You've missed the 'a' out of bargain

HTH

I would suggest that any TVR Chimaera below 10k may well be a bit of a bargain, that sort of look, style and performance for that sort of money.

You can pick up Honda S2000s for well under 10k these days as well, which sounds good to me.

i agree about the s2k and chimp.

at the other end of the scale i think mk3 mr2s seem a good price.

a bit odd looking but a 968 cabriolet isn't going to be the worst investment ever.

to be honest you could get an earlyish (98??) elise in decent nick for £9k.

edited to say oh, £5k!

944 cabriolet then.
or ideally just a 944s2 (not entirely sure about your definition of 'sports'.

Sorry mate budget has changed...now 5k max!

My mates got a nice Ginetta for around that money, but then it did need a new engine. Another collegue has built a 2.0l Vauxhall engine'd Tiger for not a lot more, I'd think it's the quickest car you could get for that kind of price. Failing that obviously an MX-5.

although i saw a cobalt s2 with c70k miles and fpsh for the same price a few months ago (in a less 'urban' area!)

[baSkey]

Yah?

[SpeedyGonzales]

Go on, i will let off that horrible Porsche 914.

All this for £4,200

If reliability is a factor then you simply have to consider an E36 M3. A good Evo will set you back more than the 5k limit ( a really good one will be more than double), but the 3.0 is still a fine car.

If you can foot the (big) bills, an E34 M5 would be my choice.

ETA: ^^ Beaten to it.

£5k will get you an early 928 or alternatively an RX7 (and don't believe the myths about the tips going every 5 minutes, a well sorted engine if looked after will last 70k miles between rebuilds).

[bodhi]

I'd call this a bargain.

you're quite right. i don't like it all that much myself..i was just thinking how much oomph you could get out of it (it being a sub £4k car!)

I agree from the power point of view,its definitely worth it.
