This vehicle appears to be in working order as it was designed with wear and tear consistent with the age and mileage of the vehicle. However upon closer inspection there are issues to note.
Exterior
There are misc scratches around the vehicle. Normal for age. There is evidence of previous paint work on this vehicle. The underside and engine compartment show areas of rust. The driver side headlight is out. The body seals around the windows are showing signs of age and wear. This includes the doors, windows, trunk, and other miscellaneous body seals. The hood will not latch close after it was opened for the inspection.
Interior
The horn does not work. There is wear to the seats. Normal for age. The inner door panels show wear consistent with age. The interior trim shows normal wear consistent with age. The center console shows wear and tear. The dash is showing wear and tear. The carpet shows wear from use. The floor mats are discolored and show wear.
Mechanical
The hoses are old and worn. The radiator isn't currently leaking but shows corrosion and wear due to age. The belt is showing wear from age. There is moisture present under the vehicle, this is evidence of a leak or a seep. This area should be cleaned off and monitored. The exhaust shows some surface rust, but at this time has no leaks and sounds good.
Test Drive
The engine started up and idled with no smoke or abnormal noise. The engine had power and the transmission operated without issue. The steering and suspension worked as intended. The brakes were firm with no pulsations or pulling.
