I've been looking for something fun to drive on the weekend that's fairly cheap. Was originally gonna be looking for a Miata, but they're all way north of a price I wanna pay. Not really a fan of convertibles anyway.
How's this for a cheap car? Isn't it basically an MX-6? There's a 93 Probe GT near me for 1650 with 88k on it with a 5 speed. I live in the northeast and it's stunning this thing has absolutely NOT rust on it that I can find.
pr/o/betalk here, i'll give you the skinny.
93 Probe GT
Bad:
>The dashboards always crack on them
>Good luck finding parts in a boneyard they are getting hard to find
>KL V6 makes a great noise but will drop valves with repeated fuel-cut abuse
>5-speed Mazda G25M-R transmission is made of glass
>window bushings will wear out in the tracks and not seal properly after a while
>it's totaled if you get it in a fender bender
Good
>V6 is non-interference and has gobs of bottom end torque and does well in mid and top end
>aftermarket isn't comeplete shit
>V6 sounds like a grand prix car on open headers, a Borla or Greddy
>handles like its on rails and the 93 has the best suspension for that, but you will require spine surgery if you hit a cockroach
>timeless styling
>can cross-pollinate with several different cars
>KLZE swap gives you 200hp and a better top end
I've had 2 2nd gens they are nice cars. The 4cyl is a good daily too and they are good on fuel. The V6 drinks a bit but it's fun to drive
