I would not buy and probably many other members of this website probably would not either but NEVER underestimate the buying power of an uninformed buyer. The main killer for me would be the blue interior.

I would rather a 96 over any of the earlier cars any day. ASR and 722.6 transmissions are repairable. In 5-7 years when the interior wiring starts to deteriorate as the engine wiring did because of the extra heat your going to have some expensive if not impossible repairs on your hands. If it costs $3500 in for an A/C evaporator I wonder what it would be to take the car apart and rewire the whole car? One has to wonder if the owners will spend the money or if there will be a lot of cheap used 140 parts in the future?
