Default finally bought another turbocoupe

a guy on a local website listed this car for $500, i talked him down to $375 and drove it home. it's an 85 tunderbird turbocoupe with 70,000 miles. it's in super nice condition, and it's apparently pretty rare considering it's got the factory power moonroof option. let me know what you guys think.







the quality sucks, all i had was my cell phone. the one of the front seats and dash didn't come out well because of lighting. but they're in great shape.
