Yep, base model manual, 1.6 will be 36999, you would get it at 35 with a bit of haggle no problem

Fourth gen MX-5

sweetest looking little roadster l have seen in a while. Very clean.

Best thing about MX5’s is they start in at 35k, that’s just cheap enough to pick up as the second car

Makes it even sweeter.

How’s about the Toyota 86 or Subaru BRZ. Probably more bang for your buck

some people like convertibles i guess plus that has a boy racer feel to it, good if you’re young not so much if you’re old.

New focus rs, with 4wd and potentially 350hp want.

How do I justify to the wife potentially spending $60k plus on a Ford Focus that probably wont be as practical as a $20,000 Ford Focus?

GO FAST

That’s Mini JCW territory for the price.

Hell of a lot of blokes in their 50s / 60s get the sports cars. Midlife crisis diagnosis, right there.

Hmm at first I wanted less old people with 86s, but then the more people that buy them new (old people with money) the more likely they’ll be cheaper in a few years when I look to change cars. haha

This is a welcome development, IMO. No way would I import a new European car and be left without warranty support, but a new JDM vehicle I would feel comfortable with. Heaps of stuff available overseas which we don’t get access to in Aus. In particular, the availability of manual transmissions for those of us left who like to change their own gears.

has anyone ever gone interstate to checkout a car then buy it? experience? good bad etc?

I bought my last car in NSW, lived in Victoria. Wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Great car, easy deal.

Just got my new car today…Mazda CX-5 Maxx Sport 2.5l petrol with Safety Pack, parking sensors and towbar.

Seems more sensible to have something with cargo space out in the mulga.

Always pictured you for a smart car noons

I want to buy a bmw next year. Spending up to $30k. Can this be done?

Do your research first about owning any recent BMW outside of warranty period (which is probably $30,000 territory). Horrendous electrical issues. You would probably be better off buying an older one (ie. prior to electronic everything with sensors galore) and have a trusted BMW specialist independent mechanic (ie. definitely NOT a dealer, unless bankruptcy appeals to you) fix any issues.

This is a quote from an acquaintance with a new M335i: “…of the 11 months I’ve had the car I’ve only had it fault-free for about 3 weeks (i.e. not throwing regular check errors or loud buzzings from the loose aircon etc) and I’m a bit over it as my first BMW ownership experience…”

m3 mmmmmmm

Pulled in next to me at the servo. Unfortunately wasn’t interested in a swap for my mitsubishi …
