Heya, I'm looking at picking up an 89 GTU from a friend of mine who's sorta strapped for cash. I have a 94 Touring already, but I'd love to grab an FC too. It's got quite a few miles, 179k on original engine... He says it's been meticulously maintained since the day it was bought, and he says it runs strong with no smoke but obviously pending a compression test I don't have any idea what condition the motor's really in. He says recent repairs were new raditor, hoses, starter, wiper motors and assembly and water pump less than a year ago, and it's been in storage the majority of the past year (couldn't afford insurance). He's asking $1500 for it, which I think is a good price for that year, but that is a lot of miles... I've seen pics, interior and exterior are in very good shape, it's in Texas so no rust. What do you guys think?

BTW, if I choose not to buy it, he still needs to sell it... If any of you are interested, send me a PM and I'll get you his info.

VIN on the car is JM1FC3313K0702498, if any of you want to check the carfax... And maybe be nice and post it for me too!

Well, a well taken care of NA should run to more than 230k (IF it is well taken care of, not abused, etc) So I guess it depends on how it's running currently, any issues it currently has, and compression test. I would pick it up if I had the money, sounds like it's worth it pending on how well it runs
