Its just a car. Its cheap. I can drive it for six months, spend some time
cleaning it and getting it really nice, then turn around and sell it for $1000
more than I paid for it.

That's what Snook used to say. Not dependable, unlike the engine it replaced.
IIRC, 1993 was the first year it was produced in greater than Allante quantity.
BTW, those $700 front struts now wholesale for $770 each.

I was torn about what to do. I really liked the 5, but the 7 is a great car and
fits me. So, I thought I would just see which sold first. Now, the plan is to
sell them both and find a Mercedes (or BMW)!
