Looks clean, probably is, considering where it's from.
Factory 5-speed wagon for $1700. Enjoy.

Uh, was there supposed to be a link?
Link me!!
AARRRRGGGHHH, Sorry, sorry, my bad. Thought the link went through, but I didn't check the resulting post. HERE IT IS:
http://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/2122019899.html
Additional info, and bump, it's really clean looking: "2.3 L inline 4cyl engine, rare 5 speed manual transmission, am'fm radio, working heat, A/C, two sets of keys, roof racks, fold flat seats, power windows, and a very straight and rust free body. · This vehicle has had a good deal of recent maintenance including: timing belt, wiper motor,brakes, and tires and includes full service history for the last 10 years." Again, not mine, no relation. These come out of their garages every so often up here and don't last long.
Do want.
What makes these so sought after? Are they easy repair when they break? Is it RWD? I assume so,but have to ask.
RWD, they look cool, and turbobricks pretty much give you an automatic win at life.
i wish i could buy that right now

Thats not a turbo BTW.
The 5 speeds are rare though, most are 4 speed with O/D.

For the record, the true 5-speed (as opposed to 4+OD) came in in 1987. They were around until the demise of the 240 in 1993. By '87, though, 240s mostly sold to soccer moms, with slushboxes. So, yes, the true 5-speeds are rare.
Which is not to say they were good. Adding a 5th gear to the 4-speed wasn't done too well. The gear oil needs to be overfilled to get it to last. One must jack the left side of the car WAY in the air to get enough oil in that 'box.
This one has gone 235k miles, ssooo, I guess the owner or dealer knew that trick.
