Would people please stop posting links to 156 GTA wagons, pretty pretty pretty please
I have wanted one for far too long, and i am now in the position to require a more capacious vehicle than the vx, and the running costs scare me, but i still want, no, need one at some point, but now is not the time (aparently..)

I have no idea on the reputation of these things....I've just always thought they looked awesome and are pretty rapid by all accounts.
You'd have to haggle hard to bag it in budget....but you never know!

I am go smacked that they are this cheap! Those rotary engines must be terrible when the miles stack up. Is this the only reason for the cheapness, the engine about to let go?Yip, 4 seats, leather, xenons, bose and wankel, all for the price of a Tuscan's service!!
Lots of good ideas on this thread. A particular fan of the TVR, M3, Corrado, 944, MR2, ITR, MX5, GTV & RX7FD suggestions. All great cars.
High miles, but £3500. I owned one of these before I bought my TVR. 9000rpm Banzai-wagon.

Apparently the life expectancy of one of those engines is around 100k, prices seem to drop off a cliff for anything with over 70k on the clock. That, and the mid-teens fuel economy means that they're just not what people want right now. It's a lot of car for the money though.Flat_Steve said:

My one had done 108k and was still fine, even low milers are cheap cheap but it gets less mpg than my 400bhp Tuscan! brakes said:

As far as I know:The only 'problem' with Rotary engines was that they eat their rotor tips after about 100k miles or sooner if you don't keep an eye on the oil (they like oil too)
Its not difficult to get the tips replaced it's just a pain in the arse stripping the entire engine out of the car on a regular basis... so it doesn't get done, they loose compression and then get flogged off as cheap 'spares or repairs'

Want. Always preferred the saloons to the coupes as well, I'd never get insured on it though
Great idea for a thread by the way, hope that this develops because it's right up my street

A little out of thread budget, but has had an engine rebuild with some upgraded internals.
