ummm...

if that car was anywhere near me, I'd buy it. $9250 US....about $14, 500 CDN...yep, I'd get it.



I think that car is definately worth the money, all records, immaculate exterior, and it being stock actually increases value. hope you don't turn it into some show car packing four 20" subs, 19" bling wheels or something. lol~ of course you can do what you want.
have fun with it. sweet car you just got.

im sorry, but how many times do i have to hear stuff about auto seatbelts...they are not that annoying and they keep me from forgetting to put on my seatbelt, they hold me in my seat better, and they dont add weight like an airbag would...so what is the problem with auto seatbelts? the people who complain about them are 90percent s4 people who try to make the 86-88's seem like better cars and have nothing else to argue with.

NICE!!!

There are not many left in beautiful original condition and I hope some people keep them original so people can see them in 20 years at a car show just like you see a '70 Hemi 'Cuda or a 63 Corvette Stingray to name two.

I would make selective upgrades as parts wear out or keep it entirely Mazda.

Good luck!

$9250 isn't TOO bad for a car in that shape, but I remember looking at that in the Auto Trader for the first time a couple months back, thinking, MAN, this guy is No WAY would I pay that kind of money for one. Not stock anyway.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. I plan to keep it stock. Unlike my '87 TII, which had no P/S, ABS, SubZero system, ACV, cats, etc., this thing has absolutely NO room in the engine bay, I can't even SEE the turbo. Anyway....it runs perfect so I'll leave it alone until something breaks. His records show that he pretty much stuck to 1000 mile oil changes. The belts have been changed twice by the dealer, the gearbox and diff. oil have been change every 10,000 miles or so. There is not even a hint of an oil leak anywhere on the engine. I'll get some more pics. tomorrow. It does need tires. Anybody have any good suggestions. Need some that will keep it handling good AND last a decent amount of time (I'd like 40,000 mile warranty min.).

Todd

PS. More pics. to come tomorrow at:
