You sure know your stuff. I like the power mirror on the passenger side in my 83. In my 82 I have to lean over which is quite cumbersome, but it's not a big deal to me.

The 85 model also had the trap oxidizer and that alone would discourage me from buying the car unless it was really pristine.

rg2098, I guess your credit union is going by the Blue Book values. The BB only covers cars up to 20 years old.
