The one I had was a 1990 and was covered up its whole life, and I bought it from its original owner, with 124000 miles on it and a blown head gasket. But after having it for just a year, the plastic and paint went quickly, despite my efforts to take care of it (armor all and wax, plus some perma plate plastic protector I got from my work). The clear coat went bad on the hood, and the plastic handles got sunbaked and cracked very fast. I finally gave up on keeping it nice when I hit a deer with it, and the transmission began to go bad (It eventually broke, and that's why I don't still have it as a wheeler).
