often i hear people talking about strange people that are interested in buying.... but i must say that i think that this add looks kind of strange to me as well... look at the pictures... the seats are not the same...

wondering why someone who needs to sell does not pay more attention to their own add... please make nice and good pics. you like to sell and i like to buy...

thx

Seats are later seats. They look like early seats in external pic. Maybe the external pic is an old pic before he fitted the seats.

guess so and hope so... but these things give me a strange impression... even a rebuild and so on... for that price that is very very cheap or...

and i do worry about the "or" part.

why someone does not take the time to make good pictures. no time??? just takes 5 min.

I think the search engine's fked up.

If you type in "priced lowest first" it end's up on the last page, same with the "most recent ad" search.

I'd be surprised if that car doesn't sell today though smile

Something strange with that advert...you are correct about the seats but look at the speedo, its has a digital mileometer used on a later car with the later seats.

Also it's got the air vent by your right knee, the same as my 01.

But the 96 doesn't have one there, its got one on the transmission tunnel instead, by my left calf.

Does anyone know when they changed, I presumed it was when the LW's got released.

I can understand someone changing the seats......well I can't because the Tuscan one's are ste...... but would you go to the trouble of changing the dash & ventilation system ?

Just noticed it's got the two big hot air vents on top of the dash as well. I thought the pre 99 cars have lots of small holes that do both hot & cold.
