Post by: Jays88Bird on October 09, 2012, 11:04:47 AM

Hey everybody. I just joined this forum and thought I'd share a pic of my newly purchased '88 Turbo Coupe. I picked it up a week ago for only $800. It's a 5spd with almost every option except equalizer and sunroof and only has 88k miles on the clock. It was running rough when I bought it so I bought plugs and wires (PO installed new cap and rotor) and now she runs like a champ. The clutch does slip and I hope to get that replaced in the next couple of weeks. Here's a pic of her. I hope to get more pics by the weekend.

Looks like a nice car for the money. There used to be one identical to that running around here. It ended up getting trashed out eventually. Take care of it, you don't see many nice lower mileage TC's these days.

When you get tired of her as a daily driver, let me know.

I need to find a deal like that around here. Sweet looking car. My Sport was that color when I found her near death at the boneyard.

Thanks everyone. I will try and take some pics this weekend after I clean it up a bit. It's supposed to be nice in my area this weekend so I will try and get some good pics.

Seriously....$800 man good for you! In Michigan that would be twice that if no rust!...
