At this moment I am looking for a car, I wrecked my Z34 www.s2studios.net/myz34.html. It had $4200 and it was a write off, I was all choked up about this because I have had the car for a long time, it was unique and it meant a lot to me.
I was assuming the settlement with insurance would only be like $2000, but yesterday I got some good news, I am getting $3200 for it. Which is what I would have asked if I was selling it, after all it was in awesome condition, anyways this is beside the point... I am looking for a car, i have stumbled across several cars for sale that I am interested in,


1993 cutlass supreme 2dr convertible, black with leather interior. 3.4L twin dual cam V6. It has 215k on it.

1996 cutlass supreme 2dr, red 172k. But do all cutlass supremes have the 3.4L twin dual cams or are their certain editions?

a friend of a friend is selling a:

1991 beige eagle talon TSI with 145k and a recent tune up, he claims it runs perfect. It needs new tires pretty soon though. $3500


-OR-


1995 Lebaron red, convertible, body is in excellent shape, I am not sure what they are asking for it, or how it runs. I want this one just so I can call it The Baron...




I am asking your expert opinion on these choices and if these cars had any major faults?

thankyou!:repost::guns:

put your flame suit on,

why ask people their opinions? In the end, its going to be YOUR car. so go drive all the choices, find the one you like, and get the appropriate checks/inspections done.

/insert Z06 comments :rofl: (just to pis speople off :angel: )

I wouldn't go for any of the above - the 200k+ are probably going to be a maintenance nightmare, and I wouldn't touch a DSM (talon) w/ a 10ft pole unless you want repair bills everytime you turn around.

If the 93 Cutlass conv is in good condition my vote goes to it.

not something you see everyday.

I heard lots bad about the 3.4L dual cam V6. But as Mark4091, very rare body style. Check out www.carsurvey.org

What I really like about the car is the fender emblem with all the flags
