Condition

The car has several cosmetic issues including a crack in the bumper trim, a crack in the driver's door pull surround, and wear on the passenger seat bolster. The air conditioning is inoperative, and the alarm system and radio are not functional. While it has had recent mechanical work, these noticeable flaws prevent a higher rating.
