Default Is it worth it? '96 TA with 95k
I found a '96 TA with 95k miles on it. It's white with t-tops, automatic 4 speed, leather interior, very clean car inside and out. Everything is stock besides the flowmaster exhaust and a cold air intake (don't know the brand). It has American Racing 17x9s in the front and 17x11s in the rear. The car has a clear title and nothing is mechanically wrong with it. They are asking $5000 for it and I was wondering if the car is worth the asking price. If it is, I might just have a TA by this weekend !

seems like an "alright" deal. The only down fall IMO is the auto. But if you can talk him down to ~4ish. I say get it.
goodluck.
