mrpushbutton Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I worked on one for a "prominent citizen" of my hometown. IMHO, they are just OK, in some ways less of a car than a "Detroit bodied" Cadillac of the same given model year. Some things are really shoe horned in there (tight) and the instrument panel can pose a serious financial hardship if anything goes bad on it. I'm crazy about the current XLR roadster though!

I would suggest you stop in the forum at allante-net:http://66.34.30.72/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgiThe biggest problem with the 87-92 cars is the ABS. If the system isn't serviced annually, the ABS unit fails, and the brakes go with it. The 93s have a different system that doesn't have this problem.
