| Re: Best Allante to buy? Just to point out one of many things that i could in this thread, in reguards to the N* vs. the 4.5, and the bose. first the bose is an easy fix and sounds real good when working, not like todays cars, but not bad at all for the time, i replaced all 4 amps in my car last year not too hard. and as far as i know all parts you need for the 4.5 are still around and readily avaible, dont forget they may still make northstars, but there a completly different engine today than they were in 93, also from what i know they can be semi prone to oil leaks. The 4.5 had been around for many years when the allante got it, and by that time it was a trouble free engine, as was said before if you want to go over 100mph consistently id say go for the N*, but otherwise i think the 92 and earliers are the better choice, esspescially is $$ is a consideration. Just a side note, the techs at my local dealer when i first was talking to them about my car were glad it had a 4.5, because if it ever had a problem as they said those engines are way simpler to work on. |
