Cefiro vs. Galant vs. Libero

SO carshopping today have narrowed down to 3 possibilities:
96 Cefiro 2.0 (5speed!)
96 Galant 1.8 (5speed)
97 Libero 1.8 (5 speed)

The Libero is 500 bucks more than the others... now I haven't had any mechanically checked yet, but before I do that, which would you tend towards?

cefiro for nissan reliability, galant cos it's a nicer car, libero if you're a retard.



if you do decide to be a retard, check out the insurance on a libero vs. the others before you commit.

yeah them nissans are pretty much bullet proof

Depends on what you're using the car for really, is it for just every day use or maybe something along the lines of a drift project?

Generally though I would be for the cefiro as well, cant go wrong there

cefiro = Rear wheel drive

nuff sed

a 96 cefiro is not RWD.

go the nissan, if you find a maxima for the same $ then go that, won engine of the year for awhile and will run forever if you take care of it.

you're thinking the VG30. however there is of course, fuck all difference.

only thing about the nissan is that i really don't like the interiors on the nz new maxima versions - feels cheap, in fact the interior of my car is nicer.

dad runs a 96 maxima, the only issues he had have been some minor electrical stuff which we narrowed down to the nz dealer fitted "alarm", and a warped front rotor which he hasn't bothered fixing for 5 years since this car is pretty much a runabout.

96 A32 Cefiro
Runs VQ20DE.
Check for Noisy timing chain and water hoses for leaks.
Quite rare to find a manual one too.
Dont fuck the box doing burnouts, will be next to impossible to find a 2nd hand one!.
Peace Out.

I work at a Nissan Wrecker...

GT Libero??? heh Yeah baby

Sincerely,
Jeeves

go the libero.. Solid as..

Is it the GT? Turbo?

Liberos seem way overpriced to me.

So what'd you get?

Don't think the GT liberos came in the 96 model, coz they are shaped off the 92-95 lancer shape?

I put some springs in a 1996 libero just last week so maybe they were last made in 96

get an '88 cef, rb20det sweet cars

Mo' mechanics dramas about fixability! Etc. So still nothing.

go with the cefiro!
or buy a skyline

then get an older one!

Hahaha, agreed!

The Libero was made up until 98 i beleive and retained the same shape (same as the 92 to 95 Lancer GSR) all the way through with minor changes. The 1996 libero GT onward however, took on the evo 1 front with the bigger front mount intercooler and evo 1 front bumper.
Engine wise the the GT libero has always had the 4G93T 1.8L turbo engine which was also the same as the Lancer GSR. With standard internals and bolt on modifications this engine is capable of putting the Libero down the quarter mile in 12.5 seconds and possibly quicker. Around 300 flywheel horsepower is obtainable without replacing engine internals which is pretty good from a factory standard 1.8L there's not much out there that can challenge that.

i got a Carina 97 1.8
I went boring. That and the Cefiro had an ugly clutch and gearbox, and the Galant just had something about it...

Toyota? will go forever dude, no probs

Is that a nissan primera carina??
Im sure thats what I test drove the other week.

DO you like it?

It's a Toyota Carina. You might be thinking of the Nissan Primera Camino?

i was thinking of the nissan primera siesta blanco....
it means "white sleep wagon"...

Ah yes you have written what I meant
