Who doesn’t love some unnecessary car shopping in the morning? Let’s dive right in with this battle tested Autobahn warrior. Those rock chips on the bumper are badges of honor from its (presumably) many 100+ mph highway blasts in 150k miles. A $5,000 Mercedes is never cheap.

Is a 28 year old Miata an antique? This somewhat flustered dealer posing as a private seller thinks so. Only $2,000 for a 300k “hard to find” antique? This is also one of the worst ads I’ve seen in a while and poses so many questions while not really answering any . Worth a read.

Here is an actually good deal on a Miata. Somehow silver looks really good on this with the bei ge interior? $5,800 and 110k.

How about a seriously rare but very mundane car? I don’t recall ever seeing a Stratus Coupe in the wild, and this one is a manual! I recall RCR being quite un enthused about this forgotten near luxury coupe. Who was this for in the first place? 160k and $1,500.

Hmmm, this is pretty cheap for a Cooper Works in good nick. I am very tempted by this pocket rocket, if it weren’t for the color scheme. $4,900 and 110k!

This is pretty close to the perfect 1st gen Mini, with only 75k on the odo. This is the perfect color scheme, low miles, an S, and a high trim for only $6,000! Union Jacks on the sunroof and mirrors anyone ? And a two tone blue interior? I would totally rock this! I’ve always had a soft spot for the Clubman, and I’m considering buying something more fun this summer. Too bad this won’t still be around in a few months.

Dang! He DD’ed this for 5 years? And is only asking $1,800? Rotary, yo!

Well, that’s all folks. What would you pick?

Nows your chance to buy a $2,000 set that comes with a FREE Miata!

My Takes :
SLK: a friend of a friend has one with the V6 and an autobox. They’ve had a reasonably trouble free ownership. Budget for repairs and this would actually be a reasonable daily. However, I’ve head that with a stick, these feel a bit like a truck.
Miata 1: this would make a nice drift missile.
Miata 2: every car where LS is the trim level is legally required to be powered by an LS. This is not. This is a bad car.
Stratus: little known fact: these are built on a totally different platform as the sedans. In fact, rather than being a cloud car, this is, in fact, a DSM. Seriously, look it up.
JCW Mini: Very fast, but will break a lot. Read through Sony’s post history. Would be a fantastic car if you also own a backup car.
Mini 2: the only reason the miles are so low on this is because it was always too broken to drive. Still, I would buy this in a heartbeat. So cool. CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.
Mazda: holy crap, that is a steal. Buy it immediately.

One of these days, someone will take me up on the challenge and turn their stratus into a tribute to the super touring car form the 90s

You are doing something wrong when a thrashed RX7 would be cheaper in the long run than a Mini.
But are the non S trims as unreliable?

I really like that generation of Clubman. We test drove one as a potential car for my wife. I was a fan, but then I read about reliability/upkeep costs. That quickly killed that idea.
