Found a 89 GTA 5sp, need some input
Hey all.
I am looking at a summer fun-car while I'm working at my client site, and stumbled upon a 89 GTA 5sp with 88k miles.. cleen enough to eat off of, in California.
I wanted to get some honest input.
He is asking 5k for it. I've driven it, and its in pretty good shape all around. The rear spoiler isn't even cracked, paint all looks new, no paint lines or marks. The interior is okay, rear seat looks like the top leather has warn off and the headliner needs to be replaced.
Anyway, is that too much for a 89 GTA 5sp?
Also, thoughts on a v6 5sp 98 camaro? which would you rather rock?

Past: 1982 Trans Am 5.7 700r4, 01 WS6 6sp with 350whp, 98 Neon turbo with 330whp
Current: SRT8 Dodge Magnum with a baby seat.

88k isnt a whole lot of miles at all, especially on an 89.
It sounds like what little work the car needs is all small stuff, so it shouldnt be hard to fix. If you like the car, and have the money for it, i say go for it.

I'd go with the GTA. I've always loved those cars.
