Interior is pretty good. Leather seats solid, no rips or split seams. No cracks on dash.Zero major defects.
This car cost $53K new in 1999! I have the window sticker.
What can I say...it's a 99 so it's got some small dings, I mean minor. Gravel chips. Roadside branch scratches. Etc.
But everything, and I do mean everything from the horn to the exhaust tip, WORKS.
