No bank will give him a $33k loan on an old shitbox at age 20.
$13.5k for an RX-8 is retarded.
$10k for a clean miata is fine, but I'd get a newer ND because it's so much better.
>also i'm in europe so everything is like 1.2x as expensive
Dude, get a fucking megane rs then. Or a fucking diesel giulia in manual transmission and tune it to 240hp for $500. That's a great option, because it's going to be your daily anyway but it'll also outhandle all the stupid cars in your head.
Or import a car from japan, because you have no 15 year or 25 year rule bullshit and get access to the cheap stuff first. You can get a GC8 WRX for under $10k all day long, miatas are cheap as fuck, and same with 86's.
The cheapest manual 86 I see on autoscout24 is 14,000 eurobucks with 161,000km (lol). You can get the exact same car with 81,000km for 5,100 eurobucks from Japan. Shipping from Japan to Europe is cheap (like $1200-1500). And if you buy at auction you'll probably save $1,000 - $2,000 over the prices I'm listing.
A mazdaspeed6 or mazdaspeed3 is literally $5k
Other great options: 1 series BMWs in manual
These cost around $3k starting for a 130i. They have hydraulic steering, manual transmission, and make good horsepower from either a NA engine or a turbo I6.
While car prices are retarded right now, used sports car prices are actually really good.
