We had a neighbor who is a mechanic check the car out for us. He drove it around and reported what he found. The car is roadworthy. There are no leaks. The brakes work and the car stops fine, but they are spongy so should be flushed for best performance. The suspension and steering are tight. All the lights, horn, wipers and windshield washer work. The car has heat but the blower motor isn't working, possibly a blown fuse. The driver's side window won't roll down and the passenger side window won't roll up. When this was my car twenty years ago, the connections to the power window switches were always touchy and required reseating to the connectors periodically.
