I sold my Porsche 944 for $2,018 after my daughter was born.
Spend the most you can up front to get the best one you can. If maintenance is not really your thing, get an 85.5+ so you don't have to worry about belt tensioning (as much).
Honestly, they're not good daily drivers unless you know how to work on cars. A single screw costs like $5 bucks... a simple crank sensor (of which there are two) will cost you $175 a piece...
I would stick with the Mazda...
Either that, or you can get a good used late 90s Porsche Boxster... they're dirt cheap. I see them going all day for like $5,000 with less than 70k miles on them.

That's just what ended in the past week. I haven't honestly looked in over a year, but I see them quite frequently sell for (realistically) around $6,500-$7,500 bucks for the mid to late 90s ones...
"Hi again Michael. I just received the information from my Service Department. Here are the details.
Turn signal does not cancel
Power Steering has a small leak
Both lower ball joints are loose
Sway bar bushing is loose
Drivers side window washer nozzle does not
operate
Rear wiper does not operate"
AMAZING, they told me the truth. I'm not buying the car as I can't get all of this work done here, but this dude made a friend: White Automotive Group in Dayton.
Thanks again. Maybe someday a Porsche for me. . . .
Thanks
The clutch has a spring on the pedal for immediate return, so pedal feel wouldn't be too noticeable. Can you tell however if there feels like you're not really pushing anything? Most of the effort would be from the clutch master cyl though, so it might feel the same.
Check for any leaks near the slave cyl.. I would suspect this is likely the case.
Thanks
Thanks
