Spent most of it's life in California, clean carfax, 71,000 miles...looks to be original based on the emissions testing from California. Complete re-paint in 2010...pretty nice job. A/C doesn't work. The interior is 8 out of 10. The dash is cracked on top, but that is not unusual.

All in all, I think I did well, only paid $3,550 and it checked out great from the inspection. The person who owned it died so I bought it from his wife, she didn't have much documentation from servicing.

They didn't have the Platinum LM8U color in 86 (check the pic of my ex 944 which was Platinum),your car look like a Zermatt Silver LY7U which is a color listed for 86.Both Platinum & Zermatt Silver were list under what we call special color.
