Rust free car from South Carolina

Car still has original spare,tool kit and first aid kit in car unused

Interiorand exterior would give an 8/10. The car turns heads wherever it goes I get compliments all the time at the gas station. Local german mechanic I took it to recently said it was the nicest example he had seen in a long time, and he specialized in olderMercedes and BMW's! This is a greatrunning and looking car that just needs a few tweaks to be complete. Igot a deal on a low mileage 5 series so switching back to BMW since I can't keep 2 cars (unfortunately, I really love driving this car!)

What doesn't work:
Power locks
Cruise control
Sunroof needs seals installed (have parts)
Rear window needs gasket installed (have parts)

Wood Trim needs installed on doors and center console (have parts)

Heating system works but is currently cut out of loop. The heat works great but there is a diverter valve that isn't hooked up and I don't have a wiring diagram to hook it back up to test it. Basically when the heat is shut off the diverter valve does not open to allow coolant to cycle around the heater core and back to the engine. In the winter months I just kept the heat on all the time but now that it is warming up I have ran a bypass line around the heating system. If you know anything about these cars (I don't really) then it would be an easy fix, either hooking up wires or at worst replacing the diverter valve.

Everything else works as it should and again absolutely no rust whatsoever, this car was in the South until I bought it middle of last year and I never drove it in the snow or salt.
