ConditionThe car is in great condition as it has been babied its whole life. After buying it from its first owner in 2014, who was a collector and barely drove it, I drove the car cross country from NY to Seattle through Texas and a year later shipped it back to NY via enclosed carrier. I take public transit to work, so I have only had the chance to enjoy it on the weekends.. The miles are virtually all highway miles. The car was always garaged, hand washed and professionally detailed yearly.
But as with any 5 years old, if you look with a microscope, there will be imperfections. The ones I know of are the obvious things you'll get as black paint ages like some light swirl marks. There are a few tiny rock chips on the front fascia and hood and some scuffs on the top of the rear bumper near the hatch opening from careless kids taking stuff out of the trunk. The vent phone mount I used popped one of the AC drivers side vent blades off its axis, so no longer rotates with the adjusting wheel. There is a tiny scuff on the middle armrest between the two front seats. Front passenger side wheel has some curb rash.
Everything on the car is bone stock, with the addition of a direct mount for a passport escort max radar detector mounted above the mirror and with a remote button in the ashtray (included with the car). It also comes with the detachable roof racks, cargo net and cargo organizer system.
Tires are the excellent Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 in OEM size, with 6/32'' tread remaining.
Serviced exclusively at the dealer, with the last service performed a week ago being an oil change and the scheduled manual transmission fluid change plus the routine check confirming a clean bill of health.
Warranty
Before the manufacturer's bumper to bumper warranty expired less than a year ago I made sure to fix any lingering problems, These included replacing the drivers seat frame, supercharger replacement under recall, new clutch pedal unit to address a broken return spring and a new navigation unit.
