There is light wear to the seats. Normal for mileage. The A/C is not blowing as cold as it should. More diagnosis is needed. A/C charge kit found on front seat. The A/C vents trim on 23rd picture shows a crack. The fuel gauge reads pegged empty. The inner trunk hatch and carpet is scratched and stained but in decent condition. No unusual odor observed inside the vehicle.

Mechanical condition:
I saw that all fluids were clean and at the correct levels, while belts and hoses were in good condition without any noticeable cracks or wear. There was no burning oil smell in the engine compartment after running the vehicle. No obvious leaks were noted from the engine and transmission. Exhaust system components were noted to be intact with no audible leaks.

Road Test condition:
Unable to perform a road test due to expired plates, fuel gauge pegged below empty and the owner not present during inspection. Engine start and idle good.
