'89 TA Phoenix Edition? I'm sure thats BS...but get this...

I'm hoping I can get the car for $200...

I assume there is no such thing as a "Phoneix Edition", run-of-the-mill-looking '89 TA built in Canada, eh??? No, I don't expect to hear this is a "rare bird." I know better...but here's the deal..

'89 Trans Am 305 TPI AT
-T-tops, power everything (mirrors inop)
-160k
-Straight body, just a little rust peeking up from under the gfx on the RF fender
-Dirty inside, but its all there...and some of it can be cleaned up...
-Overheats as every other TPI in the world I know does, needs a few minor things here and there...

But it drives ok, rattles and clunks like a you-know-what, but for $200? I'm selling this kid an '00 Z24 on our lot, and because this car has $0 ACV, I figured I'd offer him $200 for it, because we'll see him the Z24 for the same price with or without the trade. And the best part? Its medium grey metallic And anyone who knows me on this board well enough knows that alone is reason enough for me to want this car....I miss my RS

Not bad, eh?

i'd give him $200 for it.....

might be worthless to the dealer, but there's someone out there who would pay $200 for a running tpi car....

especially if everything is there.

So it has a 2 instead of a 1 for the first digit?

A TPI 1989 Trans Am you say...power etc... I paid $8600 for mine with the ASC convert option, and it's only a Formula 350!

You can't go wrong at $200 for that, no question!
