The car has been refurbished with a repaint, interior reupholstery, and mechanical work. However, the selling dealer notes some issues like surging cruise control, a non-functional cigarette lighter, a rear window defroster button that doesn't illuminate, an intermittent door lock, and climate control that doesn't automatically cycle through all temperatures. These issues indicate slight wear and the need for some reconditioning, placing it in the 'Very Good' category.
