Ijust got a GTX 1986 with 76k all original

Hey guys i just want to share waht happendto me lately. I sold my 91 vert recently due to a financial troubled time and even been souch a nice car, low mileage and nothing wrong and perfect condition, I decided to let it go, I really enjoyed the cruising with the top down and I think Mazda did really master engineered this car. it is one of thebest car I had (and I have had several cars so far). The only thing I did not like about the car is that it was automatic, you guys understand, right?. Then I found a nice GTUs, nice car but to racy for me and I sold it too. I was actually in the net and I found in Autotrader this nice car but when I talked to the guy over the phone it sounded to me like the typical tale of the car was owned by old lady to go and get groceries and the go to church. Well I took my chance and I went all the way down to West Palm area where the car was (I live in Daytona Beach) like 200 miles from here. When I saw the car, it was in great shape and had 76xxxk miles and yes it was owned for an old lady. All papers since day one including all oil changes, actually she ordered the car and with the optional leather interior. I bought the car and everything works, even the AAS system wich is very cool. I thought I will not like a hard top again after having such a nice vert but I telling you guys I am bonding with this car. Every time I drive it I enjoy more and more. Actually if one of you guys have the Carfax, please can you check the VIN for me, VIN: JM1FC3316G0158229. I just wanted to share this with you guys. I don't know yet what am I going to do with it yet, if updated or just drive it, it is an S4 and I'm used to S5s but any Idea is highly appreciated. One of my friend said leave it like that and just drive it.
You guys have a Happy Holidays

Sorry about the mistaque it is an GXL Yes, I know Old lady driving a GXL manual but I think when she bought it she was like early 50s and now she is like late 60s. But yes her name is every where in the paper since new. She actually lives in West Palm area and almost all the work and maintanence in the car was done by a dealer. I think she liked the idea of a 2 seater imported and cool car.

in Japan/Aus/NZ they only had TurboII FC's...

and within the Zenki (86-88) and Kouki (89-91) realms, they had GT-R's, and GT-X's. with GTX being the more "optioned" TurboII in these countries...maybe with sideskirts and better seats.

The car came out clean with the only problem being 1 failed emissions.

It would be cool if could have them here. I still don'y know if I'm going to mod this one or leave it like it is all stock and buy me a S5 which is what I'm used to but so far I just like very much and the AAS works cool
