The car is in excellent running condition. There are small dents in various locations throughout the car. I received an estimate to remove all dents. Estimated cost is $500
The car has a clean carfax and there are no signs that the car has ever been involved in an accident. All panels, doors, and hood have matching vin numbers.
The car has had a clear bra installed since new. I have removed the clear bra as their life span is only about 10 years and it began to crack due to age.
The drivers side seat bolster was worn as is typical of these cars. I had the bolster professionally repaired at a cost of $450
The convertible top is motorized and is in excellent working condition
When I received the car, the glovebox suffered from the typical "sag." This has been repaired.
I have the original wheels with tires. The original wheels need to be refinished but are in great structural condition. The wheels also have tires on them with approximately 50% life left.
The car was purchased with 109,000 miles and now has 112,500 miles. It has been garage kept since I purchased the car and am told that it was garage kept most of its life. There are no signs of rust.
If I were keeping the car there are 2 things I would fix:
1. I would fix the dents mentioned above.
2. I would replace the passenger seatbelt receiver. Apparently the sensor in the receiver is faulty and thus the airbag light is on. I am told that the airbag still deploys, the car just thinks the passenger is not belted in.
I am sure that I am forgetting other bits I have done to the car and will update this post as I remember them. If you have any questions, please text or call me at 919-812-8784. Thank you.
