I'm not convinced the body has no rust. Look at the rust on the shifter stalk. If it looks like that on an "Arizona" car do you really think there's not more lurking elsewhere? I'm talking a bare metal respray in the original color. And a bunch of little things. You don't have to do it now. You can drive it for a decade before you do most of it. You can do it while driving and enjoying it. I'm also very skeptical that there's not a 1 in front of the mileage number unless they have a pile of date records. You might have engine and gearbox work on the horizon that you aren't counting on if you believe that mileage.
I love yellow cars. I'm just no smitten by this one. It's too bright and shiny. If it looks to good to be true? Yeah, I'm a skeptic.
