as for the m coupe are you looking for the S54? if so, don't expect a deal.

the last S54 that came up for sale sold for $42K. that's only 3K below new. this car had 7K miles on it.
most S54 will sell for low the mid 30K.
S52 is holding stead at mow to mid 20K. even ones with 80K miles are selling at 22K. this is a nation wide average not just in CA. there aren't enough cars to see a trend for just CA.

I want something that is about fun- screw practicality.
My list is long:
996 C2 (LOVE IT, but might be too soon..)
350Z (Friends already have it...)
Z4 3.0 (Can't get over the fact it's made in Mexico...it is right?)
Mini Cooper S (It's so fun to drive and this is the perfect age for it)
New Miata (Lacks the speed, but I always liked Miatas)
C5 Z06 (Can't get over the hideous interior...)
M Coupe (Can't find any with the good engine for sale up here :no: )
If only Evolution's were for sale in Canada....that would instantly solve the problem. Notice the similarities in the Evo and my name.

I found it! I was looking at a 996 and found an MR2 in the back of the shop. 1/6th the price. Saves so much money for modifications!
92 MR2.
MINT condition, no rust, US vehicle. Beautiful body...just needs an engine swap. Current engine actually has low mileage. My mechanic has ok'd it. Beautiful, beautiful body.
Should I get it?
8k US inc. taxes (10K CDN w/taxes that are 15%)

lawrence almost inspired me to give up on the civic and go for a mki mr2 for my autocross beater, but after a little research, I think I'm better off with the civic 
Get the mr2, use your leftover dough to buy a solara v6 and a trd supercharger
:edit: although 8k does seem pretty steep for a mr2 in need of a swap:thinking:
