The car came to me as a favour at a very good price and so needed a few repairs.
The oil pressure sensor was leaking, I need new rear struts, and it's due for a tune up.
The tranny is good except it's finicky going into reverse sometimes.
The car is powerful. It will beat or keep up with anything in it's class. Beating a 240SX is a joke, and GTPs aren't any better even though they're 5 years newer.
Decent on gas if you're careful, but still a fast car.
Handling is good with the right tires.
Interior and factory system are awesome.
SHOs need a lot of work come 60k and up, to keep them from being a pile of junk. I have almost bought 2, the last one was a 91 and I had my load ready. It had 76k on the motor, original owner and everything, and the guy took it out for the last day and blew the motor, Yamaha made it decent till 60k miles.
180xxx miles and mine is still running strong. that's well over 60000 miles. so they are great cars till you make them break. this car will out run most cars with V8 motors. I have a 92 with a 5 speed and I can out run any stock 5.0 mustang. I've already out run 4 of them. if anyone gets a chance to buy one jump on it.
Wow, somebody took a car WAY PAST the 60,000 mile mark (up to 73,000 miles) and the engine broke SURPRISE SURPRISE. Right now you should now I am talking about the first comment someone made here.
That's why they call it a SERVICE INTERVAL. When the SERVICE INTERVAL comes you should do one of two things 1-take it in for service (timing belt, valve adjustment and water pump) or 2-park the car until you can afford to get it fixed. It should be noted that the v6 SHO is a non interference engine. That means if the timing belt breaks the valves will not hit the pistons.
It's ashamed that the clown that owned the car didn't have the good sense to follow these procedures. This is the reason so many new cars are sold every year, people do not WANT to follow service routines. They ruin their cars.
Say it with me people "I cannot drive my car 13,000 miles past a MAJOR SERVICE INTERVAL and expect not to BREAK IT!!!" Geez.
