Do these seats look like 49,000 miles to anyone else? Also, what is that round indentation on the left rear. Thought Euro third brake light missing initially, but aren't they all squarish looking?

The driver seat looks fairly heavily surface cracked. My 141K 89 has a driver seat that looks brand new compared to that. Still I have seen other low mile cars where everything looked new except the driver seat. Could be a 300 lb driver does more damage in 49K miles than 165 lb driver in 150K miles. The passenger seat looks good.

Plain silver centercaps with chromed wheels? Egad!

This is not a Euro, so I am not sure what's up with that round thing on the back bumper.

It almost looks trailer hitch height. Guess it might have been a backing error??

He added better pictures of the seats at the bottom of the listing. They look sweet. Wish I had them.

Isn't this the same dealer that had the "private" auction for the Sterosek a couple of weeks ago that apparantly sold to the "private" bidder. I'm told E&H does some creative bidding on thier own items. I noticed the red Sterosek in the backround still. hmmmm.......

Those are absolutely horrible pictures. They're so dark you can't see a damn thing about the paint, and with the bright lights and neon and glare all over the place I would be very suspicious that they did it intentionally to hide the car's condition, not to mention try to hide the giant round hole in the back that doesn't appear to belong there. If they have to blind you to make the car look good, then it must have serious issues.

Certainly, you can't tell a thing about the paint until you see it personally outside in the bright sun.

Like magic, all the cracks are gone from the drive seat! Hmmm...could have given it a wipe with Leatherique dye. That will hide all the cracks. In fact, cleaning, wiping with a little crack filler in the bad areas and then hitting the seats with Leatherique dye and conditioner is what I would do. It really can revive worn, cracked sets very easily. Anyway, there is a dramatic change in the photos. Could be lighting, but it looks like they cleaned and wiped them with dye.

I don't like the looks of it. Those seats look like the car was parked in Death Valley for 10 years.

Yes, dry seats. Would need a redye before conditioning. Also notice that the front spoiler is missing, and I would suppose the undertrays are gone as well. Nice looker.

Just saw the new seat pics. Wow! I'd like to meet his taylor! This guy would probably deal in person regarding repairs. Once sold- Look Out. Anyone seen it in person?

"Full leather option" Really? Where's the dash and console stitching?

Also, what's the deal with the partially bra'ed white car in the background?
