I let my girlfriend borrow my shitbox, and she wrecked the shit out of it. So I'm looking for a new vehicle, and I'm turning to Veeky Forums to help me decide.

I'm hoping you guys can help me out here, as I have no idea what to get. Pic related, it's the shitbox my girlfriend wrecked.
Pic related is easily the most underrated 4-seat convertible of all time, but good luck finding it in manual.
The other option is a Lelclipse Spyder, but they're harder to shop for.

Have you looked at Porsche 924 convertible? They're cheaper than 944s and also less prone to breaking down.
Tyler Miller
SW20. Add tarbo later. Literally ticks all the boxes.
Kayden James
240sx Vert?

I'd get a 924 or a MR2, but I'm not seeing any available local to me. I've already considered both of them. I don't like Sebrings or "Lelclipses" because everyone has one.
I'm also half tempted to just buy another Celica. It was a great daily.
Nicholas Thomas
Literally the only good option here.
Whoever posted the Sebring, kys. Why are you on an auto enthusiast board posting Sebrings?

Lol true Forgot to mention, E30 vert should also suit your needs well

WELL WITH ONLY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARY DOO LITTLES YOU ARE A BEGGAR NOT A CHOOSER

>I let my girlfriend borrow my shitbox, and she wrecked the shit out of it. why does this keep happening
Juan Morales
The only issue is that I have an undying hate for BMWs and Volksfagens for no good reason. I've found everything there for $3K or less. Except a 'vert 944, I've found hardtops for that price though.
Ayden Rodriguez
True, consider a 240 then, just beware of rust.

wait 20 years and get a Fiat 124
otherwise e36 z3, e46 330ci, 9-3, 240sx, 300zx,or save a little more and get a c4 corvette
Robert Bell
My one friend who used to be an engine builder told me the stock apex seals on the 13B go out between 90k-140k miles. I've considered getting a C4, but I'm looking for a shitbox daily. I've also considered 9-3s, but they're just damn ugly.
Jack Hughes
I see what you did there.
Lincoln Gomez
Are you in the mob? What's with the body bag in the passenger seat.
Jacob Sanders
>Would prefer a 4 seater, not mandatory as long as it has enough room to hide a body with 2 passengers
Did I stutter?
Carson Sanchez
Actually a z32 would better.. Its more comfy than the 240 and a much better cruiser
Ayden Gray
That's another one of those cars I considered, but was turned off because of the looks.
Nolan Gomez
Try look for a MX5, they are great cars

mustang vert. v6 or v8 depending on how gas conservative you wanna be
Dylan Walker
:/ How does Nissan fuck up headlights that badly? Z31s are so much better looking. I'm not a bitch, I obviously need the largest, least fuel efficient engine I can get.
Ryan Brooks
Lmao you fool this is what you get

A vote for FC RX-7 here. Plenty of convertibles that nobody else wants for cheap. Checks all your boxes and is infinitely more reliable than a TR7 despite the apex seals meme.

That's why I'm looking for more suggestions of unpopular cars that don't cost as much. I'm okay with some of the cheap garbage on craigslist since it's just gonna be a daily. The Celica in the picture only cost me $900. If I wasn't already considering getting rid of the car, I wouldn't have let her borrow it.

How did she wreck the rear of the car so hard? She drives everywhere in reverse?
Christopher Fisher
Good luck finding a working 240sx convertible for under 3k
Caleb Davis
From what I can gather, she took a turn doing at least 40. My Celica was never meant to be a drift car.

I spy with my little eye a front passenger fender that doesn't line up. Dude probably rolled the wheel back in to the wheel well on a curb. >Lowered but doesn't say what he lowered it with >No engine pic
I went 240 shopping for a year before buying mine. Its damn near impossible to find even a nice KA that runs well under 3k
