1998 Renault Sport Spider

The exterior was inspected for cosmetic issues and functionality. The paint looked good, with no signs of previous repairs. The window trim and door seals were in good condition, and the glass was free of obvious damage. Both the headlights and taillights were clear and free of any noticeable cracks or other damage. Panel gaps and shut lines appeared to be normal.

During the interior inspection, the climate control and infotainment systems were observed to function properly. All essential features, including windows, locks, mirrors, and gauges, operated correctly during the inspection. There were no indications of smoke or unusual odors.

The engine bay and undercarriage components were visually inspected to check for any indications of leakage, deterioration, and fluid conditions. All accessible fluids were at their proper levels and displayed a healthy color. There were no visible signs of leaks or seepages underneath.

A test drive was conducted, and the vehicle accelerated as expected, performing well in terms of ride quality, acceleration, and handling. I did not detect any odd noises or vibrations during the inspection. The brakes felt firm, with no detectable pulsation.

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

Please refer to the detail section and photos for additional information.
