Michael,

I don't know if you could say I know what I am doing. I am just brave (or stupid) enough to give them a going over. I have one that I am happy with, I am still battling the passenger side. See you at the end of the month.

CVT4ME :cheers:

I drive mine when weather permits - and maybe not every day,
but often as i can - over 100k miles, orig. motor as far as i know.
It has quirks and does get hot - but the ride itself is worth it. I admit
I enjoy the looks as well. Don't see a lot of C3's around here.

Agreed with a couple of comments on the C4's. When I saw the C4 for the first time it was in a advertisement...I was still in high school at the time and thought the damn thing was the NEW FIRBIRD! I do disagree with getting an early C4 though...C4 was a Totally different chassis/body configuration and from what I've heard GM spent the following 3 years post the 84 debute working out all the bugs from the 84 C4. Just my .02 cents...good luck and hope you find what you are looking for. Joe..peace <*)))><
