Low miles. LB9/T5/G92. Neat color combo. The red interior isn't even faded.

Nice indeed. Not a fan of the red interior, but a 1990 T5 car will be worth a pretty penny someday; gotta love '90, old GFX with the newer dash. Best of both worlds IMO, but I'm biased.

Re: Now, here's a nice IROC.....
Its all personal taste puma. I said to myself looking at the pics I wish it was an 89 because it would have the round gauges and 3 spoke wheel.
BUT, its one of 295 in 1990 with that configuration. Since thats the case I could care less what the steering wheel looks like. Rare car indeed.

Looks good. I agree that 1989 is the sweet spot. Late enough to have all the good mechanicals, without the horrible air bag steering wheel.

I'm with you guys on the '89s. But, I wouldn't kick this one out of bed, either.

Hmm. @ $18,600... More than it was probably new.
Also... Are those 15" or 16" Wheels?

Wow I've never heard anyone say they preferred the airbag wheel... the air bag wheel looks like it belongs in a minivan, not a performance car.

Great Car!!! I love the White and Red combo and a 90 5-speed. Just when I think I have found my perfect thirdgen another one comes around the corner to surpise me.
