[s-cars] S8 talk

[manuelsanchez at starpower.net]

'01 S8
Black exterior, tan interior. Every option except the solar sun roof and sport seats (oh well).

62,000 miles, 22.5USD.  Outside there's a slight scratch or 2 on the bumpers, otherwise clean. The tan leather doesn't seem to have aged as well as the other black one I was looking at that had 88,000 miles, but maybe I'll get it detailed and it will look better. I really don't care for the tan steering wheel or dash, but I thought it more prudent to get the lower mileage car.  This one seems to have had lots of problems with leaves clogging the sunroof drains, resulting in water seepage into the cabin. The passenger A pillar has a palm sized water stain on it. Otherwise it's clean. The PO was going to keep it for longer, but needed something with bigger cargo capacity to carry his mainsails(he lives waterfront in Annapolis MD with a J46 sailboat). He also had some trouble with the A/C Evaporator drain clogging, and spitting water out of the rear vents. He had it dealer serviced, with records, and he tried to get everything fixed before the warranty ran out.  New rotors and pads, new tires this year.

Wife is happy.
