Condition

Body and Exterior Condition:

The paint is generally in good condition but shows some minor imperfections: slight paint flaking under the right rear reflector and on the lower rear edge of the passenger door. There is rust on the lower rear edge of the passenger door (approx. 5 cm). Chrome, trim, light lenses, and emblems are reported to be in good condition. On the driver’s side, a previously repaired stone chip in the windshield may need to be redone.

Interior:

According to the seller, the interior is in good condition. There is a mouse hole at the bottom of the passenger seat backrest, and the front edge of the seat shows minor damage. The headliner is in good condition, with a few small dark spots on the right side near the rear window. The steering wheel, controls, and buttons are in very good condition, although the speedometer light is not working.

Tires and Wheels:

The tires have approximately 4 mm tread depth. The wheels are 5.5 inches wide – a non-original modification.

Mechanical and Functional Condition:

The engine was rebuilt in 2022 following an overheating incident and is reported to run very well. The gearbox and drivetrain are in very good condition; the clutch cylinder was replaced in 2022. The front brakes (disc brakes) need attention. They respond unevenly when braking and have a tendency to stick slightly.

Multiple inspection reports, service records, and receipts are collected in a binder, with the oldest receipt dating back to around 2008. The last approved vehicle inspection was in 2017.
