Cheap 2.4 Stilo!

Anyone fancy a 2.4 Stilo in yellow?

eBay Stilo

Positives with this car, sunroof open fully, no warning lights on the dash, satnag and hands free working, negatives are it's selespeed, no documented/mention of history, clutch, belts etc.... and it's yellow

So is this the real reason why you once attempted to disguise a yellow by hiding it under a black cloak?

Arh...........

No not at all, yellow attracts flies which in turn makes them crap on it leaving black spots, bloody nightmare to keep clean, I've no personal problem with the colour, Vincy grey is of course the best, anything else is what floats your boat

Nooo sillyspeed

What's wrong with them? I am looking for a cheap car to thrash around a track occasionally.

It does mention the auxiliary belts have a squeak. Which means nothing to me. Sounds like something Scottie says on Star Trek when the engines can nay tek it Captain.

I think as a car they are ok, but the selespeed was notoriously unreliable or something.

I quite fancy a 2.4. Could always drop the engine into your NA coupe ! Joe did it and tuned ot to a tad over 200bhp...

Agreed very unreliable, slow changes. Samsite has had one on here. There quite cheap for a reason. If you can go for a manual.

Yep the gearbox was terrible and rough, a second or so delay before gear changes when driving it quickly, not much better cruising either. A friend of mind had one, pretty quick and sound nice but in the end he got rid of it.

Dont do it, the gearbox is about as enjoyable as falling down a set of steps.
its not a quick car for being 2.4, its kitted out well, but unless you like fault scanning every week id really avoid.

Suppose a manual one is better, but surely any 2.4 Stilo needs the same level of maintenance and investment as 2.0 Coupe? Think I know where I'd rather spend my £1000 a year!

Must admit though, I'd like to take a Schumacher version for a spin, in fact any one for a spin.

Maybe I will get an old MX5 instead. I fancy doing some track days and I don't want to thrash my beloved Coupe.
