Forgot about this. Found it awhile ago. It's a picture from an ebay Germany ad for some brake rotors. We have much prettier women here in the U.S.

Hard to tell from photos and not in person but it looks really clean and straight! Maybe a few dings and paint chips but overall good condition! How's the interior? Everything works, mechanical and electrical? If you have issues (Likely you will sooner or later) then you have found a great resource here.

Gaw,

Body is clean, a couple of dents behind the front wheels like someone had driven over a tall curb or something - but not major. Plenty of little rock chips. Interior is immaculate. Leaks a little bit of oil. A bit of uneven front tire wear (inside on passenger side). My main concern right now is that the idle is way high (1400 cold, 2000 warm) and I don't know if I have more belt whine than I should... Any thoughts? I started a thread, but it is waiting moderator approval.

Thanks!

I just lost my post (I had linked a youtube video in it... which I guess requires approval?)

Very clean, interior is immaculate, a few rock chips, a couple of little dents behind the front wheels from where something (a curb, maybe?) was driven over and contacted the bottom edge of the body, but it is quite minor. Rubber is all good. Glass is all good. Leaks a little bit of oil, some uneven inside tire wear (front passenger side), and the idle runs at about 1400rpm cold and 2000rpm warm, and I don't know if I have more than normal belt whine or not at this point...

My youtube user name is dicemansr77 and I just posted a video of my idle and belt whine. If you have a moment! Thanks again.

Belt whine when starting the car? There should be none. And that idle is crazy high. Should be 900 + or - 50.
