Good luck with the sale and i can personally attest they are awesome Sunday highway cruiser even in today's modern world they bring so much joy Mine is also an 89 build (Euro 300hp version) and with the 89 builds comes the upgraded and more desired interior as in yours especially the seats and door trims. They are easy cars to work on and very reliable if maintained with usual servicing of fluids etc and if kept garaged out of the weather when not in use. Yours looks in prestine condition and a salute to you for keeping it well preserved and a family icon with lots of good memories (pity your selling actually but such is life)@BeFrank thank you, I stated the vehicle has been family owned since new. My dad drove it to and from work every day, which was about 5 miles round-trip and on the weekends we would go upstate. We did that for the first 15 years of having the vehicle, then, my dad only took it out for special occasions as he found it easier to drive around in my mom‘s Honda Civic .when he passed away, he left me the car and I have kept it in the garage ever since only using it on weekends and special occasionsVery nice car, obviously very well cared forTwo videos have been added to the listing.As for a driving video, a link will should be posted . I will contact MB marketThe vehicle has been in my family since new . The mileage is 90 % highway mileage. We would drive upstate on the weekends.Could you add a driving video, also what up with the mileage?$3,560 bid placed by @Dhaliwal
