First impression says that's a damn nice car for 15,900.

Someone better jump on that one, looks good!! LSD, low mileage, looks like the seller was taking some pretty good pics to show whats up with the car.

Isn't that building in the background where they filmed that Chuck Norris Movie "Sidekicks" in the background??!! Ok, I admit it, I watched that movie!

I could look at it this weekend.....if I'm down that way.

probably won't be able to tell you much more than what you see in the ad, though.....

I'm kind of surprised that the lister posted a photo of the original owners name & address on the auction.
I can understand that they want to show that it is a one-owner car, but I'm not sure I would want everyone to see that if I was the original owner.

I googled the phone numbers and they are still listed as valid for the name in the photo. So if anyone is seriously thinking of purchasing this car it might be worth trying to contact him about it.

Looking closely at the engine bay you can see the cheap paint job on the intake. There are no maintanance records. This could be well polished cosmetically to hide faults. As usual get a good PPI and see if there are any records attached with the car.

I am kind of surprised this one hasn't been brought up.

His reserve is in the 'high teens'. If I didn't already have a red one I'd be looking hard at it.

Hmm.....it looks "clean" but it does NOT have any type of holes to mount a front plate....thats kinda odd, maybe its a replacement bumper.....also the repaint on the intake looks crappy.....the other thing that bugs me is the offset color carpets.....that is NOT the correct color......I would guess it was changed at some point since an "X" series option is not listed??

What do you mean, Iceman? Is there some sort of x code that relates to carpet color? Is there a problem with black vs cashmere carpet? I thought it would be no big deal to pick either when ordering the car.
I don't know on the front plate either. My car does not have any holes for mounting a front license plate. Does that just have to do with individual state regulations requiring it in 1987?

I just looked at the pics again.... noticed the rear quarters are warped and yeah, the intake looks a little suspect.
