E-Bay Ad
Just fartin' around on e-bay this AM. Looks like a very very nice deal, 62K miles on her. Reserve isn't met yet, but only has 4 hours left on it. Only bad side is that the seller is selling it for a friend who is in FL right now and the car is locked up in NJ. Sounds a little wierd but if it checks out... could be a deal!
I'm personally not too fond of the color, but I'm sure it looks better in person!

It's all about mileage and condition (originality of these cars and especially the turbo "S" spec cars '88/'89)

i don't think sport seats were standard...i don't have them - but LSD was i THINK. mine has it.
as for the prices - i might have overpaid a little bit for mine 4 years (nearly 5) ago...but i don't feel like it. $18k for an 89 with +/- 85k miles that had exactly the mods that i would have done to it had i found a stock one. it was turn-key. no messing around. in the color combo i wanted.....i have done only minor mods (iceshark lighting, test pipe, euro fogs, etc...)

I figured that it would sky rocket prior to closing. $15,500 is still a good deal, just not a killer deal which is what everybody wants ;-) This one has at least one mod (boost controller) if not more which will detract those willing to pay those high dollars that everybody thinks there car is worth. If this car hadn't been mod'd who knows how much more?
I think I started a bad trend of stealing these cars from the right buyer.
As those that have been around for a while will remember, I drove to Colorado and paid $14K and it had 64K miles on it, all original except C2 rims. Paint and interior are 9/10 if not better. The guy had 2 businesses that were not doing well and needed to dump it fast. I got lucky!!! It's an easy $18K(+) car as many will attest to from the photos of it that I've posted over the last 2.5 years of my ownership.

Being a CA car it should be in great shape and without years of east coast road slop. With those miles it will probably go for 16.8K. Looks solid.
