I'm looking to buy a fun summer car?

Question

I need a car for when I'm home on summer vacation. I found an 87 maserati biturbo for $1500, I've heard alot of mixed things...are they as bad as jag's to keep running? please dont say i should buy a cheapo honda or toyota I dont want one

Answer 1

Stay away from the Maserati. Labor and parts--assuming you can find them--will be very, very expensive. You can buy any number of perfectly good fun cars for $1,500, or a little more--I'd suggest a Japanese or American car, or maybe a VW.

Answer 3

the Maserati Biturbo is one of the Worst Cars of All Time

The Biturbo was the product of a desperate, under-funded company circling the drain of bankruptcy.

Everything that could leak, burn, snap or rupture did.

The collected service advisories would have a few less pages than War and Peace.

mis-set carburetor float levels caused the engines to stumble during left turns, pickup wires in the distributors cracked from the heat, water ran through cylinder sleeves, fluids leaked from faulty seals throughout the drive train, fuse boxes melted, and coolant temperature warning lights came on even when engines weren't over-heating. Clutches, timing-belt tensioners and water pumps had to be redesigned early on.
