Im use to seeing the same old color.This one I thought was worth a look .Most of been a UT grad ,now resides in LA.

It really helps if you put up a link.

Anyone notice that the engine temp isn't all the way up and the oil pressure is a little less than 1.5 bar.....?

Could just be low idle speed.

It could be. It just seems to be on the low side becuase even with the recent heat the pressure would seem to be higher even at idle without being fully warmed up. Either way, ANYTHING sold in LA has caveat emptor chiseled into it.

The condition of the driver's seat surprises me with the low miles. Mine with 225K hasn't got one separated seam. Although, those short "10 mile" trips would mean more butt "entries" and "exits"!

yeah, THAT splains it .

Our 77 300d has about 75k on it with very good evidence that the mileage is accurate (bought from original owner) but the drivers seat has that typical lower left back rip that seems inevitable on these cars. It first appeared about a year ago. The seats are leather and our climate is very dry.
