Arrow Buying S500

1994. Price was right and in great shape except the leather. Low miles so I bought it.
Any big problems with this model? Has all records.
Thank you

Verified as 1994

To me the leather is bad. Dry, needs TLC and the Bolster is worn. LARGE person owned car so they sliding in and out got it. Backseat dye is fine just must refinish the front seats. I know someone that can get the stuff for me cheap LOL

Car is home

Picked it up Friday, it is MORE COMFORTABLE than the Rolls and QUITER. Moves very well for a heavy car. Wife likes it very much. PHEW!
Glad I bought it.
