BUY IT OR NOT? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Mr. Norm on  Tue Aug 1 10:33 CST 2006 [RELATED]

a 96 GLT is NOT a turbo, 97 is LPT. When these cars get to 10 years of age, you are going to spend some money replacing every rubber part.

When the car gets to 100k, you are going to spend money on electrical stuff like the ABS module and the O2 sensors.

If you spend the money to do this stuff, which will seem never ending for 12 - 18 months, you are good for another 50 - 80K before all the same stuff again needs to be replaced.

My car turned 100k at 10 years of age, spent a 3 - 4 killo bucks over the last two years. But the damn thing now drives better than when I bought it. I personally am willing to drop the money in return for another decade of service.
