Nice one, are those Big Red calipers on S4 disks?

(no affiliation, just like 928s ;-)

Sure looks nice. I'm digging the white on white color combo. Have not seen that before.

What color is the dash, steering wheel, door cards, etc. On my laptop they look blue-ish.

Looks like Marine blue over linen.

I had a BMW M3 with that color combo. I liked it and everyone I knew loved it. Either that, or they didn't want to hurt my feelings!

To me, the dash etc look black as opposed to blue.

Someone needs to pull codes on that airbag fault- Greg always mentions the general unreliability of the airbag system in the '90 model. Improved in '91+, not sure what specificially got improved.

Pretty sure there's an airbag warning on the digidash- definitely a red warning message, and if you squint hard enough it looks like the airbag icon.

Damn Rob you don't miss a trick - very sharp eye.

Really good looking car though, I like it a lot.

Though reading the car fax it is unclear if the mileage is accurate or not. The steering wheel also appears to be a little too shiny/worn for 35k. What do you think ?

I emailed the seller last night as the ad incorrectly described the car as a GT. The initial response was "This is a mistake on ebays part". Uh, huh. However, I see that it's correctly described now.

Looks like a nice car. Any thoughts on what the wheels are?

I was curious about the mileage entries too. By "State agency" it seemed that a FL emissions facility was being referred to, but why would those numbers in the Autocheck "mileage" column have jumped back and forth so much?

While the car may be nice, the ad is terrible.

"If you are looking at this car and this add there is not much to say." Really?

The pics speak for themselves? They don't say much. Not enough of them and too small.

I agree. It's a ridiculous ad for anyone serious about selling at that price.

Nice looking car though, at least what can be seen of it in the small pictures.

A little surprising that the intake manifold and valve covers have already been refreshed.
Perhaps they were flaking due to age, and not mileage...
