Kristian has time to save, but now the time has come: space for a second car. For Subaru, he has a weak, but that also applies to convertible cars and roadsters. As long as the second car but good for karrevrachten fun.
We look at his autohistorie, then we understand Kristians love for Subaru’s. A Impreza if funauto is obvious, but shines through absence in the following row. So Kristian is already a Impreza and had been there for us for 13 mille cars that are more fun. Certainly, if practicality should not be a major priority.

Preferred brands /models:Subaru, Roadster or cabrio
No-go models / marks:None
A roadster or cabrio is an advantage for Kristian, he is open for suggestions with a fixed roof. Furthermore, he would like air conditioning, cruise control, and no more than 120,000 miles on the clock. A reliable car is preferred, but we share that desire not do it all? Honda’s S2000 is high on the wish list, but a neat according to Kristian above the budget. No go’s in regards to brands, he has not, so we can attempt him by surprise.
Freude am Fahren BMW Z4 2.5 i
While you are inclined immediately to go search for a Z3, also the prices of the first generation Z4 now for a friendly price level dropped. Within the budget, we find a number of 2.5 i’s, with a not overly powerful, but oh so smooth six-in-line. Do you want a future classic, then you would also have a Z3 Coupe may consider. A beautiful and well-maintained instance we do not see more, drop in price, on the contrary. Just here to look out for when purchasing.
Tight socks: Opel GT
Do you want unfiltered driving pleasure, than its an Opel Speedster or his example Lotus Elise is a good choice. Kirstians eisenlijstje (air conditioning, cruise control) do, however, suspect that he to something a little more comfortable looking than the spartan roadsters can offer. With the successor of the Speedster, the GT, threw Opel is a completely different bow. Not a hardcore sports car but a sporty roadster. GT’s are very thin on the ground and within the budget you will only make copies with a slightly higher count. Incidentally, it is good, with GM’s tweeliter turbo. Keep in mind that not only the supply is tight, but the GT itself also and especially in terms of trunk space. A week break can, but then you should not too many are willing to take.
Balanced: Porsche Boxster
In 1996, the Porsche with a fresh entry-level model. Originally with 2.5 and 204 hp from 1999 with a 2.7 with 220 hp. That year also saw the Boxter S the light, with the 3.2 from the 911, good for 252 hp. With the facelift in 2002, the regular Boxster, there is still some capacity, bringing the total to 228 hp. Although certainly the original 2.5 not a lot of power, the Boxsters are good for enormous driving pleasure. Many parts are shared with the 911 and also in terms of the reliability scores, the Boxster is good. Go for a documented instance, maintenance can be done by the midships issued and therefore hard-to-reach engine a lot in the paper walk. In particular, Check also the video that we made with three generations of the Boxster, including points of attention.
Banzai: Nissan 350Z (Roadster)
Why would you in a ondergemotoriseerde MX-5 to drive, if you are also in a Japanese sports car with 3.5 V6 and rear wheel drive can steps? With 280 hp (after the update in 2006 even 300 hp), you always have more power than in a first generation Boxster and is a top of 250 km/h is guaranteed. The coupe flies in less than six seconds to 100, the Roadster has slightly longer is needed for that. Anyway, the coupe is slightly stiffer and lighter, but such a fabric roof is worth something. You must have something better to search for within the budget of a handsome homeless copy. In the base is the 3.5 V6 is a very strong block, but walk with a big bow to be tuned or poorly documented specimens and check also this list with points of attention.
Good search and/or possible to collect more coupons: Honda S2000
The offer S2000’s is already not large, let alone copies for less than 13 mille. At this time, there is no one who meets the stated requirements, though we see one with 130.000 km for 12.950 euro. But if the S2000 is really the car that you actually want (and that we understand completely), then why not a little longer save up and keep searching for a good copy? This is a mileage higher than 120,000 kilometers, really is not necessarily a problem, but go for an original copy with a demonstrable maintenance history. That way you can also use the depreciation to a minimum. A pre-purchase check at a such a car, as with the previously mentioned options, nor is it a bad idea.
