Wonderful car to drive. Great ride.

Welcome to the S-Stype family. I have a 2000 model 4.0 V8 and I LOVE IT. Its now got 136k+ miles on it, and running strong. I think out of every car I've owned in my life, this is my favorite. Its classy, smooth, fast, and has a beautiful silver paint job. My leather seats are getting a bit worn, I will end up re-doing those at some point, but other than that, its in sweet shape. i had a 5" DVD player installed where the stock audio CD player was location, and it sit next to the GPS that came installed with it, so it looks pretty badarse with two LCD screens side-by-side, and with the iPhone cable attached to it, we can use the iPhone with the unit for a lot of things like watching YouTube videos, movies and TV shows, listening to music and other things. The car gets really good mileage, especially for a v8 engine, and I'm planning to keep this one for a very, very long time, knock on wood.

BTW, I discovered that Oxyclean with "Elbow grease" followed by soft soapy solution followed by water on rag rinse, can really get stains out of ivory leather.

Nash, are you in Nashville? I'm in Franklin. There's a guy in town who can restore the leather. He did my wife's Saab and it looks like new.
