This vehicle is showing wear and tear. No fluid in washer tank. This vehicle has major scratches on the right driver side of the vehicle. Paint was resprayed, chipping and cracking. The vehicle repaint shows dust under the paint, some orange peel, and signs of poor prep. This is sub-par workmanship. The underside shows areas of surface rust. See pictures. The exterior light lenses are worn and foggy due to oxidation. The door mirror housings have miscellaneous scratches with paint chipping and cracking. The rear bumper has impact damage. The front bumper has paint chipping. 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 chrome on the front bumper is chipping. I found no obvious signs of the vehicle having prior major accident or flood damage.

The interior shows wear and tear to all of the contact points. Horn center cap has been removed. Seats show signs of heavy usage. Wear and tear heavily visible. See pictures. The radio does not work. The inner door panels show heavy wear. See pictures. The interior trim shows normal wear consistent with mileage. The dash shows cracks. The dash is showing wear and tear. The A/C is not blowing cold and the compressor did not turn on. The A/C system is not functioning. Further diagnosis is necessary. The carpet shows moderate wear from use. The floor mats are dirty. Left side of trunk liner is coming up from the bed. All accessories are working as designed.

I found no issues on the test drive, but the engine is seeping some oil from the underside. There were no drips at time of inspection. This area should be cleaned off and rechecked to verify source of leak or leaks. The engine had plenty of power and there were no misfires. The transmission shifted as designed with no harsh engagement or slipping. The steering was responsive and the suspension was firm and the vehicle handled well. There were no abnormal vibrations or odd noises. The brakes were firm with no pulsation felt. See below and pictures for more info.
