Category: US Cars Forum

Hello So I’m a suitable noob about the US cars. I’ve already noticed that they consume incredibly much. Of course there are also diesel AMIs that you can afford then… But apart from consumption I want to ask you how the maintenance of the cars is? How expensive is that? If I compare a Mazda and a Mercedes now, it is quite clear that I can do complete service at the Mazda and with the Mercedes for the money at least an appointment chen can *g* How is that with the UC Cars… somehow they just look awesome and I like them more and more. Are the spare parts very expensive? Compare like a Mercedes or BMW parts?? e.g. the annual Pickerl… at some point you have to buy tires or change the brake discs. It is also clear to me who can afford such a car, must also expect that further costs will come to him.. But I would just like to know … how expensive (besides sprit) the conservation is… thx

Hi, I’ve been reading in the forum for quite a while now and “Hut ab” here there is really “Knower and lover” of US vehicles. I am also a lover, but a connoisseur? Well, I drive only one Chrysler Vision, 3.5l, 6 cylinders. Bj 95, before I had an S10, with 4.2 l displacement. At 160,000 km then unfortunately engine damage. Dealer offers obtained for an exchange engine, incl. installation approx. DM 9000. Was then simply too much for me, half a year before for the climate conversion had already scarcely D M 900 paid, Alone for a gear change I had to put DM 700, allegedly a screw was fixed, which then overturned. My problem is, I can do nothing alone, or lacks me techn. And with my Chrysler it now looks no different, repairs after repairs. 4 months ago to Chrysler after always noises came from the front side, they built in of course immediately 2 wheel layers, then the drive shaft was well welded, because the About 190,000 km on the hump had of course taken part in the same timing belts and tensioning rollers. Result 2900 EUR costs. I picked up the car and what do I notice, noise still there. Back, unfortunately already paid. Dnn had to the master of the assumption immediately what could be done. (some part also at the front costs incl. installation approx. 280 EUR). Well then one wonders if the other repairs would have been really necessary? Supposedly yes, only as he described the alleged condition, would it have I certainly can’t drive any more – drive shaft welded, etc.) I actually do write because, I have read several times, the parts for an ami would be cheap. I even asked in Holland (with an importer ) and I find the parts simply expensive, or then the workshop still. Anyway, the cars still get around my head and collar. I would like another ami, but then again a off-road car, but from the aspect of the costs, unimaginable. Must doc h also eat something:-) But maybe one of you has a tip, I don’t know the radio code anymore, Workshop has of course just disconnected the battery. How can I get to the codes ? Despite all the problems a solidarity greeting. Be envious when a bubbling 8 cylinder Ami stands next to me! Greeting Boris

…was at the weekend in South Tyrol on a US-Car meeting with my 79er Ford PickUp, converted to liquefied gas operation. I drove from Sterzing to Merano over the 2100 meter high Jaufenpass. Is actually only for Porsches and motorbikes. I was constantly driving in the 2nd gear, at every turn down into the first and again full throttle – and the 60 km long, the electric fan did not come to rest. Woe it came to one – mirror fold in and through. But my fat guy survived well. – on the way down he could cool down again. I travelled back and forth 560 km and consumed 145 liters of gas. That’s 26 liters on 100 km. I’m very satisfied with that. I actually expected about 30 liters. Fuel consumption is between 20 and 23 liters on 100 km. Certainly there is also more economical V8, but my drink is like a hole. Can everyone calculate themselves what you save with a gas price of 50 cents per litre. Oh yes, at the meeting with some Italian Chev y and Dodge Autogas V8 drivers spoke – there is no rarity. Also the V8 Blubbersound is fully preserved. Do you have any questions? Just get started….! Greetings Claus

Hi! I have to say, I don’t really know about US-cars. I want to get one…. have an offer here for an old Buick Skylark, 130,000 km, EZ: 81, TÜV until 04, my question: how vulnerable are the cars? do you think that I can drive with such a “right” one, or should he rather “stand around”? Do you think that I can drive with this for a few more years without staying constantly?? that’s already a vintage car, right? Do you know what the tax costs? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Has any experience with these headlight covers (from Lund etc.) that are plugged on and removed when used. Are they allowed in Germany or does the Mecker with the Pozilei? Bad ‘Bowtie’ Rider

hoi municipality !!!!!! I hope you don’t mind if I get off topic. I would be interested in how you ami fans have become, when you want such cars, which you own and which is your “dream – ami”. short to me: my first ami encounters I’ve met by tv. “bandit” with his TA. as a young one I almost shrugged out. after that came “knight rider” probably everyone of you knows. since my 2 dreams in childhood. once I own an ami, and a dog too ha ben…was then also long before I really had an ami. it was not a “real” but nevertheless a 91er firebird 3,1l. for that I got 2 dogs which also have a “ami” impact *gg* after I made acquaintance with some “hardcore youngs” *gg*, I quickly came to the taste of the old dinger. so it came to me that I got a carter, which for the least has no value, but for me exactly that is what I wanted. camaro and pontiac lie down to me z but always wanted something like a caprice or a cool “angular” old ́s. my absolute dreamcar, that everything mentioned above exceeds, you see in the appendix. I see the part regularly with us and on various meetings. but is in the upper limit that I can not reach *gg* so, hope I don’t bore you with this thread… lg

Hello I always wanted to put a Chevrolet Camaro with 300 cui or 350 cui or 5.0L and 5.7 machines. I got into the third generation of this car. Purchase costs would be up to 6000 euros for an RS, Iroc-Z or Z28. It should not be a convertible, Targa or normal coupe is a bash. As in the appendix. Insurance, fuel and possible repairs are covered, so I also have in mind. Only the justice leaves me in the unclear. Now my question If not, how much taxes per year do I have to expect? Does a 07er imply any restrictions against normal markings? Which exhaust emission standard do the 3rd Gen Camaros have? Maybe you can tell me what your Camaros consumptions are, and how fast they are in sprint and in final speed. One thing is certain, I want to drive Camaro I already thank you

Moin, I’m still thinking about whether I should get an old Benz (which is more suitable for everyday use and cheaper), or an old Ami (which is definitely more horny)… Both are definitely not possible (yet). (four cars and ten moppeds would be a little bit much with 20) Since I’ve been busy with the old Daimlers for the last few weeks, I know all the models now. And since I’m still not conclusive, I would like to inform myself about the Amis again. So, if an Ami, then a Chevy, because the replacement rope procurement is best there, as far as I have heard so far. Please explain to me which models there have been from Chevrolet from 60, to approx. 75. So that maybe the pen can finally decide, Greeting Dominik

Hello first! I’m a newcomer in the Chevy Scene. I got a Chevrolet Caprice Classic from 1980 on 20.09.03. Since there is still a lot of work on the good piece, I wanted to ask if anyone knows where I get spare parts for the interior (door covering, fittings, etc.) and for the body. So so far my first question to you. I hope you can help me. Greeting Chevy-Mischl

This is probably only happening to me….. I collected a parking bus in the amount of SFr.120.- (about 80Euro) a good month ago. Since I have a special agreement with my van, I put it for a good half hour in a place which is normally forbidden. already a note fluttered on it because of illegal parking. Of course I filed a complaint with the police. In response I came back there despite the special. not allowed to park. Since I hate these damn cops anyway I have from wut the buses with 95 ( ! ) deposit notes paid. Now the cops have indicated me because (the type of payment is not legal….) will then probably have to step in front of the judge on occasion…. this really only happens to me! 😉 Will therefore not have to inform you for 30 years to the prison what has come out.
