Any specifics to look for on an ’89?

Post by jim paris »

Hello everyone, closing a deal on a well-cared for ’89 (#214) this week, any specific problems to look out for on this year?
Due for mechanical inspection tommorrow.
Many thanks —

Nothing specific to the 1989-1990 other than the usual "trouble" spots...
Generally speaking the initial quality control was higher on the 89s & 90s than it was on the 87s & 88s.
Sandy passed away in 2012. He will be forever missed.

1990 Final Car prior to the 12 Silver Anny Editions
1990 Silver Pearl Anny Edition
1986 Coupe Full Pkg #109 of 114.

Thanks Sandy—
Glad to hear it was a good quality year, but never owning one before, what would some of the "trouble" spots be?
Thanks again—

Jim
