SUMMARY
Mechanical

The odometer reading was 227,039 miles at the time of the inspection. Due to other concerns about the vehicle, a road test wasn't performed. Therefore, the transmission, braking, and steering performance could not be assessed. Nothing irregular was reported about the engine oil and engine performance.

There are major paint defects on the left fender, the hood, and passenger's side exterior mirror. There is a paint chip on the driver's side exterior mirror. There are light scratches on the driver's side door, the right fender, and trunk gates. No damage was reported to the underside hood, the front left frame apron, and the front right frame apron. The vehicle doesn't appear to have been repainted.

Interior

It was noted that the air conditioner is not fully functional. There is a major stain on the front carpet. The floormats and the front seat are torn. There are light stains on the rear carpet and trunk/3rd row. It was found that there is light wear on the dash console and front door panel, consistent with age and mileage. No noticeable damage was reported to the rear body seam, the left rear frame, and the right rear frame. There were no noticeable unpleasant odors detected within the car.

Tires & Wheels
