“Exceptionally well maintained inside and out. Garaged in climate-controlled airport hanger. No rust, leak-free, no dents, no dings, smoke-free. This car needs nothing other than i)Right rear view mirror has a crack. ii)Boot lid needs to be hand-held to maintain open position, and iii) Cruise control could use a little attitude adjustment (intermittent). Brand NEW Michelin tires, brand NEW battery. Very smooth and powerful, a delight to drive. Carfax in Photos section.” |
