THE NOT SO GREAT
Please keep in mind I have completely gone over this vehicle, because of this I may make it sound worse than it is. The headlamp washers do not work, and there is a small washer fluid leak. The windows are tinted and the drivers front tint has faded. This was an upstate NY car for a period of time, as a result there is a spot of rust on the RR corner of the vehicle above the rear bumper behind the wheel. There are several dings and some prior damage from where a fan blade broke off and dented the hood. There is also a dent below the RR tail lamp. There is one remaining oil leak that has not been fixed. The oil pan gasket is leaking some engine oil. In the time I have driven the car it does not appear to be a very bad leak, that's why I'm not repairing it. Again, full disclosure I don't want there to be any surprises for the future owner. Other than that, it's good to go!
