I just fixed a strange noise on this car the other day, so I've had the chance to take it out and enjoy it again...

This is my 88 XT. 5spd, pushbutton 4WD, nonturbo. Bought it off eBay in 2003 with 100k miles, and have resisted pouring miles on it to try to keep it a low-mileage car, now with only 109k miles.

The previous owner is in his mid-80's if he's still with us, and although the car was in Pennsylvania for 11 years of its life, it has almost NO rust on it. He also replaced the ENTIRE factory air suspension on it not long after he sold it, which I can assure you, cost more than what I bought the car for.

Anyway, here's some pics:

This was about a month after I bought it:

I put some alloy wheels on it about a year and a half ago:

This super-sexy picture was taken last October at an XT meet here in Orlando that I organized:

Here's the entire album: http://www.thawa.net/gallery/album46

I plan to make a day out of getting some really nice pictures of it next weekend, and I'll post those pics in that album.

Hope you like it.

XTs are pieces of engineering, all right. There's so much stuff that was originated with them :)

I like it. I've only seen other XTs in silver, the blue looks nice :)

I almost bought a XT6 myself. Someone else bought it before I was able to, it had the 2.7l engine. Quite a nice little car. :)

If you think XT back seats are bad, take a look at Mitsu 3000GT back seats ;)

Although it was raining all day, I still went out and took some more pics of the car. Have a look:
