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.

>Needs to be a 'vert
>Needs to be manual
>Would prefer a 4 seater, not mandatory as long as it has enough room to hide a body with 2 passengers
>Not a Miata
>Flip up headlights are a plus
>Preferably good on gas
>Not a fucking Miata
>Fast as fuck is a plus
>Easily available in okay condition for 3k or less
>I like the look of cars from the 80s
>And not a mother fucking Miata
>I'm not a fan of German cars
>or Miatas

Things I've considered:
>RX-7, it's a 2 seater though, and the 13B has known problems
>TR7, but they're difficult to find and 2 seater
>Foxbody Mustangs, but the GT is bad on gas and no flip up headlights
>Porsche 944, but they're very hard to find in convertible

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.

SW20.
Add tarbo later.
Literally ticks all the boxes.

240sx Vert?

>convertible
>4 seater

Out

Fiata

maybe he wants to play Hitler?

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.

Literally the only good option here.

Whoever posted the Sebring, kys. Why are you on an auto enthusiast board posting Sebrings?

>auto """enthusiast""" board

nigga this is a malaysian unicycle repair and maintenance forum.

>no german cars

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

OP HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE PHRASE: "BEGGARS CANT BE CHOOSERS"

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

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.

True, consider a 240 then, just beware of rust.

>and the 13B has known problems

???

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

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.

I see what you did there.

Are you in the mob? What's with the body bag in the passenger seat.

>Would prefer a 4 seater, not mandatory as long as it has enough room to hide a body with 2 passengers

Did I stutter?

Actually a z32 would better.. Its more comfy than the 240 and a much better cruiser

That's another one of those cars I considered, but was turned off because of the looks.

Try look for a MX5, they are great cars

Kys

mustang vert. v6 or v8 depending on how gas conservative you wanna be

:/
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.

Lmao you fool this is what you get

jesus christ that is ugly

>I let my girlfriend borrow my shitbox, and she wrecked the shit out of it.
seems to be a common thing

idk about the 3k stipulation though
this guy used the image I was gonna post how about that

>>I let my girlfriend borrow my shitbox, and she wrecked the shit out of it.
>seems to be a common thing
This is why I hesitate to let anyone use my car.

...

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.

fuq

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.

ikr

Your shit got fucked up royally

>I'm a retarded 16 year old who can only think in Veeky Forums memes

you can find them at a lower price since nobody wants the convertible because. This is in LA too, used cars are typically more expensive here.

maybe you should consider getting a convertible PT Cruiser :^)

delaware.craigslist.org/cto/5940203094.html
This is the only one relatively close to me.

I was also considering this RX-7.
(I'm in PA)

A PT Cruiser? Really?

>I let my girlfriend borrow my shitbox, and she wrecked the shit out of it

How did she wreck the rear of the car so hard? She drives everywhere in reverse?

Good luck finding a working 240sx convertible for under 3k

From what I can gather, she took a turn doing at least 40. My Celica was never meant to be a drift car.

see

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
