Well, the beastie is home. She has some things to work out but the items aren’t important or not too crazy. The best part is the original window sticker...

Thanks! I am seriously impressed with how well the exterior has held up. Only real flaw is some clear coat peeling on the front bumper.
Inside needs a cleaning. Some of the leather has dried out too :(

Love it.
It looks pretty clean. Any pictures of the interior?

I recently purchased a 2005 Volvo S80. It’s in a similar state, pristine on the outside but the leather looks tired and dried out. Thanks, Florida.

Looks about like this but the camera isn’t showing years of interior dressing and sun damage:

Thank you. Gotta love inflation and depreciation!

Plastics turn sticky and brittle. Horrible thing that Florida sun. I believe this car lived in FL for a while too.

I am so jealous. She’s beautiful. And you almost never see these anymore! It’s hard to keep old Germans on the road, but to the right owner, it’s so worth it.

Unfortunately with AWD, it will see winter action. However, as with all things I do intend on keeping it the best I can despite the grind of winter driving.
P.S your Phaeton rocks and I feel this car shares the same vibe.

I seriously recommend this stuff on your leather

I’ve been reading that I need to clean the leather first then probably use something like what you’ve recommended. Any recommendation on washes?

I usually use Meguiars or Mothers, I don’t really have a strong preference on that

Especially with the white stuff coming, I expect more posts containing this majestic purple beast
