in terms of unreliability, the block is almost bulletproof. I have yet to see a rod sticking out of one, though i have seen cracked blocks. Reliability stems from the fact that they are 1.approx 20 years old, 2.almost all of them were mistreated in their lifetime, 3.unavailability of parts (except for generic block related items like water pumps, alternators etc) and 4.poorly designed t/b injection. Keep these things in good nick and they will last a long while. However almost all starions have been "modded" to some extent, not all done proplerly (im guilty of this) and plus i only know about 2 people that specialise in starions.

Leather interior was an option. I have cloth seats. Lucky, because all the leather seats are now hard as a rock or cracked from the harsh ozzy sun.

A proper Z (with EFI and mod cons) or MA61 would be above the 6k mark. The only other car i can think of is a TA65 turbo, which i missed out on when i was car hunting.

cheers

tom.
