Default leather?

He says it is "full leather" If so, shouldn't there be stitching visible on the console and dash?

The usu nitpick, jump post cover missing.

I agree, no sign of stitching on the dash or pod - mine has stitching all around the edge of the pod face. Not sure about the doors..Certainly the horn push is NOT leather - can an air bag wheel have leather on the centre ?

Actually he said he is not a collector so much as an accumulator, b/c he bought a GTS and now needs to sell this. It also sounds like he is a dealer more than anything, the handle is "floridaleasing" unless the leasing refers to something other than cars. Two things stand out: it's the internet, and it's cars, so double reason to be careful.

I emailed him to the fact that I didn't think it was leather and he should change the text. This is his reply, which turns a negative into a positive (for him of course).

Hi Thanks for your interest in my 928. It appears as if this car does NOT
have a leather dash. Which is actually better as there are no cracks or
shrinkage, Best ADAM

-floridaleases

As to whether it is actually better, "I'll be the judge of that" Interesting to see if he changes the ad.

Yes, it is a nice example.

That's the rare "leatherette" interior.
