I picked up a third Mark yesterday. In May 08, I found a little old guy here in town,
with a 94 plain white w/ tan interior and 43k miles on the clock. It was in AZ for 2 years
then came to Iowa where it was stored from Oct to May every year and driven a few
hundred miles each summer. Not a spec of rust or faded anything.
Last year he wouldn"t price it, this spring he said $10k (I offered $4K), he put it on
Craig's list for $7k w/ no takers, last week he dropped to $5k (I offered $4500).
Yesterday he called my bluff and said he had a buyer, but would give me first chance.
I didn't want to risk losing a creampuff over $500, so I paid his price. It sounds like
a lot, but in the upper midwest, rust free, unthrashed Marks no longer exist.
One thing is odd - the interior is what I'd call saddle tan, but the upper half of the
dash, a, b & c pillars and above & below the side windows is black. Is this typical of
that color interior?
