what budget? (1st time buying my own car)

Post by Michael Po » Tue Nov 13, 2001 6:27 pm

Is $8,000 too low? Can get a good 8 year old car privately for about $5-6,000.
Should I increase my budget? How much should I spend to get a reasonable mx5
with no major problem on it?

Thank you for your advice.

Michael,

I would say you would get a good 89-90 for $8k, a good 91-92 for $10-12k,
(all 1.6 engines) a good 93-94 for $13-14k (1.8l), and a good later model
1.8 for $15-$17k. If you want a new shape M2 then I think they start at
about $24k.
