The Mazda MX-5 Thread

Not bad at all, at that price I'd probably take the MX5 over the GT86, if only for the drop top.
 
Still a ridiculous amount of money to pay for a car, that price is only acceptable when compared to traditional (SA Ripoff) pricing on the MX-5.
To think that for the price of a new MX-5 you can buy both a decent 2nd hand NB as well as an impecabbly looked after NC and still have R50K-R80K left over for upgrades/repairs...

(You could almost get this Lotus Exige for that price http://www.autotrader.co.za/used-ca...3b0/makemodel/make/LOTUS?featuredListing=true)

Makes me sad though, I really want this car.

Or you can get a low mileage S2000 for just over half the price and spend R180,000 on mods/a holiday/your home. :whistle:

While the S2000 is close to, if not better, than the ND MX-5 (can't confirm since I haven't driven the ND MX-5), I guaranteed you it will blow it out of the water after R180,000 in mods. :twisted:

Edit: For that matter you can pick up a BMW Z4M for around the R200,000 mark and have plenty left over for mods/if anything breaks.

That's if you can find an S2000. Checked AutoTrader.co.za, Cars.co.za, Automart.co.za yesterday and there was one advertised. Had a supercharger conversion on it already (Brakpan). I wouldn't touch it.

There's one on gumtree, a 2008 that the guy wants stupid money for. Also there was a nice 200 model with 45,000 on the clock, guy wanted a bit too much at R200,000 (considering that specific car is 15 years old).
