Default Possible '89 5 speed FS on Ebay

I know this particular combo has some cult status around here, so here's a white/black 89 5 speed on ebay that looks nice, I have absolutely no affiliation. VIN is WP0JB0924KS860123, which sounds like that means it's a late '86, but pictures show a digital dash, from what I can see.

Photographers must cringe seeing ads like that, the pics are like a 'what not to do' list when shooting for an ad.
For an extra bonus, try to find the neighbor's car rollin' on 24s

Yep '89 5sp, K='89 (G='86)

With the tall shifter, oval exhaust tip and low vin # it certainly not a GT.

Guy needs to break out his vacuum too...

K in the VIN is 89 model year. Other visual confirmation is the roof-mounted antenna which started in '89.

123 is very early.. mine is #934 (RoW model) and left factory in early October.

Looking at the last picture, the hood looks out of alignment on the passenger side. The passenger side headlight looks higher than the driver's side. It may have been a nice find but not after the "audio and tint" boyz had at it.

I would expect that car is worth the price. Low miles, probably as well serviced as it needed to be. Would want to know about the HVAC controls, that's about it.

It's unfortunate that they didn't get the front end back on it straight before they sprayed it with "origianl" paint. Not quite sure what origianl means, but figure it has something to do with needing to be fully polished in order for it to shine.

Seriously, I would recommend a prospective buyer to take a very close look at the front end on that thing.

As door sticker says its one of the first digital dash US cars made in August 1988.



PS. Check name of the person asking very specific questions. How long it takes before this comes for sale again and seller is Low Miler?

Maybe that's where the stereo came from!
