 I bought it "new" in 1988 (previously owned a 1987 NA) and have become addicted ever since. It's rarely driven anymore (too worried about all the SUVs and Minivans on the road) except to various "track" events in Eastern Canada and the US. I've resisted the temptation of turning it into a
dedicated "Trailer Queen" and still have the full Power/Luxury Package (leather, PW & PL) as well as AC intact. Nevertheless, it is extensively tweaked & modified
