Suggestion...

The milage and documentation (particularly the top-end rebuild) are a plus. From the pics, the exterior looks very clean.

But $21K is tip-top dollar for this car. if you expect to even try to get this money, some interior detailing would help.

The pedal box is dirty, and the pads worn. The bare speakers in the door panels are a problem. If these were factory (unlikely), they need factory covers, if not, the door panels need to be addressed. They are expensive, and no buyer in this price range is going to accept after-market holes cut into them... so you have a cost/benefit decision to make here.

I also see lots of typical oxidization on various parts... ignition switch, door handles, etc, and seat leather is showing wear and cracks.

None of this is a show-stopper... a complete detailing of the interior of these cars is mostly a matter of time, care and elbow grease, and maybe a few hundred dollars of car care products, and replacement parts.

I've done alot of interior work on my cars, and I can tell you, this is something most owners can do, with time and care, and I think will pay off big time in presentation to a potential buyer.

Some good advice there - but don't replace the pedal pads. A car being advertised with 89K miles with brand new pedal pads would be a red flag to me.

What if the pedal covers had 999 miles on 'em? WTF? Flag? Guess it could represent something.....would it be ok if you were to run across a seller who could do the following:?:?:?:?:::::

"""""""I'm glad I kept my old pads and logged WHEN they were changed out.....I always keep my removed stuff..........""""""""" That way one could assess the wear with evidence.....

BEST!

I believe that there was a time (pre carfax) that fresh pedals sometimes indicated a odometer rollback.

When I was a younger on of my friend's father was a dealer. We would go to the auction every week and drive cars back him. He taught me a lot.

Back in the day of odometer roll backs the sellers would forget to replace the pedal pads. Even on an automatic the wear on the bottom right corner of the brake pad was a dead give away.

Then the crooks got smarter and started replacing the pads which was still a dead give away to the trained eye.
