Test Drove an 89 Turbo Today / Oil Pressure

batmmannn · 06-29-2010, 02:32 PM

You guys might be right, he had recently replaced the radiator, so maybe he has been trying to figure out the problem, but still it was a real sweet car. He wants $2500 for it. I don't currently have the money but if I did I would buy it because of the overall condition and fix whatever was wrong with it.

Still looking forward to finding a Hot Turbo to test drive to see if I want to move from my NA to a Turbo. I was driving down the highway this morning and my car DIED!

Just died deader than hell.

I pulled over all freaked out. Turned out the coil wire had fallen off. That plug just doesn't fit on there well. I was relieved and was back on the road in seconds.

yea it could also be clogged lines, but its hard to have a clogged inter cooler

really 2500$ and it wasnt even faster than an N/A...i would offer half that
really just search and really take your time...
be patient and your going to find a sweet deal with not a damned thing wrong...

Well the price tag she had on her car was $3800. She said she would take $2500 it's still sitting there. Doesn't look like they have taken it to a mechanic yet. The interior and body were near mint. I would take pics for you all but your not going to believe this.

My 7 year old daughter dropped a 50 cent ear ring down the seat of the car, I had a bottle of antifreeze behind the seat on the floor, yes the cap was on tight. My $700 digital camera was laying safely in the rear seat. While I am in the house she goes out to my car throws crap all over the place to get her earing ends up leaving the bottle of antifreeze upside down in my rear seat right next to my digital. I go out a few hours later the whole jug had leaked out onto my rear seat leaving my $700 digital camera in a pool of antifreeze in the middle of my rear seat! ARRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHH! My rear seat has been removed and cleaned and my camera is sealed in a bag of RICE hoping it will dry out. It does not WORK anymore!!!!

Yeah well it's still a nice car and the problems might be simple but I would have a head gasket test done if I was to buy it. The funny thing is that as I was test driving it and the Targa was pissing on my leg my friend was telling me that if the car had any leaks his wife would have told him about it, he looked at me and said it doesn't leak, I looked at him laughing then he said it doesn't leak to me again and this was while it was leaking on me. It was a funny moment. I turned to him laughing and said It's leaking on me right now. He replied again if it leaked my wife would have told me... It doesn't leak. haha
