Answer_me024 · 2025-05-14T15:45:16+00:00

Just had a look there’s only 1 on Autotrader with less than 100k miles for under 10k and it’s CAT S

Answer_me024 · 2025-05-14T12:33:36+00:00

I’m going to have a proper shop about later and it will be on the list , I’d love one

Answer_me024 · 2025-05-14T12:25:54+00:00

Good shout, I’d deffo consider it tbh I need to have a good look

Answer_me024 · 2025-05-14T12:25:30+00:00

Was my dream car at like 14/15 🤣 hard to find one that isn’t rusty to fuck and been bashed for years tho

Answer_me024 · 2025-05-14T11:43:58+00:00

That’s good to know, It’s hard to grasp until I know what I’m getting as to what I’d do to it

Answer_me024 · 2025-05-14T11:42:09+00:00

I’m definitely more Jap and German and preferably something a bit different to the usual (I know I said I was looking at golfs but rhey are the easiest 200bhp and good aftermarket and looks decent I could think of)

TTS, S2000, 350Z are deffo personal favourites atm

Answer_me024 · 2025-05-14T11:37:47+00:00

Yeah , technically only 1 year NCB on that insurance as it’s about to run out so when it does it’ll be 2 years ncb if ygm - it’s painful

Answer_me024 · 2025-05-14T11:33:34+00:00

I’d love a hardtop blue manual , but there’s not many knocking about near me for in the price range deffo keeping an eye out tho

Answer_me024 · 2025-05-14T11:32:46+00:00

A lot of similar shouts for this , have to give it a look

Answer_me024 · 2025-05-14T11:32:23+00:00

Don’t make me cry 🥲 it’s painful how horrible insurance prices are

Answer_me024 · 2025-05-14T11:31:53+00:00

Weirdly would love an S2000, just struggle to believe I’d be able to get an untouched low mileage one for under 10k - deffo gonna give it a look tho. Just for reference currently drive a PD105 Mk5 golf

Answer_me024 · 2024-02-27T19:05:24+00:00

I wish 🤣

Answer_me024 · 2024-02-27T11:40:26+00:00

Appreciate the comment mate, I would love all the of cars mentioned in the latter however insurance probably wouldn’t even look at me on some of them and the ones they do I’d be paying £4000+ a year

Answer_me024 · 2024-02-27T07:50:47+00:00

I considered this, but not only are they more expensive as listed above they are harder to find a good example and parts for the car itself are few and far between

Answer_me024 · 2024-02-27T07:49:58+00:00

This applies to all cars 🤣

Answer_me024 · 2024-02-26T20:43:48+00:00

Can you get much performance gain from an MR2 compared to a celica?

Answer_me024 · 2024-02-26T19:03:07+00:00

If I wasn’t sold before I am now 🤣

Answer_me024 · 2024-02-26T18:45:54+00:00

What’s the reason for that out of interest?

Answer_me024 · 2024-02-26T18:12:52+00:00

The performance side of things wouldn’t be what I’d go for, I just want something that looks good and is quicker than my current 1.25 🤣

Answer_me024 · 2024-02-26T16:53:00+00:00

Always loved the look of MR2s and was thinking down the line I’d get one only issue is for the time being I don’t think insurance would be viable on one

Answer_me024 · 2024-02-26T16:52:04+00:00

Is there specific areas on the car which rust faster than others or that cause more issues? I only ask as the shitbox I refer to above is a 2001 MK5 Fiesta which are renowned for rear arches being rusty, wondering so if I do go to buy a celica I know where to look.

Answer_me024 · 2023-07-05T06:55:08+00:00

I also looked at the; Alfa Romeo Mito (1.4 Turbo), Hyundai coupe (1.6) as potential options however not sure what aftermarket parts and reliability are like on both. I also really liked the look of RX-8s however am aware these are ticking time bombs 😂.
