Condition
6
The car is described as having been refinished in blue over a gray leather interior, suggesting it's not in original factory condition but has been restored to some extent. It comes with partial service records, indicating maintenance but also potentially some wear and tear over its life. There's mention of underbody corrosion in the photo gallery, which detracts from the condition. Overall, it seems to be in good shape for its age, with some reconditioning work done.
