagination, no money, and no ability to turn a wrench.

I-Is that a Daytona?

>people recommending a 986
Am I on bizzaro /o/?
>>
So what is a good Miata alternative? I have a '96 NA but I don't like the softtop and a minimal back seat would be cool. If I had $20K to blow I'd go for a BRZ but poorfag gonna poorfag.
>>
>>14243946
You wont be able to find a e30 for the same price of a miata in the same condition. Also parts are more expensive for a e30

That's under $20k US

Use the spare money to retrofit a direct oil feed to the *MS to make it reliable

Mitsubishi Starion
Chrysler Conquest
Dodge Conquest
Plymouth Conquest

It's the same car. The were between 150-200 hp.
>>
>>14251108
Yeah, only noticed that it wasn't a Daytona after posting.
Still, the 2nd gen Daytona looked mighty similar to the Conquest
