    how many miles? i know these are gettin' up in age, but id be careful with the huffer and the mileage... not to point out the obvious, but id be very careful when looking for oil leaks.

    passed on it... 110k miles, abs light on, shows no oil pressure, drivers window doesnt work, brakes felt horrible, shifted at 4k rpms and didnt feel like it was boosting up a whole lot... paint flaking around the cladding, rear gate and bumper dented pretty good, rust above the rear glass on the body.... very poor condition... wanted 5k ... told him it was worth about 3k to me in its present shape... said the guy wouldnt sell it that cheap and he would have it shipped to NC if it didnt sell....

    all black, leather seats were in suprisingly decent shape, center console lid was all busted off the hinges/latch area, fuel gauge jumped around under wot. definately wasnt pulling real strong. ac compressor was making noise, alot of chassis rust, front tires dryrotted, wheels in pretty poor shape... the shop supposidly inspected it the last few times and said he only was putting like 300 miles on it between inspections

    Man, I have seen better ones go for cheaper. My uncle has the sea foam green one and I think he wants to sell it. Its really rare. But, the original motor is not in it. It was a theft recovery and was stripped. Still has all the undercarrage though. Body as I remember was real nice too. Been in a garage for the last 10 years. I think the turbo was lifted too. But its a GM and everything goes wrong with them anyways.

    it seems like the market really hurt the sy/ty segment... you can get really nice looking ty's with all kinds of upgrades with the same miles as the one i looked at for 7-8 grand.
