I think he's fishing for more. If the car magically comes up as available tomorrow, we'll know.

Who knows. I'm tired of this either way, I don't have time to be shopping for cars every damn day. Either this miata works out, that silver Spyder works out, or I'm quitting until the fall/winter. I'm not doing what I always end up doing - getting impatient, caving, and buying something I don't really want at a price I don't really want to pay. The buy high, sell low life has to end.

Just don't get desperate. Keep an eye out casually, and what comes up comes. I usually take months to buy a car.troyguitar wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2017 3:09 pm Who knows.

Wait I am totally lost now with all these random cars.
can you just start a god damn thread. For some of us immigrants your 'ing is hard to follow.
1. Wtf is the BRG Miata?
2. I thought you bought the Poorsche wheels already
3. Did you cancel the whole Poorsche idea?

I've been shopping off and on for 2 years and seriously for the past 8 months. Exactly 2 cars have popped up that actually meet everything I'm looking for including price, that's these two. Hell I was ready to throw way too much money at the local Poorsche guy to just be done, but he randomly quit replying to texts and doesn't answer calls. I can't even buy a fucking car that I don't really want.Detroit wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2017 3:12 pmJust don't get desperate. Keep an eye out casually, and what comes up comes.

The answer, as always, is to have more money and just order whatever you want brand new. is always right.

Poorsche wheels are incoming, but they were cheap enough that they can be resold for a small profit so if I use them or not.
I still like the Poorsche idea but no owner is willing to sell one to me with reasonable options at a reasonable price. They all want full retail pricing or more for shit that doesn't even have the damn sport package which costs another $2000 to add... and most can't even figure out whether they have said sport package, or how to take a photo or type or answer a phone call.

+1 I started getting serious in March. I bought in early June. Aint no reason to rush at all. Its cars and sometimes its a 10 min process or a 10 month ordeal. I got sick of search at times as well.Detroit wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2017 3:12 pmJust don't get desperate. Keep an eye out casually, and what comes up comes.

Silver MR2 dude actually did finally get back to me, I'll know more tomorrow but this might actually happen:
https://louisville.craigslist.org/cto/6138847814.html
Very little info so far, but I get the impression that the owner is the typical old dude weekend cruiser who has quit driving the car because old knees/back/etc. This is all he wrote:

The red int is beautiful, and it's had the IMS bearing done. I wonder what the final sale price will be.

That red interior is so tits. I am still kicking myself for not buying that damn 2009 Cayman I saw. It was black with red full leather non S. Porsche of main line wanted $42k. It was worth every penny of that. This was in 2012 or 2013.
