This is my wife's sunny day and weekend driver. The car runs great, no mechanical issues. Shifts as it should and everything works, blows ice cold a/c. The tires have approx. 70% tread and the brakes feel great, no pulsating. Mechanically, the car is top notch, no disappointments. It was well taken care of. The exterior of the car is in nice, clean condition. The wheels are a 10, no missing center caps, no curb rash, no rust, no flaking paint. The roof is in like new condition and it is the black cloth, not the cheap vinyl. It is not weathered and no loose stitching. The body is dent and ding free, but does have a few scratches. I will elaborate on this: there is one on the front fender about 3 inches that was touched up and looks fine from 10ft away. There is one small scratch that was touched up on the rear quarter driver side, about 1 1/2 inches. And there are 2 or 3 little light ones on the trunk that may be a able to be buffed out. They are not down to the primer, they are hardly visible. There is no rust and the paint is shiny. The front nose is not rock chipped up. There are a few bug stains on the front bumper but nothing too elaborate. I wanted to be very descriptive because I am a very fussy man. The interior is very clean, no cracks on the dash. No major carpet stains. It does have some light sun fading but because of the tan interior color, it is not very noticeable. There is a small pea size hole on the drivers seat bolster, which is common from getting in and out. I called the local shop, and they said $175 to recover the seat. i would give this interior an 8, and once again, i am very, very fussy. I would also give the exterior an 8. But for the age and miles, it is a very nice clean little car. So if you are looking for a mechanically sound, dent/ding free well taken care of car, this might be the one for you.
