Neither the MX-6 or Probe can be seen on the road in significant numbers any more, despite selling in large quantities - but you can still see W201s and W124s plugging along every day in any North American city. I haven't seen a Probe (outside of the junkyard) in months.
There is a bizzare amount of them around my area, they're not totally uncommon, but the roof kind of scares me a bit - it looks really brittle. I worry about rollovers, I'm a tall guy so I don't have much headroom to spare
. That's the main reason I got rid of my 240, it was a tank, but it was a tin can and I figured I'd die in it if I was driving 300km a day (it was also unbearably loud, I took out all the sound proofing, haha).
I'm not against RWD cars in the snow, I drove the Camaro in the winter will all seasons on it, and the 240sx with some good blizzaks, without a working VLSD. As long as it's manageable and not super low as to get me stuck everywhere, I'm ok with whatever.
I did get some insurance quotes back:
1998 BMW 318is Coupe - $2696
1994 BMW 318i Sedan - $2542
1992 Mercedes-Benz 190E - $2542
1990 Mercedes-Benz 300E - $3079
1995 Acura Integra Coupe - $2619
1995 Honda Civic Coupe - $2360, Sedan - $2360, Hatchback - $2299
So, I dunno. It doesn't look good for the cool cars
. I did find a nicely priced BMW 318is, auto though (poop). How are these things for high mileage? Stay away, or are they ok? I've seen a lot in the 200-250km range.
Edit: part availability still good on the older cars? It'll make me a little upset if I have to replace something stupid and I can't get the part anymore.
