My only concern with buying a used 86 is how these cars are designed to be driven. The motor needs to be kept in the higher RPMs for any real spirited driving. The car just begs to be slid around. I've put 30,000 miles on mine and it has been flawless ... but would I think that I was going to keep the car forever. I don't think so. I admit it. I've driven my 86 hard, but that is what the car was designed to do. That is why I bought it. I drove it hard because I never intended to keep it a long time. Also ... I'm not some "young buck" as the OP originally was concerned with.
