I have been getting many PM's from individuals looking to sell cars with high miles, and outrageous mods. This is probably my fault for not being clear as to what I am looking for, so here it goes:
Must be an 87 Turbo T or GN
MUST have below 30K miles
The more stock, the better. MINOR mods OK, but I prefer stock or something that could easily (and by easily I mean readily avaialble parts) be converted back to stock.
NO STORIES - by this I mean, I want a clean car. No accidents, documentation is a huge bonus, don't mind if the car has been re painted as long as it is a quality paint job. I have looked at a few GN's that have or claim to have below 30K miles, but based on the condition of the car, I don't believe that to be accurate, even though the owner swears as to the accuracy
So far I have found multiple YES multiple GN's and a couple of T's that are within the price range I am looking to spend. I don't think I am going to have any issues finding the right car. I am currently negotiating on a car that has 22,000 miles, all stock (except for battery and tires), original paint, 9.5/10 interior (10 in my opinion is only a brand new car), no accidents, 2 owner car with documentation. Needless to say, I think I am going to buy this car as long as a couple of things check out. I won't say what the price is, but it is BELOW my ceiling of $18K. YES below $18K. This should not come as a surprise considering the state of affairs we are currently involved in. Plain and simple...THE ECONOMY SUCKS! There are some really great buys out there. I also had a lead on a Turbo T with 17K miles that sold for $14K. Solid car, no issues, I just wasn't quick enough.
I have found that posting on forums specific to the car you are looking for is not always the best place to look for a good price because everyone there thinks their car is worth mucho $$$$$$, but some good leads pop up from time to time and it is worth doing.
Thanks again to all who have taken the time to reply. I was going to purchase one, but now am considering purchasing 2. Ideally I would like 1 GN and 1 Turbo T, but I would be happy with any combination. Second car must have less than 20K miles and I am a bit more flexible on price, although not by much considering what is out there. :wink:
