Only 155K miles, it could be used as is, or gradually returned to it's former glory. Appearance wise, the paint looks original and is in decent shape, but upon closer inspection you'll notice fading, some checking, as well as quite a few chips. A thorough detailing would probably help, but a repaint may be in order if you're a stickler for appearances. Inside, everything looks good but you'll quickly notice that the drivers seat sags a bit, and the vinyl around the window frames has shrunk from heat. The dashboard has a few minor cracks, the headliner is loose around the sunroof, and the AC does not seem to work. Mechanically it runs and drives well, and appears to have been well maintained. The tires are Michelins and still have 50% tread life. A clean, rust free, blue plate California car with a lot of life left in it.
