Opinions required urgently...

[alunr]

My dad is on his way over to visit me and has just hit me with wanting to view some cars in the area...

Mazda RX-7 (89)
Saab 900i convertible (90-92)
Toyota Supra Turbo (H reg)
Toyota Supra (G-reg)
Ford Probe 2.5
Nissan 300ZX (98/99)

Any opinions or suggestions for other £2-£4k cars either coupe or cabriolet.

My concern is the Jap stuff having mileage could get expensive.

You could also try looking at 200sx's. 4K should get you an s14 (the non pop-up headlight version). I would not even look at the Probe.

The main thing to look for on these sort of cars is a service history so you know the oil has been changed regularly. This should mean that the turbo will last.

Vaxhall Calibra 2.5 (thinks its a V6?) (around k-plate?)
Audi Coupe?
Subaru SVX? (no idea how much you can pick these up for, they are rare)
BMW 3 series coupe / conv.

Hope these help!

You could get an early GTV for about that money - probably only a 2 litre though.

Porsche 944 - lots of decent ones around at those prices

I'd go for the 300ZX out of that list.

Only if you don't have to pay the bills Agent006

You'll struggle to find a 300ZX that young, didnt they stop importing them in '96 due to emmisions?

I agree, I had the 2.5 a while back & it basically fell to bits. They are basically a mazda 626 with ford badges. I would personally go for the saab.
