>can realistically afford £2k a year
>Want to upgrade to a classic car that drives nice and will teach me basic maintaince skills
>See '92 VW Corrado with the NA 1.8 16V for £3k

What the fuck is this shite? How does anyone under 25 afford to be a car enthusiast?

>Corrado
There's your problem, chavs love these things (as well as anything with a GTI, Sport or Type R badge) and they've wrecked fuckloads of them in the past, ruining the fun for everyone else

Anything similar you would recommend?

what's the coverage like over there?

In 'murica, you usually just have to do like $30/60k liability coverage, with no collision or comprehensive. That's how 18 year olds buy shitbox sportscars and pay $240 a year for shit insurance that will max out the second they doriftu into a telephone pole.

By not living in the UK.

Insurance on my rx8 is $1200 a year with a $100 renewal.

UK drivers are statistcally safer. Something is up with UK insurers. Perhaps the jews are behind this?

MX-3 maybe? Also based on their bread-and-butter shitbox, also came with optional 6 cylinder engine that sounds great. Often overlooked because of the MX-5.

>tfw Germany
>tfw similar to Murrika prices purely for liability but 7.5 million injury coverage and 1.12 million material coverage by law

Love the MX-3 but there's only 1 for sale on AutoTrader and my insurance quote is £4700
