This is a very rate Car aparently only 40 of them were made and sold in the USA, Can someone please help me ?

Q: Which a 2002 Maserati Coupe, a 1998 Porsche 911(993) Cabriolet, or an Alfa Romeo 164 SEDAN.?
Which one do you think is the nicest. Also take into cosideration insurence, safety, reliably, looks, the one thats the most eye catching or head turning. I am looking in buying one. as my first car so WHICH.

A: absolutely no comparison 993 rules for a air cooled 911, taken care of they are bullet proof, will appreciate and are infinitely upgradeable but realize you will not be able to work on much of this car yourself & good porsche mechanics start at $80 per/hr. buy a expensive one and have someone VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE check it out completly you probably would be better with a 996

Q: is it possible to ad a radiator to a porsche 1998 911 [993] turbo?
i want to know if the engine is fit to hold radiator and air cooling is not enough even with oil in kuwait a radiator is extremly important ican only use it in winter without a radiator this porsche was my first car so please tell me idont have to change the engine

A: The air cooled porsches will be JUST FINE in extreme temperatures, as long as you are not just stopped in traffic for long periods of time. And NO you cant just add a radiator. The block has no place for the water cooling lines to run, nor a place for a water pump. 993 turbos are just fine in places like arizona, where it gets 115* F on a regular basis. The cars are designed for racing. They face hotter, more extreme conditions on the track than you will even in the hottest of climates driving normally.

Q: What oil is recommended for my mitsubishi L200 1998 and my porsche 911 sse 1987?

Q: is a classic porsche 911 turbo a good buy?
ok honestly i have saved money and wanted to buy a porsche. i have only though 35000. with that i wanted to buy a porsche 911 turbo but teh older model i mean the one before 1998 one. but i dont know which model is the best for the price. i really like the classic ones as they show more character over the new ones that show a lot of money. but what year of teh turbo is the best. its ok if a certain year is more expensive as ill put a few more bucks in it. anotehr suggestion was to buy a 1980's porsche carrera. what do u guys think but i really want a calssic looking porsche.

A: Few things to address here... first off, if you are considering an 80s Carrera or a Turbo, you are really considering two very different cars. A lot of similarities given they share so many parts, but the differences are big and will probably be the defining factor in which route you go. The Turbo is more! More everything. More power, more brakes, more upkeep cost, etc. It's a legendary car. Even by 911 standards, it's a brutal car. It's less practical than a normally aspirated 911 due to the fact that the turbo adds heat and stress to the systems of the car... but if it's the Turbo you want, it's likely nothing else will satisfy (and compared to other similar cars of the era, it is more practical than most). The Carrera is a car that offers a lot of performance in a package that even 20+ years on is still good for daily driving. It's a car that will perform well at track events (often better than the Turbo in this area due to less heat, but will lack the all out power and better brakes of the Turbo cars). A great car, and the 3.2L versions still stand out as offering good levels of performance even by current standards. And if looks are the major concern (those 930 flares do look amazing), keep in mind that many Carreras were ordered with the Turbo Look option, that had all of the same features as the similar year Turbo (brakes, suspension, larger wheels etc) as the Turbo - excepting only the engine itself, and the titanium ended tie rods. If you're looking at a Turbo, for $35k, you are really looking at a range that would run from the original Turbo Carrera of 1976, to the 930, and through the later Turbo Carrera of the 80s (all pretty much the same car, with the exception that the earliest version had no inter-cooler). You may find one of the early 3.3L 965s in this price range (the 965 being the 90-94 Turbo that was originally produced with the same 3.3L engine as the earlier car, and then upgraded to a 3.6L later), but these cars usually run in the low $40k range and one selling for that little could easily wind up costing much much more. The 965 is a good car, if you want a turbo, it might be worth considering adding budget if you can to get one of these cars... but even with that said, the real sweet spot for these cars would be the 1978-1979 930s. These have the inter-coolers and other upgrades lacking from the original turbos, but they still have the original 917 derived brakes (cut from later versions for cost reasons). And they were the last of the "real" 930s (with most of the 1979 cars coming with certificates that stated such), making them more prized with many collectors. The later Turbo Carreras are very similar (nearly identical) to the 930s, and are good buys if the price is right (though, I would avoid the 1989 car as the G50 based 5 speed transmission is not as good as the 930 used in all the earlier Turbos). The earliest of the Turbos lack the inter-cooler, but may be more collectible as first of the breed in coming years (but collectibility is really the only plus to consider these over any other Turbo). Any Turbo after the early 965 would be well outside of the stated price range. As for the Carreras... the 80s 3.2L car is a great car, and will be quite a bit less (a good example could easily be half your budget, and an excellent one not that much more). As such, your shopping range would also include most 964 models (an RS America being the exception as they tend to run outside your price range)... and an early 993 might even show up on budget (though most will probably be just slightly north). Early 996 examples though typically run less than the earlier 993s, and there should be many available in this price range (though clearly outside of the older, classic cars at this point). If you are aiming for the older 911 looks, then the two best to consider would probably be a '79 930 on the turbo side, or a 3.2L Carrera for the non-turbo (I'd avoid the 1984 as the first part of this year had some non standard parts in the ECU... the 1987 and later is generally considered more desirable here due to the change in transmission, though personally I quite like the earlier, pre-87 915 transmissions).

Q: what car would you buy?
if you had a choice between a 1977 PORSCHE 911 S or a 1998 BMW z3, which one would you choose i would love a s2000 but they are just out of my price range, and same with most nicer bmw's. and the new s2000 dosnt rev to 9000, it only goes to 7600(i think) the 2003 was the one that reved that high

A: neither, porsce is really old..1977.....if it was 87 onwards. a z3 BMW...???...Why...have a look at the inside of a e36 compact and a e30 Bmw..they are the same inside!!! Bmw are lazy, I love them for driving like mad.. I'm sorry, Porsche is really great, lovely, but you'll look like Mick Jaggers unsucessful brother in a 70's Porsche!!! BMW, may be the way to go, have you looked outside the box?? Hvae a look at the rest of the BMW range. Or, instead of a z3, try the Honda s2000, it revs to 9000RPM!!! thats a gr8 car!!!

Q: how much is this worth?
i have a scale model of a porsche 911 GT1 from the Le Mans (1998) how much is it worth Please NOTE it is a real scale model you can open up the doors and take of the bonnet the engine is exactly the real thing but OBVIOSLY Doesent work!! Please answer in euros, dollars or pounds!!! this is a pic with the bonnet on http://www.fk.urban.ne.jp/home/keny/MYROOM/43-CIRCUIT/98-911GT.jpg and the doors up and bonnet of http://www.idcow.net/idcow/products/mst2115_007.jpg this is a pic with the bonnet on http://www.fk.urban.ne.jp/home/keny/MYROOM/43-CIRCUIT/98-911GT.jpg and the doors up and bonnet of http://www.idcow.net/idcow/products/mst2115_007.jpg this is a pic with the bonnet on http://www.fk.urban.ne.jp/home/keny/MYROOM/43-CIRCUIT/98-911GT.jpg and the doors up and bonnet of http://www.idcow.net/idcow/products/mst2115_007.jpg PLEASE look at the pictures and VERY FEW were made

A: You are way out of my league, it is obviously something special, I had a model of it's fore bearer the 917 with the spare tire in front along with a Ferrari 512s that got turned into toys by some nephew or another. I still have a 1931 Packard 840 Dual Cowl Phaeton all metal with working parts and a flip-up cowl that I turned down $400 dollars for it. Now maybe 2 fools met, but I've had the car a long time and didn't need the money and I can't replace it.

Q: Exotic cars around $30k?
I am looking around for a new car and was hoping for some suggestions on cars that I may be overlooking. The amount I am wanting to spend varies on the car but I have an upper limit of $40k but would like to stay between the $30k's or $35's. I don't want a car to "modify" or "restore". I already have a car that fits that need. This has to be an exotic or simi-exotic car not seen every day and is suited for a daily driver (less than 40 miles a day). Some of the cars I have thought about are: 99-01 Porsche 911 non-turbo 96-98 Porsche 911 non-turbo Lotus Elise Toyota Supra Acura NSX Lexus SC430 1998 Aston Martin DB7 1994-1998 Dodge Viper Any other suggestions would be appreciated Thanks

A: BMW M3 2004 * Had a '02 330ci before upgrading to the '04 M3. The 330ci was awesome but the M3 is hands down the best car for your money. If you are looking for an ultra high performance luxury car, look no further. There is no other car on the market that can compare when it comes to the price/performance ratio - factor in BMW reputation, quality, and service and you've got yourself the ultimate driving machine.(copied from Scott from Portland, OR) The M3 is truly a gem. For $30k you can pick up a used M3 that outperforms sports cars costing more than twice as much. No other car in the history of sports cars has received as much praise than the M3, and for good reason. The M3 gives you the best of everything in the sports car category. No other sports car will give you the performance, quality, safety and understated styling that the M3 can. (copied from James)

Q: Whats a good Luxury car to buy?
I am looking to buy a pre owned luxury car. I have three choices. 2000 Jagaur XK8 1993 Porsche 911 1998 BMW 7 series I am picking these cars because they are in my price range, I have found some for even cheaper. SO don't do one of two things.. 1. Give suggestions of any others cars, especially more expensive ones. 2. start talking about gas prices and tell me I should get a hybrid or some crappy japanese car, I don't mind paying for gas.

A: none of the above. porsche is too old the jag is repair shops dream come true. BMW old & overpriced. you don't need a more expensive one you need a more reliable one.

Q: I am considering buy a PORSCHE 993?
Considering buying a 1995-1998 Porsche 911 993 carrera cabriolet(still have not desided if I want to get plain 993, a S, a 4, a 4S) Want Red interior, silver exterior, automatic transmission, Black cabriolet top, and i would install a 4 point bolt rollcage . My Question is would this car be atractive, SAFE, beautiful, realible, good gas comsuption like anything between 15-30 mpg to me is good, low insurance, low theft( yes i would use a encoded key, the disable steering thing, warning stickers that the car is protected), would the car last for atleast 4 years with only driving 4 miles a day and 20 miles on the weekends also parked in a garge with a protection covering, waxed every 6 months, cleaned every week, detailed every 2 months, Fuilds replaced when recommended by Porsche, always taken to services and tune ups, brake replace every 4-6months, routers every year, alignment every year. Also i would only use the 91 octane gas.

A: The 993 is a great car and it certainly is attractive. With the right care, it's also reliable and can get decent gas mileage, if you don't drive like a maniac. You will not get low insurance, at least not compared to a Toyota, Ford or other model. Why do you want to install a roll cage? You will have to be careful to get a cage that can fit with the convertible top and still allows access to the space behind the seats -- sounds like more trouble than it's worth. My preference would be for the C4 or C4S, as these all-wheel drive models handle superbly. However, they are also more complex and generally take more maintenance. They do far better in the winter than the standard two-wheel drive model, however.
