Perhaps. I'm looking at an 88 GL wagon in Greenlake I spotted on craigslist this morning. My Taurus finally got fixed (drove it for 4 months stuck in 2nd gear, 5spd) for the uberlow price of 20$ and 2 six packs by Clary's automotive, only to now have a customer of mine point out that two weeks ago I didn't have brake lights. After replacing the bulbs and shorting the stoplamp switch with a paperclip, still no brake lights.
and syphon hasn't mentioned selling his.
