    I am thinking about an Allante for my daily driver. Anyone here have any personal experience with these cars or know someone who does? Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks

    What year Allante? I had one last spring...... first one I had and the last one too. Very expensive to work on, even if you are doing the work. The stereo system is nice......unless something goes wrong with it. If anything goes wrong with just about anything on them.....it's usually a $500 bill at least.
    Just don't dent the aluminumm hood either.....they do not make them....and used ones go for $4500 .......:jd:

    Not a good "daily driver" type of car.

    if you are going to buy one, buy 93 and newer, has the better motor, but is twice the price. there is an allante website........you should see the prices for parts......outofsite!!!!

    Just a related tidbit. There are NO aftermarket gaskets made for the NorthStar. Only GM

    My friend used to have one. The removeable hard top costs a fortune in and of itself.
