    I suddenly feel like Miatas are getting overrated (IN MY OPINION), but id say they are underrated-fairly rated (the jetta is underrated)

      I wouldn’t say “overrated” but I would definitely say becoming more popular instead. Popularity = Car prices going higher. There really isn’t anything much to “overly-rate” the Miata besides its some tuning possibilities. It’s not the fastest car, nor the most comfortable. The handling is not great either as in its stock form.

      Any japanese car meet i go to, at least 1/3 of the cars there are mx5. Because they are cheap, the market for parts is big, and thats all because alot where made. Also they are reliable and i can litterly go outside and see a hundred parked and driving.

Other than that, the Nissan 300 ZX is calling my name, yet I'm having a lot of issues with the price. I wonder if I could ever find one under 6-7k?

    Top pick is Acura TL. Called it! I expect you could find a decent Toyota Solara under 4k too, but it would have to be the base model coupe or a really leaky convertible. All the cars under 4k will have lots of problems. As far as I know, given it retailed for 30k and is a Toyota, the SLE V6 2nd gen convertible is probably worth between 6k with more than 150,000 mi to 10k with less than 75,000 miles, or am I overestimating it's value?

    Stand up? Good idea! Mark, you have converted me to liking a couple BMWs over a year and a half, and I hope you take pride in this, as I used to be prejudice against all of them. I now realize there are much worse cars on the road, like Audis, Land Rovers, Mazaraties, Mercedes, Fiats, Minis, and Jaguars. It may take a couple more years of conversion for me to like these, but I don't think it will work because aside from the Land Rovers these things look kinda lame or even ugly unless they're, like, fully built.
