As far as I know, it is not a turbo, has reasonable miles (I > think it has 136K), and was reportedly garaged for a while. I had a 1986 900 Turbo, and had over 160,000 miles on it before it met an unfortunate end in an accident. It had some reliability problems between about 80k and 100k miles -- for a while there I was spending an average of $100 per thousand miles to keep it running! -- but once it got past 100k it was basically trouble-free. My troubles were things like water pumps, alternator, ordinary things like that. I never had any trouble with the starter lockout, cylinder heads, etc. Gary
