It says 36K miles on a 1986.

Dealer had it for sale Nov 2022.  
Sold it $23k

Tjen it was posted for $24k on consignment I assume by the current seller. 
 

Exterior was painted OR newer decals added.  That truly sucks in my opinion.   First year widebody 1986 was the only year with the small TSi fender stickers and TSI badging on the rear.   
 

Now it has 87-89 decals on a 36k mile car. 
 

If I was buying a 36k mile car, it better be 100% original.  That turns me off big time.

Thanks for posting.   Don't have any interest in purchasing but I was using the detailed photos to look close at the gaps in the front end panels (note my recent collision repair post).   It's very helpful to see what they were on what hopefully is an unmolested car.   Japanese cars have good build quality but did notice some deltas.  

I saw the decals too, and it does look like there is a bit more orange peel in the paint than what was typically seen in an original car.     Although there are scratches, etc. shown in the photos.   If it were repainted, it was a while ago.    Not sure, but the decals do raise the question.     Was there such a thing as a 'later 86 CQ' which had the newer decals?  I didn't see a photo of the door tag with the build date.

Obviously, the wheels were refurbished given the black insets, but I like how they kept the polished lip around the center cap.  

For the 86s, I actually really like the black starions that had the red interior (not sure if they had that combo with the conquests?)  I remember years back there was a post on here with an original owner selling his 86 starion in this color combo that had 15k original miles on it.  The story was that his son, I believe, took it out for a joyride and sideswiped a parked car, damaging the one side of the car.   He parked it in a barn for years, hoping to fix it, but offloaded it for like $1200.    I wanted that one bad but it was snagged up by another member quick.     I bet that thread still exists on here.

Looks like it also has a HKS cat-back exhaust system on it which is not mentioned.

Here are photos from 2022 where it had all original emblems….

And BAT is truly garbage for being able to give a full thorough description with every little detail that a buyer should know.  
 

Their listings are generic and follow a basic retarded guideline….and leave out so much information…..

I do remember that previous one...didn't realize it was the same.  Hmm, I wonder why the emblems were changed?     

Not fond of seeing cars being flipped to make a buck.

I asked why the emblems were changed in the BAT comments.  
 

The guy said he liked the decals better.   Which makes no sense on a 36k mile car. 
 

And he only had the hood painted. 
 

I think a previous owner had more paint work than that done.

Possibly, it looks like there is a bit more orange peel than what was original especially with how polished this car is.   The rear bumper looks how I'd expect it to. 

I agree though; if you are investing in such a low mile car, you want it all original.   Even the tinted windows and black wheel insets detract from the originality.
