'89 GTA TA for $2500

what do think of this deal? The car is straight and clean except the rear spoiler has rotted/split. The engine is 5.7 TPI/auto, 86k miles. The only significant probs are a busted steering column (attempted theft) and a broken rear hatch latch. What are these cars going for without any major problems?

I got mine for $2250 with a complete stereo system and sweet talking alarm, sounds like a good deal.If you get it be sure and go through everything doing a tuneup.

These guys have an exact fiberglass replacement for the heavy, rubber, crack proned wrap-around spoiler. It's expensive but less than half of a new GM (which is no longer made) and you won't have to worry about the cracking of paint. I'm getting one before I have my car painted.

If the cars in good condition then go for it.
