New daily driver

I just picked up this 88 LX Monday. As far as I know, it's fully loaded. I can't think of an option it doesn't have as of yet. I haven't dug too far into it.

The car is bone stock, and was kinda sorta a single owner. Husband and wife bought the car, daily drove it until last year, which from then it sat until they gave it to their grandson. He never drove it, trailer'd it home, and then sold it to me.

Anyways, don't mind the picture quality, I can't figure this camera out for overcast.

















All of the photos are exactly how I bought it. I haven't washed it, cleaned it out, tuned it up, or anything.

Also, there is less rust on this car than any of my others.
It's Gumby's fault.

AFIK, no fact alarm after '86, the LX didn't have a leather or floor shifter option...

The car does have a moonroof.

Also, I'm not sure if the LX got aluminum wheels either. I can tell you all about Turbo Coupe options, but not LX options.
It's Gumby's fault.
