Default Cleanest 3.6 Turbo on the planet?!?

Super low miles but asking some serious scratch for it.

It's not at original ride height so its been "worked on", nonetheless a very nice example. Sloan had a much lower mileage black car for sale in the high 70s about 6 months ago that was previously offerd by Bentley Long Island - so the price expectations are a little optimistic here.

certainly been lowered, but thats a great looking car. I still think its better to buy a car thats been driven more(only 800 miles per year), but as a collector car it look nice for sure.

Very nice car, tires look aggressive.

Not to nitpick, however, if they say "PERFECT" than I feel compelled to note that the carpet on the drivers side looks a bit worn and maybe even dirty. In addition, the radio is not original. It's tough to tell from the pictures, however, it made me feel good about my car's condition. The mileage is very low and if accurate and assuming it hasn't been smacked, that car should pull very good money from a collector, however, $91K is bit optimistic.

One should be very weary of old(er) cars with extremely low miles. Chances are that most of the few miles on the odometer were accumulated at the start of this car’s life. During the subsequent decade of low use the gaskets dried out and gas turned into jelly. I am, of course, speculating but this car might need work as a result of –ironically- a lack of use. Looks great nonetheless.

Nice car but "Cleanest 3.6 Turbo on the planet" I don't think so. Mine is much cleaner.

He should get well above $60k for the low mileage but the car is very basic without even Supple Leather seats. I hope he gets his asking price but I am sure he won't although it wouldn't hurt us if he did.

Something to be said for Low-res photos - they just don't cut it any more.

The window sticker on this cars shows a $3,569 charge for all leather seats. Visually what are the differences between standard, supple, and all leathers seats on a 94?

That is a surprise to me. The car does not show to have a leather interior other than the stock seats.

If the dash and other components were leather there would be obvious stitching along the edges.

Supple leather or draped leather is a softer leather that is more loosely fitted. The seats in the picture show to be the factory standard leather. This is obvious by the small holes on the seat surface. The supple or soft leather does not have these holes. Here is the picture of the car in the ad and a picture of my seats. You can see the difference.

If the original window sticker says this then there is a discrepancy somewhere. Either the interior has been changed or the sticker is either not for this car or a fake. IMO

I agree, there seem to be some inconsistencies that don't jell with the ad and mileage

The cleanest 3.6 on the planet that has never been worked on has faded dial rings, dirty carpets, seats that don't seem to belong in the car, H&R springs, spacers, and an aluminum shifter and e-brake not on the window sticker

It looks great though.
