Re: g60 yeah or nah (kbs)

I drive mine about 50 miles a day and haven't had any major problems. They are 10-12 years old so it will have the regular wear that any car would. The corrado has some common problems such as sunroof, spoiler, heater core failures. If you buy one replace the cog belt on the supercharger as soon as possible (same day). Go to www.corrado-club.com and read about the corrado, there's lots of good info there. I say go for it but try to have some money saved just in case.

Mine was reliable, never left me stranded. 160k miles on the origional g lader. Guess it all depends on the previous owners.

i usual put about 30-40 miles on mine daily. rarely any probs with the car, only batttery drain and a new alternator since july. Im doing a full tune-up in april and then i will begin to add the performance stuff. just take care of her and she will take care of you. it also helps to for her to have had a good previous owner

check out my site, under the Bio section. There's a blip of how to get the most out of your G60.
The unreliability factor can be diminshed!

Re: g60 yeah or nah (slingshotG60)

Previous owner is most important. I bought mine from the original owner with 150K on it. He had records of everything and had it all done at the dealer. No mods only service stuff. Look for one as original as possible. 50 miles a day and more on the weekends and my C has never let me down. Minor problems that can be fixed on the weekend, but that's it. Save up some money just in case you blow a charger or loose the trans, but if everything holds together you'll have cash for the mods you will want.
