Here's what's around right now to replace the Miata:
-
86 944, Champagne over Tan, 220K miles, 4K on new timing belt, ALL service records from 86-11. Needs tie rods, stereo re-wire, driver's seat help. $2500
-
84 944, Gunmetal over Brown/Tan, 173K, last had timing belt at 136K so it's due, no records pre-06, full records from then on including shocks, brakes, bearings, axles, etc. Has a GLASS sunroof and the metal one. Original clutch, PS leaks, but has 7" F and 9" R Fuchs (real ones). $2900 OBO
-
85.5 944, Champagne over Black/Cream, 212K miles. Had timing belt + head rebuild 4K ago (with receipts). Needs major interior help and a paint or polish on the hood. $2300 OBO
-
924 Turbo, Silver/Black over Black/Crazy Checkers, 99K miles, tons of ricer mods, 5-lug 944 suspension swap, being sold as a "mad tyte drifter yo!" $3000
I'm tempted by the first two, mainly because of condition and records. The second one would have been perfect as an 85.5, but I really don't want an early car (been there, done that).
