I know that ****sche made some significant changes to the dashboard/
driver's controls in the 85-1/2 model, and people seem to prefer
those to the earlier style. I don't know what other differences you
might see between the 83 and the 86. You'd want to study up on that
and give both cars a spin, since the much lower mileage on the 83
is certainly tempting. As is the fact that that owner has records.
The timing belt needs to be replaced every 30,000 miles.
FWIW, I have an 86 turbo (951) that has 105,000 miles on it, and
it hasn't needed much fixup.
The ideal situation would be if you could wait for an 86 or
later to come on the market that has better records.
