I originally had this vehicle listed in Seattle, but the reserve was not met. I since drove it from Seattle to Las Vegas with no mechanical issues. The car cruised nicely and comfortably on cruise control at 75 mph the whole way down. Upon arriving in Las Vegas I had the oil changed and the new tires rotated. I have since taken two trip once to LA and the 2nd trip to San Diego in the car and have had no mechanical issues. Power windows, cruise control, interval wipers, adjustable seats are all in excellent working condition. AC was recently services and blows ice cold and the heater heats up the entire car in less than two minutes. All climate control features are in excellent working order. Original mats (front & back) have been covered for most of their lives and are in excellent condition. Spare tire and ALL the original chrome tools are included and are in trunk with the original jack. This vehicle was purchased new in Germany as part of the German Delivery Program (vehicle as the original badge on the front grill). Does not burn or drip any oil and transmission shifts smoothly. Vehicle as NOT been smoked in - ashtrays and lighter are unused. MINOR ISSUES - the power antenna works but sticks occasionaly, when I got to Las Vegas I oiled it and it is now functioning. The speedometer sometimes sticks on zero, but jumps up once you hit highway speeds. In Seattle I put on four brand NEW white wall tires (with approx. 2,000 miles on them) and installed a brand new full sized battery (with seven year AAA warranty). I have managed to accumulate most of the original manuals and books which I have all scanned copies of into my computer. The leather seats have no rips or tears and for the years are in good condition. The wood interior is not chip or blemished and the dash is in excellent condition with just three hairline cracks which are hardly noticable. Only thing required for the interior to be original is to replace the Sony cassette deck (which was installed by the owner in the 80s) with the Becker unit (I have not been able to locate one of the original Beckers in working order). Exterior is in amazing condition for being the original paint and chrome. The chrome as is not pitted. The paint is in good condition, it does have some minor scratches and parking lot dents, but these are barely noticable. Cetificate of title is clean and platet tags are current. Please call me with any questions - 702-666-7131 - vehicle is located in Las Vegas, NV.
