The only exception is is the driver mirror which has a 1/4 inch long touch up on the leading edge. The lower portion of the front bumper has mild road abrasion consistent with the age of the car.Interior blemishes are limited to very minor wear to the drivers seat bolsters which must be pointed out to be noticed.
