I still can't believe it's for sale after half a million miles. It seems like it'd be like offering up your left arm for sale!

I'd love to see the maintenance records for this car . . .

Holy crap! How do you put that many miles on a car? 60 mile one way trip to and from work 5 days a week for 16 years?

The headlight assemblies look like those of an 84-86 Carrera with that extra lip at the front. I can't believe the paint looks that good after 498K. Why would he sell it a thousand miles after having the "refreshening"?

You would think anything with that many miles and original paint would be sandblasted on the front. I can't imagine that there aren't some 'stories' with that kind of usage.

Wonder how many layers of paint that front bumper has?

Tail lights old and crusty on the edges, mine are getting there. Has H4's, brake vents and Pia lights on the front. Not as stock as the guy describes it but in very nice shape for the miles.
