It's a matter of "the demons you know vs the demons you don't".

I have a maroon 88 GL I wouldn't let go for gold nuggets. I've been
through a lot with it. Had to rebuild the tranny not long after buying
it. the the engine blew. The AC tunnel crashed, the brake master failed,
the clutch master failed, had to replace all CV's, the AC compressor
bracket broke, speedo quit. Speedo cable died. There was an awful lot
that went wrong. The body and running gear were good, so I bit the
bullet, and fixed it all. Now, as I said, I wouldn't let it go for gold.

Regards,

John Rodgers
88 GL Driver
