Oh, absolutely. I put another 1,000 miles on the 89 505 turbowagon
this week,(187,700).I bought this one 2 years ago with 137,000 a for
$2100, replaced the starter, fuel pump,(last week),exhaust,(elective
custom),front brakes, some front-end gear, etc. Drive it, and pay
attention, to stay ahead of the occasional problem. CC
