I do think it's a nice car, but it's SO not worth $3000

You can say that again. I had an 88, and it was a blast to own. I'd still have it today, but I called myself helping out a friend, and sold it really cheap. The m!@#$%^&* kept it
5 months, and sold it. :disgust:

No, I'm not buying the car! I'm being a little sarcastic here. I like the way it looks condition-wise, being 13 years old and all, and when I was 16 this is the car I wanted. I wanted it because it WAS something a 16 yr old could have, not some unobtainable Bimmer or Porsche.

Interesting carfax Ornery!

Hmmm, actually this is not so bad.

He buys the car in Michigan in 1989, lives and drives there 12 years, moves to CA, car fails the tough Cal emissions, he does some work (removes the goods?), car passes smog, gets CA title. I think he really IS the original owner of 13 years.
