The car has some minor cosmetic issues like pixel fade on the radio display, but overall, it's well-maintained with recent service and repairs. The bodykit, wheels, and sport features enhance its appeal. The presence of some wear and need for minor reconditioning bring the condition rating down to a 'Good' level.
