Just want to see what you guys think about this opportunity I have. I can purchase a 1989 Turbo T/A with 47k miles on it. It is equipped with t-tops and has cloth interior. It had a transmission replaced as owner claims it would not go into gear. It needs front bumper painted due to a couple scuffs, rear spoiler has usual cracks and it needs a mid-pipe on the exhaust. Buy price is $12,000. Is that a good deal? Everything else is original and in very nice shape. No body work, decals in place. No window sticker. The decal for options is missing but it is a v-6 turbo and decodes that way.
According to Kelly blue book that car in excellent condition is worth $19,000-20,000 retail value, so 12's not a bad price.
Personally, I wouldn't do it, special edition or not it's still a 17 year old car that has probably seen better days.
If nothing else, take the car for a good long test drive and let your mechanic look at it before you plunk down that kind of money.
If everything else is operating as it should be, that's a decent price on the TTA. The mileage is a bit on the high side, but the cloth interior is a bit more rare. Mine has 1,200 miles on it ... So that's always the first thing I considered, probably to the point of being a bit biased.
