Wow, that's a steal!! Looks real solid. And as long as it runs good, who cares about the mileage! Is it 5 spd, or auto?

Rock solid. She's a Auto (i'm sad to say i can't drive a stick) not a speck of rust the only thing that it really needed was a muffer and a Glasspack fixed that lol

Well if you can learn how to drive a stick, that thing would be sweet with a 5spd dual range tranny!!! You drive your car to me and I'll swap it out for ya!! Yeah too far I know, but very nice ride!

I can never find good deals like that :)

Well that car has a turbo motor and different gearing. the turbos have 3.7 gearing. But if it's a 4WD it should still be a 5 spd dual range. Post pics of that one too!!

trust me the cam is already in the car, its a 4X4 5spd with 109K on it(i think)

no rust and only $1,000 the dealer that has it is going out of biz and its the last thing they had so i made an offer and i'm holdin the title right now.

Nice!! I'm jealous! I want one of your rust free cars!!!, we don't really have those up here in Maine! Can't wait to see pics!! Interior and under hood shots as well!! Also make sure to check the coolant on the turbo car, they have a tendency to eat head gaskets! They aren't as long lasting and reliable as the N/A motors like the one in your 89

i've heard that, well i'm told(air quotes) with all the seals and HG we're fixed before it was traded and it looked alright when i opened the hood and peeked inside but i'll check that in the morning,And you can find ruse free subies down here allday if you look in the right places my 89 was just sitting under a guys car port a few blocks down from me and all i did was ask the made him an offer (lost his DL from D.W.I) and BAAM! sitting in my driveway next to my caddy.

Good lookin out!! I'd love to come get one, but it's a long drive! You definitely got lucky!! Take care of them and they will do the same! I'm getting mine delivered on Saturday, I can't wait!! I posted a link about getting it in the old gen section. I'm gonna post pics when I get it!!

You mean Gen 3, but yes they are tough!!! But the motors in the Gen 2's like my Brat, are even better! No timing belts to break!
