The '89 had a fully documented $20K respray and a $16k mechanical refresh of recent vintage. Unless I missed something the '88 did not appear to have the same level of documentation, plus the front end had been resprayed which one can see that the level of prep on the front end was only ok...in the end presentation plays a heavy part on BAT. The wheels on the '89, plus the steering wheel and the seats lose points but there is little chance the '88's seats are original after 150,000 miles, albeit far better done.
Anyway these guys definitely know how to offer a car for sale, the 912 on BAT is theirs too and it is a beauty.
