Condition
7
The car is described as being in very good overall condition, with slight wear visible in the paint and interior. It has been well-maintained, with recent work including a driveshaft rebuild and new tires. While it has Euro headlights and bumpers, and a body-color hardtop, the description mentions aged woodgrain trim and crank windows, suggesting it's not in pristine or outstanding condition. The 113k miles also indicate it's a driver rather than a collector's garage queen.
