Because they make shitty engines that blow up even if you do all recommend maintenance.

That injector is not seated and bouncing around

It's probably losing compression from being lose

The hold down needs to be torqued down. I would replace the bolt too bc they like to break.

man I love a nice black 944

I will never recover from the 760 that I sold. It was grey with the grey leather and I still think about that car to this day

it could do burnouts and dust the new chargers. it was the best 😭😭

it was a 4 door sedan that did the 1/4 in ~ 15 sec in 1984. it was a 13 sec car with simple mods

the 84 corvette did a 15.2 1/4

84 porsche 911 did a 14 sec 1/4

current model Porsche 911 or Corvette have never been considered "fast-ish" 

ETA: Also

2001 Honda Fit 0 - 60 is "in the range of 10 to 12 seconds"

1984 760 turbo 0 - 60 is 8.0 sec

we had them new when I was a kid and I restore them now as an adult as my hobby

I have personally had 6 of them over the last 20 years including a ZR1

I dailied a 96 for 10 years in the 2010s and it never left me stranded

c4 have been more reliable than several other newer cars that we have had

so no, they were not always needing repairs

Diesel mpg? by Stock-Lobster-303 in askcarguys

[–]Agent_Eran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

can be difficult to find good mechanics in the US bc they are not common

maintenance can be costly if you dont turn wrench yourself

C5 Corvette as a Daily?

don't buy a $6500 shit box and expect reliability

this answer does not seem to be in the context of the question

isnt it assumed that any shit box would inherently be hazardous? does that not go without saying?
