Tires
The rims are showing scratches. Front tire size is 205/50R16 while rear tire size is 225/50R16.

Exterior
There are scratches around the vehicle. Most too small to see in photos. The paint shows some wear and tear. The underside and engine bay shows surface rust. Some areas may require spot sealing on certain sealants, which is typical for the vehicle's age pic 25. One of the taillights appears white, as seen in picture 6.

Interior
There is wear to the seats. No unusual odor observed inside the vehicle. The vehicle trunk space was inspected same was found clean and appears intact.

Mechanical
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. Exhaust shows some surface rust.

Road Test
I found no issues during the test drive. The engine had plenty of power with no misfires. The transmission shifted as designed with no slipping. The steering was responsive, the suspension was firm, and the vehicle handled well. There were no abnormal vibrations or unusual noises. The brakes were firm with no pulsation. There is no OBD port available.
