Condition

The car has undergone significant refurbishment and additional service totaling over $35k in the last 15 years, including interior and suspension work. The Carfax report is clean, and it's noted the roof was refinished in 2017 and right-rear damage was repaired in 2008. While these indicate some past issues and repairs, the extensive recent service and overall description suggest excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition for a car of this age.
