Condition
8
The car was refurbished under prior ownership and has had several mechanical components replaced, including the engine, fuel system, battery, and exhaust. The interior was also redone with new carpeting. While the odometer shows low miles, it's noted as 'Exempt' and 'TMU' (True Mileage Unknown), suggesting it may not be original. Cosmetic condition is not detailed beyond the paint and upholstery colors, but the overall impression from the description of upgrades and replacements suggests a very well-maintained vehicle with minimal cosmetic imperfections.
