I had one of these but mine was a 1990.. dark grey with grey cloth interior.. top 3 fav car I've ever owned, I'd love to have another one.. I was the second owner, it belonged to an older neighbor of mine which he purchased brand new so I really saw how little he drove it.. he sold it to me for 500 bucks around 2006-07
Toronado's were always ahead of their time, nice review. That digital dash was straight out of Back To The Future a multitude of buttons, this example seems to have held up well.
I had an 86 Park Ave, giving to me by my parents as my first car, had 190k miles when they gave it to me they bought it new, I kept it til I got married and first child on the way at that time it had over 300k transmission problems but no engine problems what so ever
Next time you decide to remove and or replace the badging, heat the badge with a hairdryer. It’ll soften up the adhesive, allowing it to be easily removed/replaced. You’ll never have to worry about pulling up paint or leaving adhesive/residue.

G.M. should really get more credit for making the shrunk down low income models. Finally midgets could pay for a car with food stamps and drive a miniature luxury car. These were the best of times for sure.
While I'd rather have a later Trofeo for styling, FE3 and a little more guts underhood, this is a really clean car. Wonder what it went for - doubt it has collector value yet given the confirguration (does being yellow with wires help or hurt here, lol) 3k - pre-supply chain failure, maybe 5.5-6k now?
Beautiful car. So nice that tan interior rather than the usual 80s "Bordello Maroon." And don't crack on that incredible digital dash! I prefer it'e exacting figures over an imprecise needle gage any day. My 1989 Olds Cutlass Supreme FWD coupe had a blackout switch, similar to a Saab, which blacked out all interior lights besides just the digital speedo's actual number. It was a cool feature and I wonder if it can be done on this car. I guess no coincidence as GM had ownership of Saab during those years.
