I have this model, and it has been a good car. I'm retiring it at 255K miles. Aside from everything else on a 9000 turbo of that vintage, there are a couple of things peculiar to the CD. If it needs taillight assemblies, they are unique to the CD and harder to find. THe 89 CD came with the load-leveling shocks in the rear and are expensive to replace. IF you use regular shocks, the rear end drags on the tires with a small load. I have replaced them with regular shocks and used regular 9000T rear springs.
I used to think that the front turn signals were unique to the CD, but they are also used on 91 or 92 9000's.
Aside from that, the 89 was a good year.
