I agree with Jeff, there's a couple things suspect here, this car has either been sitting in the rain or maybe even flooded (?) - where is it located ? If it's east coast, I'd be very suspicious.
What is the condition of the carpets and floors underneath ? Pull up the carpets and see if there's signs of rusting or pooled / standing water, don't buy it. Remember, a car that's flood damaged has gotten water (salt water) in EVERYWHERE. In the upholstery, in the engine, maybe even in the fuel lines. Does it smell "funny" ? Musty ? My 32 year old SC smells like a Porsche should :- )
135K is not excessive for an 88 IF the maintenance records show a top end job in the recent past. A nice 88 Carrera should be a stunner, and the white color wears extremely well - unlike the metallic. This car looks a little shaggy.
