    Sold for $9,400 on 1/9/23
    Not a turbo coupe or V8 but seems like a decent deal.

    If that's truly the original milage (well, being a rust-free Michigan car, what else?) and the V-6 a Cologne, I would agree. The color's just right and the more it's driven, all the more money the new owner would save, when comparing putting these same miles on a new vehicle of which will eventually need repair and costly maintenance. Especially, when timing belts and board computers are involved

    I really liked my 85 Turbo Coupe with the 5-speed manual, but I don't know if I would enjoy driving the more average V6 powered automatic version nearly as much. But this is a very nice example of one. Nice Colors and condition. I glad it found a new home. Price seems on the reasonable side to me.

    Same power and drivetrain that is in my '85 LTD. Much like the brakes and suspension, they were adequate for 1985 I guess. Trying to keep up with highway traffic at today's speeds with that C5 really strains the car especially with the A/C on. The '88+ 3.8 V6 with MPFI was a much better engine especially when paired with an AOD.
