What things have gone wrong with the car?

This is my second Trofeo and like the first one it has been surprisingly reliable.

I now only have the 1988 Trofeo convertible. Only 8 were custom built.

It's no longer a daily driver and is in storage all winter. That's when some of the electrical glitches appear but go away once its driven for a few days. With the high level of complex electronics its remarkably trouble free. The GM 3800 engine is proven.

The only repair done so far was a pulley and tune up.

I have 5 cars and they have been the least expensive to operate.

General comments?

The Trofeo is unique by itself; being a convertible makes it that much more special. I love all the attention it gets.

The V6 is adequate, but a Cadillac V8 would make it a real thrill.

The interior is in showroom condition and the 10 way adjustable seats are very comfortable. Its elaborate electronics were ahead of its time. 148 buttons.

If you can find one in mint condition, get it!
