• Interior Condition is A+. Passenger seat bolsters look almost new. Driver bolster has zero cracks, just creases from use. Truly is in amazing condition. Still smells factory fresh
• Completely leak free

• A few minor defects in the paint/rock chips on the front and hood. Nothing major. I have detailed the extent of defects in pictures. In my opinion, for a 20+ yr old car, they are minor.
