92 100

[Alex Kowalski]

I tend to agree; Kent and I seem to be on the same wavelength here.  Pools of water in the passenger footwell forebode lots of potentially expensive problems down the road.  

The first thing I did with my '87 after buying it was run it through an automated car wash -- the kind that uses high-pressure spray nozzles which circumnavigate the car in several wash/rinse cycles in lieu of brushes -- to check for leaks.   I was lucky - everything was tight as a drum and the only indication I had that I was in a car wash was was that the idle bumped up slightly during the direct frontal spray.  If you do decide to buy it (and negotiating the price down is good advice) you _*must*_ find and fix the source of the water ingress and inspect the electrics, especially the ECU.

Cheers,
Alex Kowalski
