Thanks for the info on the harness.. That's a real load off. For the moment, I'm hoping the PPI will just reveal no serious mechanical problems. I am prepared to put some money into it, I just don't want to have to double my initial investment in the first year. The car has low mileage (66XXX), though, and shows a lot of signs (though unfortunately the service records aren't complete) of being very well-maintained by its sole previous owner, so I have fairly high hopes. I'm also careful and put fairly low mileage on cars, so it isn't going to be put through the wringer or anything.

Oh yeah, and I did check the KBB when I first saw it. It's actually being sold at the exact KBB price it should be. At first I thought it was a bit high, until I noticed it had almost every possible option, even chrome wheels (which, according to the original retailer sticker which is in the owner's manual, even in 1991 was a $3400 option - ouch!).
