Wow, that interior is amazing. Can't say I like those wheels though.

Looks pretty.

Thumbs down

He may be a liar. The pics do NOT tell the whole story.

The records, or their lack, may tell more.

For that money, the car has not only has to be perfect looking, but in PERFECT mechanical condition, and that means ALL rubber bits, in MINT condition, and a DOCUMENTED history of regulated light use, and TIME based fluid changes.

Anyone can detail a car nicely, but only books and records tell the truth.

And just for the record, look at the windshield and license plate sticker showing in the picures. The car HASN'T even been licensed for the road since 2006 or before.

It is impressive, the blue dash is not even cracked, nor the zebrano wood, but for the money, it needs to be PERFECT.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

Without books and records showing regular time based maintenance on a strict basis from brand new, this 24 year old car is NOT perfect at all.

For that price it HAS to be.

I found a 1985 blue on blue wagon (very similar to the one here) and it had 58,000 miles on it, documented, in excellent condition. Practically perfect - interior was just as nice. I sold it on ebay for $16,700. The prices are extraordinary, but there are buyers who'll pay top dollar for a low-mileage close-to-perfect example. Not me, however.

Very nice "looking" car. Nice to see. Thanks for the post.

But I'm with Jim, and have to agree with these two lines here:

I'm very concerned that it's not up to operating temp, and the oil pressure is that low. Mine will keep 3 bar of oil pressure longer than that. And, the antenna switch is stuck going up, yet the antenna is down.

The door panels look like they've been armor alled, and the drivers side map pocket is either really scratched, or the light caught it at a bad angle.

Looks awesome though
