Just looking for some dependable/objective 2cent contributions!!
I've got the low mile TTA and a low mile (19k) 88 Formula 350. I like both for different reasons - am mildly entertaining dishing off the Formula for a) a real clean 75-78 T/A or b) an 05-06 GTO with real low miles.
I'm not the BIGGEST fan of the last gen GTO but you can steal low mile ones right now around here for 18-20 from guys who put them in the garage to keep and want out of the payments.
Keep the Formula - Pro = it's just beginning to appreciate and it's pretty rare - many/most were thrashed. Con = to 99% of the population, they can't tell it apart from my TTA - while the drivetrain is different, the driving experience is also somewhta similar.
Sell and go with a second gen TA - Pro = what I dreamed of in high school. Con = they weren't put together all that well and they weren't real good performers either (they make the formula look like a rocket ship)
Sell and go with a GTO - Pro = get a new car for 60% of the price/it's a rocket/it's the opportunity to care for a classic Pontiac from new that we all dream of. Con = For 15 more years, only I'll appreciate it PLUS they'll probably get cheaper for 10 more years (but harder to find a low miler).
Thoughts/criticisms.....?
