I honestly don't know. these are old Cibié I found brand new... but they're 30 years old. Look up on Ebay maybe

My brother had one, I always thought it was fun. They're hefty but feel very stable.

- heavy
- slow
- eat brakes
- eat headgaskets

Look cool, drive bad.

>They're hefty but feel very stable.
Those two do tend to go together. Bigger, longer cars tend to be more stable.

yes, even AWD cars get stuck if the snow is bad enough.

If you want to track snow in your house, build up a huge layer of hardback that takes forever to melt and turns a gravel drive into muck when it does, no.

I have a plow service do mine, fuck shoveling

>>13891567
shut the fuck up and stop assuming it snows everywhere for everyone

There's nothing fun about these cars they are not only slow but the suspension and weight distribution makes them handle like utter crap.

>>13891509
Headgaskets. The 2.5 Sohc in these used an inferior headgasket and it's known to be a problem. It'll be fun in the snow and you can use almost all the 2.5rs or even some next gen wrx parts on it as the chassis Is very similar

that appears to be a non-turbo.. which means a bit slow, but that might not be a big deal to you.

one good thing about the non-turbo is that if its a manual, the transmission isn't stressed. The manual transmissions pinion bearing is weak, and will got to crap at 150k to 200k for a turbo, not sure about a non turbo.

So I would check for timing chain stretch and service of the pinion bearing.

if its a one owner car, with all service records its probably been taken care of.. and should be o.k.

Owned a few, not fun working on the front of the engine which is against the firewall because it's longitudinal but backwards. Why?

I'd go with a volvo, much easier to work on and at least here in Murika easier to find parts.

If you get a saab go with a 9000 much nicer and maintenance isn't as difficult

9000 aero>9000cse turbo>900 turbo>900s>900

Try getting a turbo, they hold their value far better, and go for the 3-door.

As a machine it's pretty much invincible.

>What's the catch?
You have to qualify for it.

>>13891415
Well fuck. I've only has my credit card for a year so there goes my plans of getting a decent vehicle for a good deal.

>>13891412
instant depreciation

unless the out the door price is lower than a certified used one and it offers an UNLIMITED warranty, then it's just called "sales marketing"

>>13891373
Yes faggot, and a .22 to the hand is basically the same as a .308 to the head

>>13891374
so please enlighten me

Don't bump your thread after 15 minutes.

Yes there will be gt3 ford gt racecars.

Not sure what corvette safe-space you're talking about, the safe space of winning the 24 hours of Le Mans?

>>13891173

The safe-space of competing in a class with almost no competition.

sounds like you should have done some more inspection before purchase. Haven't paid more than $200 for a single one of my hondas and never had that many problems with the whole lot combined.

This is what happens to cars of old age you dumbfuck

>>13890483

Sounds like a old car with little to no preventative maintenance or general care.

>but whys it broke?

>>13890038
Of course. I've taken multiple 1500 mile trips in it already.

>owning a car you wouldn't feel safe to hop in and drive anywhere

Shiggy.

>not investing in the future

i like how the US was basically forced to stop making shitty cars when all the automakers nearly went belly up a few years ago.

You're a prowler anon. Probably looking for purses and stereos.
