Condition
7
The car is described as being in overall solid condition, but the gallery of photos would need to be reviewed to determine the extent of wear on the paint, interior, and wheels. The presence of slight wear suggests it's not in pristine condition, but the clean Carfax report and well-maintained history point to a rating of Very Good.
