Caldina GTT

Postby steroidcontaskie » Tue Apr 09, 2013 6:07 pm

Hi guys, looks like getting a cheap reliable daily driver might be more expensive than I thought. Dam cars in good condition going for good money :-p

So anyway, might expand my budget and look at something a bit more expensive.

Anyone got experience with a GTT caldina, cira 1997 auto? Are they a good buy?

Cheers
Ed

Put: "Caldina and gtt", (no " though) into search, some good info covered in threads asking the same / similar question.

One of these two could be ok as a daily.

The 2nd one you could take a punt on - we all know these engines are reliable and one would assume the manifold would have failed by now.

Just get them checked out and haggle.
