Have driven one of these in manual -- do not want! It's never going to be a driver's car.
Plus 250k miles = 400k km.
Plus black.
Plus no interior pics.
Plus on mars.
The 90 is a great way to shift kids and lots of stuff around especially since the wife wants a 'big' car. I'm certainly not expecting it to be nimble through the twisties. If one could get improved fuel economy from a manual transmission then surely thats a bonus.
254k kms or miles? I remember speaking to the previous seller who stated the clock read 160k miles but that would be worth clarifying as well.
Most likely a 'sight unseen' purchase obviously. Interior condition could well be an issue as you say. Probably a more realistic $7-7.5k car all things considered.
Dont mind the black :)
