I bought a non-running 87 2.3 for $500 that we quit trying to get running and are selling off for parts. I bought an 89 2.6 auto with 83k miles, dealer serviced for $2900 back in September and have only had to replace the soft tires the po had on it. About three years ago I picked up a 'pimped' 87 2.6 ( I think it was an 87) for $1200, with no issues other than removing the black out tint, neon, chain license plate frames and some other odds and ends in the interior. No stereotyping here, but we did go over the car and found it to be drug free. It was a good buy, kept it about a year and sold it for the same price. Definitely pay the $50 to $100 for a thorough PPI. David
