well i dont know a whole lot about manual transmissions or transmissions at all... a five speed is plenty for now... also i need help, i think the alternator is bad in it or something cuz the car just died 3 times on the way home cuz after a fast jump it started right up... i think it might need a fuel filter as well because the previouse owner left one in the trunk...

well i guess i got a fairly good deal.

i bought my 85 tc for $375. i traded that for the 91 sho (the guy was asking $2000 for it). i sold the sho for $2000, drove to ohio and paid $1500 for the 87 tc. by the time i paid for gas and all, it came out to be $1700. so technically, i only paid $75 for my current 88.
