i am looking for something tasty for the summer...
Have seen all the posts here over the last cpla years comparing smaller ragtops. usual suspects....Boxsters, MX 5, Z3/4......
But its "difficult" just finding something...differant.
My last few fun cars were, in order of purchase.
MGB
CHIMAERA
BOXTER S
TR7.
All bought for less than £10k and sold on after a couple of years to fun the next. The TR7 is maybe sold, so am now looking. The MG F/TF doesnt scare me...maybe. The XK8 is maybe too much of a waft machine... A small Alfa...Spider?? I do not like mazda's at all...........

Unfortunately looking for a bit of Summer fun this is where my money would be . I wouldn't even have to think about it .

106,000 miles and £11k for the Mercedes , add 5,000 miles and whats it worth ? Factoring in depreciation of the Mercedes over a years ownership , the VXR could end up costing as little as an additional £6k in the initial purchase price over the same mileage and next to no depreciation at the end .
Shortcomings as I see it is that its a more specialised buy than the Mercedes and you may have to wait for the right Buyer come exit time .
