This car is definately nice, but I'd be wary of the "over dressed" appearance. 10k is WAY too
much, let alone his ridiculous 22k "become this years biggest fool and buy it now" price, it's clean
but not 10-22k(!) perfect. The wheels have been re-painted (with what looks like $1.99 Wal-Mart bin paint)
the carpets look stained and faded (no floormats, BTW) and why are the wheel wells undercoated??
In 1984 they were body color OVER an undercoating, for that price this thing had better be FACTORY mint.
(Wait a minute, the vacuum setup looks more like an 83 than an 84...?)

There are lots of these lower mileage "grandma" cars around, the only difference is this
guy detailed the hell out of this car and added 15k to the pricetag.

Another thing to keep in mind, most of the suspension and other rubber parts deteriorate
moreso with age than with mileage...I bet most of the front-end is in need of attention, the
shocks are probably weak too. Definately a great example to start with, but once again not
at that price..

And the color combination looks weird, probably why it's so "rare". I'd much prefer
silver or silver-blue...or even that metallic greenish color (what is that called?).
The dark blue ("nautical" blue I believe?)/date combination also looks good.

(most of the above is only my opinion BTW )
