True, dat... I should look at those too, although a Miata doesn't have the same appeal to me that an Alfa does. I'd really like a classic. Reliability isn't a HUGE factor, really. I'd be glad to spend the winter sorting out a car, and I would still have the Benz for DD duty.

I will look at the here vs there price of Miatas though. If I can realistically buy a good one for <4k on the west coast then sell it locally for 8+, then it's worth considering.
