Defects: the handle to open the trunk is missing a plastic cover. (you can't see it anyways), The leather around the shifter is starting to wear and has a hole in the leather, there's a slow power leak that I was never able to find, so we put a switch behind the passenger seat (where the battery normally is) where you can flip a switch to unhook the battery if you're not going to run it for a few days. The batteries on the keys that automatically open the doors are dead. put in new batteries, touch a button, and watch the doors open...it's really Cool ! There's a super super tiny dent above one of the lights, I point it out in one of the pictures...if I didn't point it out, you'd probably never see it. The oil pressure always shows 3/4 high. The prior owner had a few people look at it, and I had 3 people look at it, and all of them say that everything seems fine. It's never been a problem for me. The original cassette/radio sounds fair, but not great.
