Does anyone know if there is a >common problem to these models causing this shimmy? I drove one other 1989 before I bought mine. Both had a shimmy from warped brake rotors. (Only noticeable when braking.) Replacing the rotors and religiously using a torque wrench when replacing wheel lug nuts cured the problem. BTW I see quite a few ads for '89 - '90 factory convertibles in the $15,000 to $24,000 price range. (And that's just what they are asking, not actual sale prices.)
