not to be offensive, but ive bought running and driving TURBO 5sp MK3s, pre 89 (less desireable) for LESS than what you are asking. In the MK3 communities collective opinion (as in old school people like me and RTA), an 86.5 is the 2nd most useless mk3 and wont command a good price. 86.5 doesnt have the updated styling like the 89+, cannot be had in turbo model and extremely useless if its an auto. the only plus of your car is its a 5sp, non-ABS, hard top... but thats negated by its poor running condition. if a rod-knocking turbo targa 5sp car is 600, yours should only go for about $300-$400 IF the body is fairly straight with allowance for mediocre paint and interior quality. sorry... if you had an 89+ Turbo 5sp targa like mine or eli's or victors's, youd have a small gold mine...

qualifying an 86.5 under "its still an mk3 so its still money" ideal is like saying, a Lancer is still a lancer and just as good as an Evo7... get my drift?
