87-88 5-speed TC wanted

Im trying to find a rather nice 87-88 TC. Im not looking for mint, or low milage, just maybe a 7 out of 10 maybe.

Im trying to find a nice driver. It has to be a 5-speed. Need something that isnt too cosmetically challanged, decent amount of options, and has a decent interior.

My ideal is white or silver, with a red interior. Other colors will suffice if the price is nice enough.

Another thing is, i want one within maybe 3 hours of me, im right in the center of maryland for the most part.

I found an '87 on autotrader.com. It's black w/5 speed and 111K miles in Hanover Pa. It's about 65 Miles from you. Hanover Toyota.

I actually have an '87 and an '88 turbo coupe for sale. The '88 has red leather interior also, but it is black, not white or silver. Cosmetically, it needs a new coat of paint and has a few chips on the nose but is otherwise top-notch, no dents, dings, or boo-boos. It is LOADED TO THE MAX! It's an awesome daily driver. Here is some info I just posted on another site:

I have a 1988 Thunderbird TurboCoupe, good condition.

-137k original miles. Engine runs great and is in excellent condition.

-5 speed manual transmission, shifts great.

-Black with red leather interior, leather is in fair condition except for the driver seat back and a small repairable tear/crack on rear driver side seat (have pics).

-All new brake lines. Some rear brake noise due to new rear pads needed. I actually have the pads already, just have not changed them. Those come with the car, of course.

-Turbo is in excellent condition, no problems.

-Some body rust (mostly on hood, small spots) and needs a new coat of paint as the original black paint is pretty faded.

-Passenger door needs a new handle but will open from inside (have pic). I have the original handle, probably can be reassembled.

Fully loaded. Original am/fm stereo/cassette deck with premium sound system and equalizer. Power windows, power door locks, power seats, power antenna, sunroof, keyless entry.

This is a really great car, not too much of a looker from the outside because it needs new paint but otherwise in very good condition, runs like a dream! Hard to find this car, especially running and in such good shape! No major problems at all.

Asking for $1000. I am in the Cleveland area, in Ohio, but I would be willing to discuss making delivery arrangements to Maryland if you are really interested.

e-mail pxiebttrcup@yahoo.com I have many many pics, here are a few:

Also, if you want to know a little more about the '87 let me know. It is very similar, but the paint is much better and it has black upholstery interior that is in fair condition. It's sun-faded and looks navy blue in places and has a tear in the back driver side seat. Doesn't have the sunroof, and it does not have the original TC front grill. My boyfriend's dad sold it to someone who wrecked his and put a non-turbo grill and gray front quarter panels on it. That one has about 150k. They are almost identical otherwise. I'd also like to get $1000 from that one. Very fair pricing for either car. Please let me know if you are interested!
