Normally I'm not nit-pickey, but I think $30K should bring close to perfection: -it may be the scan resolution, but the body looks a little less than perfect around the right front door; -there is no mirror on the passenger side; -the rear fender stone shields are absent; -there is no windshield washer bag; -the ignition cable covers SHOULD be black on silver valve covers; -the steering-wheel vinyl looks the same as all of mine at the angles: shriveled; -the pedals look well worn, even for 81k miles, except for the parking brake rubber which isn't! (there) -the steering wheel has the usual cracks; -is anyone bored yet? So I'm a little skeptical of the "needs nothing" and the mileage, and wonder if the "runs and drives like new" is as credible. That said, is it worth $30K? The correct answer is...........yes, if you want it bad enough!
