Funny, you admit to owning an XR4Ti. Every German I ever saw driving one looked embarrassed.
But then I'm one to talk, the little-built car I had was a Reatta. :yuck: It sucked driving a car that, when replacement parts were needed, you went to a Reatta forum and bought the part from another Reatta owner who refurbished them from cars in his personal Reatta graveyard. I'm more of a "drop in by the dealer and get the part I need today, a week at the outside" kinda guy, not a "order it from a guy who rebuilds them by hammering new parts out of metal on his blacksmith's forge, give me about 3 months and I might have it ready for you" type. The Reatta was a car I'd always wanted, until I had one. Then I wondered WHY I always wanted one. Underpowered, poor handling, so-so mileage, its only real positive was it is a 2 seat car with plenty of interior room. I fit in it well, there was room behind the seats for stuff, and it had a fair sized trunk on it. I figured on making it into a traveling car, perhaps converting it into a RWD V8, but parts availability killed it for me. A freakin' windshield for the car (had a rock chip that split all the way across the glass, across the driver's line of sight) required a 2 month wait and cost $2,200.00! Was I glad my insurance replaces broken windshields no questions asked! As soon as the glass was replaced, the car was sold.

Would this be the best "position" for a Reatta?????????????

Hey, where is that car at? I know some people who would actually give you money and buy you hookers and stuff if you told them where that car is. :biggrin:
Too bad too, had Buick correctly made it a RWD V8. left out the CRT screen and put in a little quality it would have made a fine competitor for the European sports cars they were trying to compete against. Buick stupidly thought that people would pay 40K for that car back in the late 80s instead of buying the RWD cars they were trying to compete against. And putting a 180HP 3.8L FWD powerplant in it was just plain offensive. It was at best a 15K car, the way it was built. I did enjoy driving the car, provided I didn't expect too much from it. It was a nice commuter.
But hey, enough about the Reatta, we're thread-jacking here.

You found 9 G8 GXP 6 speeds within 600 miles of you? I know that's the model jmtiseo was talking about.
You mean like the Cimarron???

640 G8s on Cars.com only 4 are equipped correctly and those are $28,000 - $35,000 even with 15K to 58K miles. For that money I'll pay a little more and buy new (328 or ATS). Of course if you could live with no trunk there are 93 2004 - 2006 GTOs priced from $9,000 to $44,000 with MTXs but the mileages are in the mid 100s for the low priced ones.

Yes, like the Cadillac Cavalier. But if you wish to continue this discussion, new thread? I don't mind talking about it, but don't want to keep jacking the thread.
