Anything you need to know?
- Car is in incredible condition. One small ding on rear passenger door, drivers seat has small tear.
- Suspension was next on my list, everything works fine but i think its a little tired. Some clunking over bumps, mechanic checked all bushings but they are fine, suspect suspension is just tired.
