How hard is it to find parts for a Peugeot 505?

Pretty damn hard, honestly, however, I know of one in a junkyard within 10 miles of campus

Yea I found one in my town for $700 but I would probably have better luck keeping that Volvo 122 running.

I would prefer more than two seats but I don't think it is really a necessity.
I don't understand... you have a miata. It is a car that sells for less than $3k, is mostly invisible, parks easy, good on gas... doesn't suck and you can replace 99% of it from the junkyard for cheap or replace the whole thing for beater money (unless your car is all tarted up ;) ).
If you have a "special" Miata... just get another one.

the answer is "wagon"..... cheap, dont attract attention, hold a ton of gear, and you can live in it when the bottom falls out.. I had a k-car wagon for awhile (think it was a mid-late 80's model), despite the fact i hated k-cars, and wagons, that was a great wagon, and i became very fond of it very quickly... even the blood sucking, vain, money thieving ex who gave me attitude everytime we went out in anything besides the p-car grew to love it. when i figured out she did, i gave it away...
i now like wagons, and the ex is long out of my life...

My Miata is "special" and I don't really see the point of getting two of the same car when there are many other cars I want to own in my life.
I found another option (http://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/1081662064.html). I have always wanted a Rabbit but don't know if I would want the diesel after some bad experiences with my Merc diesel. I would imagine that the Rabbit is a little easier to work on though and I could always swap a gas engine in if it got too bad. It looks very clean.
