Car auctions aka what car would i look like a fass in

Just went to my first trade car auction. Was sick. So many decent cars for fuck all money. Was originally thinking a Mazda RX8 or newer MX5, but now seen SLK230 going for 2.2k! Might go again again on Thursday and put some money down!

Anyone else going to these? Picked up any deals?

SLK ok then skeng man.

I bought my first car from an auction.
1990 Toyota Conquest with a 4spd gearbox.

Got it for such a deal.

SLK, MX5 = hairdressers cars for sure. but fuck it, hood back doing 80 down some country roads. I'm about that. Plus it's gotta be small enough for my girl to feel comfortable driving.

Are you currently going through a mid-life crisis?

Nah, just kidding.
Enjoy dude.

get the merc but it would make me very happy to know you drive a mx5 at the same time

MX5 is more likely still to be honest.

Unless you want to pay mad money, there just aren't enough decent 2 seater convertibles out there...
4.5k budget really.
Z4 is a possible, but usually too expensive
Z3 might actually turn me gay.
MK3 MX5 would be ideal, but they're usually 5k plus.
Audi A3 - 6k+
Saab 93 - too big.
BMW 318 - possible if we found the right one.
Alfa Romeo - if they weren't all falling apart at this price, maybe.
Toyota MR2 - possible i guess, dont really like it myself.
cheapest porsche boxster is still 6k
Fuck the peugeot, ford, renault, vauxhall offerings.

only going to have it year then leaving the country.
suggestions on a postcard.

93 anyway or the 318.

Wouldn't you be better off buying like an Ibiza or Golf at a dealer for that price though?

beamer maybe, no on the saab.

Boring, aint looking for an everyday car. 4k is more than enough to get a decent convertible.

Any car in white is strictly prohibited except in desert climates though.

The 93 will actually get you mad label deals to be fair.

Oh you'll only have it 1 year. Yea otherwise I would go great boring car over decent nice one.

Don't let these wastemen put you off... the SLK is a great car.

MX-5 is arguably the most fun you'll have for your money in that list though - I'd be tempted with an older one since spares are so cheap.

BMW 3 series verts are wonderful... had a few as hire cars, but I couldn't bring myself to buy one of the smaller engine'd models. I got done from the lights by a (new) Beetle in one once.

Yeah I fully accept my street racing career is over though ever since i wrote off my Celica.

It's still between the SLK and MX5 for me tbh.

ezza · Post by **ezza** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 3:37 pm

dont u think buying old sports cars is kinda a bit shit tho lol

like the idea of a merc or beema is to have the new one

people rollin in bare old ones looked like broke wannabes

Bah, kids! The idea is to have as much fun as possible.

Actually, I'm amazed with how cheap some of the latest shapes are... you can get a new shape SLK for £8k on Autotrader. Custom plate and the gally will be none the wiser!

LOL. I beg you, go and buy a brand new A3 when the next SLC cheque rolls through.

Magma - I miss it everyday. I had the 6th gen 2L GT. Fuck all this vvt shit right off! What were you rocking?

If it weren't for leaving the country in a year, I'd put down 10k easy on a new model merc or beamer.
