You know, even though posted that this car has less than 20k miles actual,
I personally would beg to differ.. I know the engine compartment looks to be in good shape..
BUT, take a good look at the steering wheel... Yes very rough... so either they cleaned it with sand paper, or the car has some serious use...
To me this is one of the areas that are always a give away to some serious miles on the car..
I do not personally think a steering wheel can look that rough with only 19,000 some miles..
It's original. These steering wheels will do that just sitting there aging in the atmosphere. It does look like a car that sat more because of a lack of use than because the owner wanted to preserve it. Floor mats look like they show some wear which is a good sign of a true driver rather than a show queen. Tires are original and show about the right wear for 20K.
I think it was the lighting. Looks good though..Love a red SC!
Yes, it's nice at just under 20K miles and after 19 years of sitting you could bet most of the bushings, seals, hoses, etc.. needs replacement.
So makes me want to redo the 89.
Although I will say those seats are ugly. I have some in storage I didn't think that ugly. I think I will have to put them up for sale.
Nice car though.
Ya, sure. I'll be sure to go an replace all the leaky hoses and seals on my '89, 27,000 mile original. Seriously? Just because it has low miles does automatically mean that it is a leaker. Valve cover bolts are the most prone to loosening over time with abreviated heat cycles.
Like Dave said, the steering wheel is fine. The plastic merely oxidizes white where a person's hand rests on the wheel. It is easy to clean with a brush and some diluted Simple Green, then Meguires Interior detailer.
