be wary
Hi bjorn, I would be wary, if the cylinders are bad a rebuild with new pistons can cost as much as an 86 is worth. I just found out the hard way. and I agree that 9k is too much for an 86, california or not. my 86 that locked up is in the shop and I willl be thrilled to sell it after it comes out for a lot less than 9k.

Alright, looks like I'm gonna wait for another then. It's getting frustrating because there aren't a whole lot to choose from that are in decent working condition around here! JonM, I'll give you a call soon -- I finally got that all worked out. 160k miles has me a little worried, though.

Hey rhesus, I'll sell mine for a price. Shoot, everything I have can be bought if the price is right ;o)
PM me if you're interested. It's in great shape and I've dumped some good money into upgrades and new maintenance. Plus you could test drive her as you're not that far from me. I'm right next door to Willow Springs Raceway.
I'm looking at a possible 993TT purchase and would need to let my '89 go to offset the cost.
