Is this really low mileage Black Pearl? Anyone recognize this car?

Featured Replies

Well, this Black Pearl is on Ebay right now.

6691 Miles the owner stated.

As far as interior goes, it looks like it has over 100K miles........

HLS30459871 is the VIN.

Does anyone recognize this car?:)

No way that's only 6,600 miles. It's turned over at least once. The wear on the driver seat is very telling.

Interesting to note - the seller entered the mileage in the field, but never mentions miles anywhere in his description. He knows that it is over 100k, but is probably hoping that buyers may think otherwise. And he then he can claim that he didn't lie about the mileage. Not someone I'd feel good about buying from, I suspect.

I totally agree with you on that. Yes. The driver's seat. And faded carpet. Engine room... My 72 car with 26K miles look 200 times better than that.

As you mentioned, if the seller stated it is over 100K, then the seems to be in really good condition. It might be worth 7-8K?

The faded carpet is OK, that just takes sun exposure. My car's carpet was far worse. But you are right, my '71 with 72k looks better than that by quite a bit.

I could not find this on Ebay so I can not comment on the actual car. I did see pictures of others and I keep getting reminded how ugly they made the bumpers on later s30's, stupid government legislation.

black is faded out of the center of the wheels as well. I think the car has been painted. The rear tail light panels are way too faded to match that paint. They should be quite a bit darker than that.

"Interior is excellent. Carpet, console, panels, etc look great...drivers seat bottom is a bit stressed but not ripped."

Above quote was taken from ebay website. I would think think with that few miles, the drivers seat would be perfect. I can understand fading of the carpet, or sun damage to the exterior, but the seats should be not be stressed with less than 7000 miles.
