Car choosing help please
Discussion
My sister has decided the time has come (with her new job) to get a new car - hence giving me mine back! (Finally!)
She is looking for something along the lines of MX5/ Eunos Roadster, MGF, or FTO.
I am not too sure about the advantages/disadvantages of going down the Eunos route - will this mean that it is an import (grey?) if so how does this affect things like warrenty and resale value?
She sems to have found an interesting Ralliart FTO for about 5995 (Very Max of her budget) at only 27K miles - does this sound reasonable - T£T one owner, VGC etc etc.
As an alternative can anyone else think of other similar cars that she could look at (she has also looked at an old style Civic and a Barchetta)
She isn't really into cars per se, but is getting all excited at the thought of getting a wee roadster and I don't want her to make the plunge without a bit of forethought.
Ideally the car should be relativly low milage as well (sub 50K)
Your thoughts please ladies and gents...
Cheers, Phil

Hmmm well, she just called me and she has set her heart on something which she is going to see on Sunday.
One of these I believe:
A 1975 MGB! A brave choice as she knows nothing about car maintenance. But, we have a friendly garage so hopefully she won't get too stung.
Edited to correct spolling and to add: Big Al - Interesting car - is it a true UK car or a Eunos? If the above falls through I may point her in your direction (she lives in Nottingham - so a wee bit of a trek, but I'll wait and see as yours seems a pretty good car)
