Re: '85 ur-q FS, $26.5k obo

["Dave Aukerman" <mhauk@ccsdana.net>]

Because we (U.S.)  never received the fabled beast.  We got stuck with the
WX? non-watercooled turbo and crappy electrical system.  Last year was the
85.  The problem in the US is the occasional moron that has a driving
rebuild trying to get $8k and up.  

Talked to a guy 30minutes away that two years ago was trying to sell his 83
for ~12k, this summer the word was that it was ~8k. A series of emails were
exchanged with his story of how great the car was. blah, blah.  Saw it at a
repair shop the same week, stopped,  snooped around and found the seats
were badly torn, the dash had more cracks than the local highway, missing
rear "wing" every knob/slider in dash was missing, wheels three shades of
color and exhaust hanging near ground.
