My favorite is the '88 still the simple LH 2.2 injection, no rotting wiring, carry a spare fuel and OD relay and you will never be stuck without plenty of warning. Sadly as others have said, the '88 did not come as a 242, does it have the TV tube headlights or 4 sealed beams. Also low mileage is not always good, rubber gets old from sitting and oil develops acids in it if not changed every 6 months or so. In fact I think you should let me look at this car before you buy it, just let me make a quick stop at my bank. . . .
