Welcome...

That's lots of miles and 27 years of age....so the first thing is how long has the current owner have the car? Lots of maintenance?

So pictures would others give there opinion....

If the cars has 200k on it...then somebody loved it a lot at some point in her life.

Is this a project/fun car or daily driver?

Mario, Welcome to the board. With 200K on the clock, anything and every thing is suspect. Have the owner drive it up to you and if it makes a 5 hour trip, then look at it. I would not pay much for it, if at all. It could take a lot of money to make it right.

Welcome! Like pete said, with that high of a mileage everything is suspect. Do some searching and reading around here for a few days, you will get to know a lot of the common problems that these cars have, and what the best solutions to said problems are. Also, if you are not gonna be doing all the work yourself, you are gonna need a fat wallet for your mechanic to feed from. No one wants to deal with the headache that these archaic cars can be anymore.

Well Mario

If u really want a 86TC....looks like a clean ride.
If a rebuild is ever needed...its pretty easy...compared to other cars.

I like the wheels!
