Those instrument cluster needles are pretty faded for such a low mileage car. I would expect a car of that age with such low miles to be parked in a garage often.

Well some fading is normal the car is over 20 years old.
But look at that oil pressure! Almost 3 bar at 175 degrees! I would like to drive that can just once and see what a new one felt like.

Any ideas on why the wheel wells are dirty in the engine compartment? Also look and the exhaust pipe in the engine.

This is a parked car thats all. Car under used can be just as bad as something driven daily.
We bought a 300 Turbo D, it was parked for couple of yrs. It leaked lots in the rear seal. Luckily drove her daily, as the leak has stopped now. The oil seal kind of swollen up again.

Wow, this is just like when someone posts a pic of their stunningly attractive GF or SO on an off-topic board I visit... many sit behind their keyboards picking her apart,
 though nearly any guy would love to be with her.  That is a beautiful 240D.
