The Recaro seats are firm but the drivers seat has some rips (pictured in photo). Aside from this and three 1-2 inch cracks in the dash, he rest of the interior is perfect. The black leather door panels are impeccable. White roof liner fully intact, o rips.
There is only one small rust spot, bout 2 square inches.
Room for improvement: the driver's door is a little sticky. The paint on top has a worn patina feel. There are small leaks customary to any old car -- I add brake fluid once every few months and top off the radiator. A common problem with this model is a gas smell if you fill up all the way. I fill the engine about 3/4 full and it never happens to me. Aforementioned rips in the driver's seat. A little sluggish on the cold start, ut warms up quickly and always starts. Powerful and perfect warm starting.
