Re: Drive an Allante or Keep it Low Mileage?

You'll find that most of the Allante Gurus say these cars NEED to be driven.. my 88, although not a daily driver, is driven alot a few times a week usually and it has just under 200k on it ( engine and tranny rebuild right around 170) and everything works perfect and it looks damn good IMHO... (Ok, one of my visors does droop and requires the chip clip to keep up, and the turn signal chime works intermittenly, to me that's a good thing because I think it sounds annoying) but othrwise everything works. Most folks in the know seem to think the value is gonna stay pretty low on these cars for the next several years, so you should buy it cause you always wanted one and drive while you can.
