the car looks sweet from the pics.i'm not a fan of the rims,kinda small looking 16's?.i don't care for the way they mounted the gauges to the pilar.it kinda looks like a shadow grey dash with the light grey seats from the pic.i don't see it selling for less than $6000 with all the goodies on it.they already fixed the hg issue and it would probably be really dependable

That thing is friggin hot. I love the wheels, but if they were only 17's...
If you don't buy it, please make it known to the rest of us where it is and how much the guy wants for it.
One of us should be able to give it a good home...

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.:love: I, on the other hand, LOVE those rims. If you buy the car and don't like the rims...wanna sell them?:naughty:
I used to be into big rims but I soon realized that 18's just don't work out at the strip. Seriously. 16's if not 15's are best with some sticky tires. I LOVE the car, beautiful and seems to be in great condition. Not sure if you gave us the price or not because I was focused on the pictures, but I would pay $6,000 for it if I had the money! Buy it!:biglaugh:

with 86k, this car should be worth around 6,000-8,000 because it's fresh to death.

A friend of mine drove to florida from fargo to get one that nice. He payed 7900 (his is 91 leather and same miles). If you can buy that for less than 6k its a steal. Good luck and keep us posted!!!

I would say in that condition with those miles, anything under $8500 would be a good price. Be careful with those mods tho.........has the car been constantly beat on? With head gasket already done there's a good chance of it. Check it out, if it's in good shape, buy it and don't look back. If it has problems down the line fix em, it's half the fun. Don't worry about price, these cars are through dropping in value. Most of them are now in the hands of true enthusiast. I just turned down $8000 for my 90 with twice the miles.

I personally am not a fan of cloth seats, would rather have black paint and the rims I could live without but everything else is super mint.

If it's a good price and everything is clean (no rust, etc) then I'd definately pay a premium price for it (6-7k). If it were stock condition I'd pay a little more... I'd rather have an unmodified car.
