Re: may buy 85 900t- questions Posted by Justin VanAbrahams [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: may buy 85 900t- questions, gomi_otaku, Wed, 7 Feb 2001 22:31:06 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My only piece of advice here is to thoroughly check every bit of exposed wiring in the car. '85s suffer from congenitally defective wire insulation which almost certainly will crack and fall apart. Once it starts, you can't really stop it and replacing an entire wiring harness is costly and time consuming...
Besides that, the '85s are good cars. No major mechanical things to watch out for... just standard stuff like weak trannies and poorly cared for turbos. Many believe the '85s are the fastest 16v 900s, and I'm inclined to believe that, having owned two.
All that said, I think $1k may be a little high for a "junked" car with an unknown history and rust. You might wanna keep looking....
