This looks like a tight squeeze to sleep 4. Wouldn’t want to be crammed in there on a hot, muggy night.

For that kind of money, there are other choices including this 2006 S4 with a V8 and far less miles at $11.5k: https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/cto/7540198032.html
Hey, I’m flying to L.A. in the morning. I think I’ll take some time out to just have a look at it. NOT.
Of all the cars seen recently here, this is one that gets my juices flowing. A fun and stylish modern classic to have. Yes, the rust could be daunting, but at this price it’s worth swinging for the fences to create a classic driver for some time to come.
Before one buys this, one needs to take it on a test drive. If one doesn’t have a true purpose for this vehicle then one is surely a poser that doesn’t mind bucking down the highway to one’s mall.
I’d rather look for a Nissan 370Z drop top than this. Just sayin’.
Neither fish nor fowl. Whatever it is, it’s putrid to the core. ND.
Ivana Trump’s executor is wasting no time unloading the goods.
It’s hovering around the mileage where plenty of the drivetrain begins to fail. A buyer should expect to be looking at a head gasket job. I had inherited the equivalent Buick Estate Wagon with all the trimmings, including leather. Around 80k miles it was beginning to slide into it’s doom. Nice freeway cruiser and…
$88k and not willing to go to an upholstery shop to fix that ripped seat panel? Pass. And, the possible fact that he’s an At Home Dealer. Hard pass.
Being retired doesn’t mean retiring one’s taste. Let alone one’s sense.
While this may have the right options wrapped in sport wagon clothing, my experience with a similar year 5 cyl Volvo says it’s overpriced. That many miles means many thousands more Volvo bucks will be needed to keep this Ford era model driveable.
My Dad’s were pretty cool in the day, but extremely collectable now. They were all leased or business owned, sometimes for only a year:
I’m not so sure either one of those Marketplace ones are any better.
True, this car isn’t special and perhaps has a suspect GM engine that could be a roadmap to problems. But, I voted NP thinking of it as a budget daily driver that’s decently clean with low miles. The color is a bit non-conformist for use as a PI stakeout car, but it would still provide anonymity for someone looking…
What’s with those WA plates? In 2009 the 3 digit 3 letter plates were exhausted and the state went to 7 character format starting with “A”. There’s something fishy here to be checked out. A 6 place “D” plate would be from the early 2000s. But otherwise, I vote a tentative NP.
Is there an operating bilge pump for rainwater or will I need to rely on a decent sized bung hole?
Having had a V8 large Benz from that era, I was on the fence and voted ND because there wasn’t a mention of timing chain renewal and the leather and wood issues seemed excessive for an example with 111k on the odometer.
I feel ya - and don’t forget that the low mileage may be compromised by that ‘wonky’ odometer.
+1 -- Sometimes it was fun back in the day. But living anywhere there’s traffic, it’s just a pain threshold reached early and often.
