It's ready to get in and drive!Makes a fanatically fun daily driver, or start taking it to car shows and work on the minor stuff as you go!
It's a dependable classic car, but like anything, age will bring about a few minor issues. It's a really nice car, but of course I want to be up front about any attention it needs. It is a 27 year old vehicle, it isn't perfect, but a beautiful driver.
Issues/ annoyances:
Minor dings.One golf ball hit.Paint is gorgeous, clear coat imperfections on front bumper only is visible up close.Turn signals work fine, but the indicator does not light up on the dash.
Does occasionally leak a small amount of oil. (Some oil change place overtightened the drain plug.) I always keep an eye on it. I only use full synthetic.
Bose Radio only picks up static. For now, I use a Bluetooth rechargeable speaker that lasts many hours on a charge.
Passenger power seat may need a motor on right side. Most functions work, it will not slide forward or backward easily.
Horn does not honk. May be a fuse or relay. I will try to work on this.
Error Codes:ABS light comes on after driving. Stops fine. Ticking from rear left caliper when going over bumps.
"Cooling Fan Fault" sometimes appears on the screen. It does not get hot while driving. One of the electric fans may need looked at.
Passenger door power lock is slow.
Overall, it is a beautiful car, ready to drive, but as with any classic, it will have a few annoyances that can be resolved over a few weekends. I just haven't had time.

I forgot to mention, I am a member of the national Allante Club. They schedule car shows and road trips. They are a fun and knowledgeable bunch, well worth the $40/year membership. They also have accessories and neat memorabilia that they sell.
I have a set of floor mats I believe are original, I have put them in the large trunk to keep them in great shape for car shows. The vinyl mats that are in the car now do a great job.

I also added a few more photos with the hardtop on. I'm still debating whether I like the look of the hardtop or no top better!
