Instrument cluster face?

Looks like mold on the inst cluster face?

I had a cluster face that looked like that.

My car had water damage??? I thought it came from that.

over time, they tend to look like that but no where near as bad.

Also the shift **** looks more worn than those miles would indicate.

Odometer mileage does not line up properly, or it might be my old eyes. All rubber bits need to be replaced. The climate down in so Fla. will do that plus the mold. Price is rather high.

I've never seen an instrument cluster face that looked like that... and I've seen some serious mold up here in the Pacific Northwest...

All I can ever think when I see super low-miles cars like this for tons of money is that I don't have anywhere near that much money into my car, including buying it, and I'd way rather have my car. Mine might have a bunch more miles on it, but it doesn't really show it much, and those miles mean that there's been maintenance.

Hell, at 17k miles, that car's not even due for it's first timing belt (by mileage)... does that mean it has a 25 year old timing belt on it?!??! Really low miles has always scared me away from a car... Makes me feel like everything is about to turn to dust

Bought a 200 Turbo in Boynton Beach. That car rode out Andrew inside the guys garage, but it got slight damage anyway...... a giant palm frond went whistling in thru the garage side window and nailed the passenger door right above the rocker panel. That was the only dent in it and easily PDR'd.

I would not be too afraid of any low mileage car from this part of the world....... there are some very well "optioned" players here. My Audi's previous owner lived on a channel of the intracoastal waterway and had a small yacht tied up behind his house. He was as straight of a shooter as one could find and the cars in this part of the world lead a very pampered existance. Even his garage was air conditioned. I think the dash in this one showing the 17,000 is maybe a camera illusion in a certain lighting environment. Just a hunch.

This guy with the white Turbo is asking very strong money...... nearly double what it should be at price wise. But it may well have a real good start at becoming a very strong Concours candidate the way it presents itself.

The pics are poor. The moisture damage is very odd. Maybe the car is a flood damage car that was let to dry out.

If that is mold,why wouldn't the entire face be covered with it?

Mold or salt crystals from dried sea water or salt air.....??

dillon410021

the cluster will do that over time. my '87 had that and other clusters I have seen have it just not as bad.

My cluster did that after I attempted to clean it up when I was replacing the odometer gear. Not nearly as bad as what's in that picture, though.

I had a 50k documented mile cluster look just like that. I think it is extreme sun damage or something.
