BMW is almost as bad though, at least in terms of the overall "base" price. Even our beloved cars were, when first on the market, close to 60K.



Yes, maintenance is a bear, and parts are more expensive than those stamped with the letters BMW. I think I'd rather have an older Miata than the Boxster S. Even with a new IMS bearing and shaft, I'd still worry about that engine imploding.
Yea but at very least if you picked up something that has 50k and hasn't imploded yet, chances are it's one of the ones that wasn't built on Fridaiy lol.

New cars just don't do it for me, everything in the past 3 years is too big, too heavy, too expensive. The only cars that I can see myself driving aside from the e86 is the previous gen Boxster or S2000 - and only b/c if I'm looking for a 2nd toy, I want top down =)
