Well, I am back. Nobody came out at the dealership, which is just as well. How this car has only 80k miles I don't know. The seats looked FAR worse in person- how can leather get that messed up?

The foglights were both loose in their housings. The plastic and rubber outside was mostly falling apart. Some kind of metal sheild under the engine was bent down to the point where is was only about 2 inches off of the ground. The plastic housing of the left mirror was loose, there was trim hanging off or missing in places. Non-matching tires, evidence of some kind of oil leak. The good news was no evidence of resprays, but still... I just saw too much with the naked eye. I'd much rather get one from an enthusiast for $9k in immaculate shape with records.

The good news was that the interior looked huge in person. With the seats folded, you could put some serious cargo in there. So if I can find a good one, I'll drive it and maybe get it. Too bad this one gave me the heebeegeebees.

One other cool thing was the oil filter appeared to be right at the bottom of the engine, super easy to change. That's a nice change from the 951 I suppose.
