I paid 3750$ for a 88 9000T and it so fucking increadible...I love it...It is in great shape and runs like a champ for 177k...no rust, interior like new..engine screams (who dosnt love a turbo)..comfort and style..i think 88 is the best year for the 9000...I had few costly repairs but it comes with the milage...200$ alternator..125$ rim...a soon to be 300$ fuel pump..however i think everything is worth it..i will still continue to put all my money and time into my car beciase it is worth it..Great cars..
