MX5 to... what?! £5-7k

[Boydie88]

£7k will buy you a very tidy VX. I've done about 15000 miles in mine and not had one problem. That is a combination of good but mostly terrible roads.

The value of them appears to have risen a bit since I last looked - long may that continue

Regarding insurance - I wouldn't even bother with mainstream insurers at your age, they'll just charge silly prices. Get some quotes with some of the proper specialists, there is a thread in Japchat somewhere with a list of a lot of them.. and then you may be able to reconsider some of your options.

Considering Admiral are the ones quoting me under £1k on a lot of these cars (supras, 3000gts, RX8), and under £1300 on things like an Elise or a 350Z, I don't think that's totally true!

I will definitely be giving a few specialists a call in the next couple of days... although I'm not 21 till october!
