Pity I just left the city. I could have looked at it close up last night...

I Especially like the three speed manual tranny. That must increase the value.

...including random, irrelevant CSL content. They look like real enthusiasts that way.

I have a true 5 speed - no reverse - that would be the perfect upgrade from a 3 speed manual.

Not to mention the mandatory 3 pictures of the back seat - none of the fronts!

no pics of front seats

There are no pics of the front seats because in the AD it states the front leather needs to be replaced. It also states that a $2000 credit will be given towards new seats. How gracious! New front leather is 2k without new pads and the install. It will also not match the rear seats. Maybe it's just me but I would expect cars for 30k plus to not need any interior restoration.

Shorty, it's not you. Yes, how generous. A downpayment on a new leather interior.

... Maybe it's just me but I would expect cars for 30k plus to not need any interior restoration.

i completely agree - 30k and it needs an interior ??? everything else ought to be perfect for that price. after you add $5k+ for a leather interior ... it has to be worth the value you have in the car.

just my 2 cents ...

You guys are being silly....old cars need refreshing from time to time. Perhaps the owner was too busy driving and enjoying the car to make the leather perfect?

The value of the car is in the body and paint, leather is just a detail. Besides, the front seats don't look that bad.

If he wants to sell the car to an informed enthusiast, he should post the shots that count. Hoist shots, shots under the dash, shots up the inner fender, close ups of the shock tower area, door bottoms. Can't see anything with that shiny Black paint. Close up of the wood would be useful too. If a car is from Cali, prove it with the shots that make California cars premium cars. (Not sure Bay area is a selling point)
