Hi @Richard W Schutte,
to the forum from me too, across the pond in Staffordshire, UK. Good luck with your search


Welcome to the forum from Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. Hope you find something out there that strikes your fancy. Sold my 1.9 last year but also have a 3.2 ///M to use........................FrankieHello folks,
New guy here. My story is I owned a 2000 Mazda miata SE for 14 years. Bought her brand new. However, due to finanical issues I had to sell her in 2015.
Now I am semiretired. Intitally I was thinking about another Maita. Also BMW Z4. But thinking about it I really like the body style of the Z3.
So Iam intrested in a manual 2.8 model. Any thoughts on that would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Rich
I realize that this the toughest time to buy a convertible as it is coming into the season for them. But with this 'stay at home' condition, you may have conditions in your favor. I always take my time to look around as what you are looking for always seems to come around the block sooner or later. I always like to look on Craigslist for cars in Florida or California as there's no salt used on the road in the winter. I've bought 3 or 4 cars in Florida, flown down to pick them up and drove straight back without stopping. Of course, I was almost dead by the time I got home. The last time I did this, I stopped twice for and hour break to sleep. A few years back, I found my 3.2 ///M in California. A forum member, @miller1098 , flew over from Wales to Philly, and we both went to California to drive it back to Jersey. I got it for $7800 in March of 2015. What a great trip we had!!! If you find something and you need a hand getting it, if I can help you, let me know. Meanwhile, look around and don't be in a rush unless it's a super deal.......................FrankieThank you.
That blue is stunning.
PS. you can see some of the video of our trip in the archives dated back in 2015 March.........FrankieThank you.
