Please see description above. The car has had minimal use the last 5 years. Things I know need fixing:There is rust on the underside, doors and door jams (needs attention). Trunk was hit. It is operable, but has sizable dent (see pictures). The locking mechanism for the trunk doesn't fully release sometimes (stange because all the automatic doors work fine so it does not appear to be vacuum problem). Also casing for turn signal was damagedThe front driver seat has discoloration, wear and small rip where the seatbelt "rubs"the front passenger seatbelt locking device is non-operable (plastic cracked)Backseat window not operable.Front driver window goes down partially, but sticks (motor is working) Air conditioning blows, but not cold. When i drove it more frequently I thought it worked fine so maybe needs chargeUsed possibly 20-30 times in last 4 years (for short trips) so should give it full inspection and replace battery. We have owned this car since 1998. It always started up easily. Acceleration is great. Steering feels a bit "loose", but it has been that way since we purchased it. I did have some problems in the winters on really cold days as the battery probably doesn't fully charge given low use. I am currently "wary" of saying it is truly road worthy without a real mechanical inspection / tune-up for 3 reasons: First, is its lack of recent use. I just can't be comfortable that sitting around for such a long period of time has not affected its dependability; Second, the turn signal (trunk) is damaged. Although the rear lights work, i think you might be required to have a proper plastic casing. Finally, there is a good deal of rust on the underside. If it wasn't for the rust, I would probably have hired someone to fix the trunk long ago and would still be using the car.
