1998 Chevrolet Corvette

The interior was examined for cosmetic issues and functionality. Minor miscellaneous scratches are noticeable on the driver's door and rockers. There is also a nick on the hood, and protective blocks have scuff marks. Additionally, the window trim and door seals were found to be in good condition. The glass was free of obvious damage, and the windshield wiper/washer functioned properly. Both the headlights and tail lights were clear and free of any obvious cracks or other damage.

The interior was examined for cosmetic issues and functionality. There is light wear on the seats, and both seats have undergone minor repairs on the seat cushions. The climate control and infotainment systems were observed to function properly. All essential features such as windows, locks, mirrors, and gauges operated properly during the inspection. There were no indications of smoke or unusual odors. The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is not functioning.

The engine bay and undercarriage components underwent a visual inspection for leakage, deterioration, and fluid conditions. The oil is fresh and at the proper level, showing no signs of excessive moisture or sludge under the oil fill cap. However, aftermarket air filters, exhaust, and engine trim have been installed. Additionally, there is evidence of oil leaking around the oil pan area and minor surface rust on the exhaust system.

During the test drive, the vehicle accelerated as expected and performed well in terms of ride quality, acceleration, and handling. The brakes felt firm, with no detectable pulsation. A scan of the ECU revealed no current, pending, or historic fault codes.

The tires were inspected for tread depth and any unusual wear patterns. All four tires are of the same brand and have sufficient remaining tread depth.
