The time has come to sell my VIII. As much as I love this car, it's not practical for me right now- as a recent college grad looking for a full-time job, its appetite for premium is getting a little tough to keep up with. For me, as things sit now, I gotta "trim the fat" expense-wise.
That said, here's my VIII. Unfortunately, from the time I washed and waxed it this morning to when I took pics this afternoon, it picked up a fine coat of dust. If you want more/better pics, PM me your email and I'll gladly ship 'em off to ya.
The lowdown...
'94 VIII. Deep Jewel over Saddle.
Bought 6/05 with ~83K on the clock. Just turned 100K
Fresh Mercon V last October, only about 10K on the car since then. Also, this car had a reman trans put in Oct. 2000. We pulled the pan to ensure it has the updated parts-it does. So no trans worries on this one- you get a 4R70W with the right stuff and only 30K!
Swapped to coils last November, those of you wondering about the ride... rest assured it's just as good as the air, if not a little better even. (You will get the "Check Air Ride" msg on startup but I wasn't about to go cutting wires and accidentally hack the wrong one. So, I'd rather just hit Reset twice.)
Only ever had Mobil 1 in its time with me, service records from previous owner suggest they kept up on the changes but I switched it to synth at 88K. No new leaks, this car regularly tops 3000 miles between changes without losing a drop of oil. (It's about due for another change, this will be done before it goes to its new owner)
Body/paint good overall, some door dings/scrapes but this is a 12 year old daily driver. Rt front bumper a little scraped from previous owner. Rear bumper as well... Camera likes to hide it.
Has all the toys, save the block heater (does anyone actually have that?!), I still have the original chrome 20-spokes. (They have a nice shine but the chrome between spokes isn't too great)
NYS inspection good through 6-07
Interior good all around, I kept up on it as best I could. I would say normal wear all the way around on the leather, which I regularly treated to Lexol... small pinhole in bottom of drivers' seat, small tear in passenger seat bottom. Rear seat is immaculate.
4 new Falken Ziex 512's with less than 1200 miles on them.
A/C is still very strong. Nice to have with this heatwave going on!
