I'm looking an 89 turbo convt. I had a look at this car and it is just beatiful. White with black top in very good cond. no scratches or rust that I saw. SPG rims but not the panelling. It has a woodgrain dash panel(around switches and stereo part) tan leather interior in perfect condition. the turbo was just rebuilt. There were speakers and courtesy lights mounted directly behind the doors facing the rear seats at an angle, is this stock? They looked great anyway. My only concern is the car is an automatic. How reliable are the auto trannies? Aside from the fact that you have less power and top end speed, are there any draw backs? How is it driving a convertible in the winter as this would be my only car. How easy is it to replace the auto with a 5 speed? There are just over 120K miles on it(an American car).
The asking price is somewhere in the range of 7500 to 8000 Canadian. Is this a fair price and should I buy to replace my aging 83 900 base 8v with about 300,000 km?
Please advise. TIA.
