[quote=bearishgurl][quote=LesBaer45]I find the 70s models to simply be too much of depreciated asset.
The 80s models are rapidly becoming a high maintenance item.
I prefer early 90’s models myself. ;-)[/quote]
How OLD are you, LesBaer??[/quote]
Most likely waay too old for early 90’s models.

September 22, 2010 at 8:36 PM #608273CoronitaParticipantI don’t know folks. Some of the those late 90ies/2000 models aren’t all what their cracked up to be.
A lot of them were assembled with artificial parts that were cheaply manufactured. Some are in their first production run, and have a lot of undiscovered defects. Some combust spontaneously and since a lot of the later models are fly by wire, some appear to have unintended acceleration issues too…though if you argue with the manufacturer, they will always blame it on you and dismiss it as “driver error.” Essentially, you’re always wrong…. At least the older models were built with a throttle wire that is much more responsive and controllable to an extent. Haven’t you ever heard the expression..never drive the first prototypes and be that person pays for a premium to iron out all the defects? Certified preowned might be a better option..or better yet, an older model that was tucked away in the dealer storage but otherwise new….

September 22, 2010 at 8:56 PM #608278moneymakerParticipantI got a great 60’s model, love the curves. Now that it’s a west coast model hopefully won’t rust out and need extensive body work. Good tranny and as long as I keep checking the dipstick should last a long time.
P.S.-“nbcnews” maybe you can find someone who got the $8000 to buy and are holding out till 3 years is up before selling so they won’t have to give it back.September 22, 2010 at 8:56 PM #608364moneymakerParticipantI got a great 60’s model, love the curves.
