Well we've had the "If you had 20K lying around" thread - now for the recession version.

So what sports car would you buy for 2K cash? Link to Ads if possible.

For me, it would have to be a Mazda RX-7 FB from the early 80s, they don't come up for sale much in this country, example ad.

no ftos

i will have to think about this.

OK, after a quick think and look, I came up with 2 options. The first is a bmw 316/318 00(ish), because I love those cars. STylish and practical. http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3343569

EDIT: I posted the same link twice.

The second would be purely work work/advertising purposes. http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3388055

If that's what qualifies as a sports car in your eyes you must really have been delighted with the GPX?

hehe. Well...what was I gonna pick? A celica? :nwor

Actually, I would love to have one of those 50cc small cars that are so popular in europe. I had a quick go in one when I was in Spain and it was great craic. The moped engine noise was a little annoying, but it was a cool little thing and had reverse gear too

What sucks is that over here, it would be more difficult to insure than an fto. They are classed as mopeds on the mainland and can be driven on a moped licence too of course.

I wouldn't rule one out actually, particularly a GT-Four:

I like V70's but that yoke is a sh1tbucket. Amazing what happens when cr4p like this goes viral.

If I had 2k lying about, it would mean the Mrs had slipped up, and not discovered it..!!

Poor dear, she's going through the change... In my ar$e pocket while I'm asleep... :smt005

by **goz_83** » Wed Sep 19, 2012 10:30 am

Was gonna start a new thread until I saw this one I had already posted in. If I had 2k lying around to spend on a car, it would be the Toyota MR2 T-bar 1994 with magical doors

AND it has the same Kahn alloys I have on my FTO !!! Sweet.

If I had space in my garden I would probably buy that right now. I hate being tempted like this, If I had of know the prices these cars would be going for these days I would have bought a house with a much bigger Driveway. :cry:
