Tire
All four tires have an adequate amount of remaining tread depth with an even wear pattern.
Exterior
There are minor scratches around the vehicle, most of which are too small to see in photos. Headlights and tail lights were clear and free of cracks or other damage. The panel alignments appeared to be normal. The exterior lights were functional and working properly. Due to the vehicle's positioning, I was unable to capture a full front picture.
Interior
There is light wear to the seats. The interior trim shows normal wear. I did not notice any odd smells or signs the car was smoked in. There were also no signs of water leaks. The climate control system operated in all modes and blew the desired temperature. All the interior electronics appeared to operate as designed. The weather stripping was in good shape.
Mechanical
The vehicle's battery was dead at the time of inspection. It was connected to jumper cables for over half an hour, during which the suspension and electrical systems were observed to be functioning. However, there was not enough power to crank the engine over. The vehicle has been fully restored from top to bottom with a full air ride suspension, quilted leather seats, Brembo pistons, and an LS3 engine from a Corvette. The steering wheel also appears to be aftermarket. All accessible fluids are on level. It did not have any visible active fluid leaks at the time of inspection.
Road Test
The road test was not performed as the vehicle's battery was completely dead. Due to the dead battery, I was not able to check the OBD systems.
