THE GOOD:

Has been a daily driver until now.

Starts every time, idles smooth, runs smooth on the freeway (no pulling/wobbles).

All 5 gears & reverse can be selected without trouble (sometimes first, from a stop, takes a couple attempts).

No rips in the upholstery (some wear/thinning on driver's side from climbing in/out). Headliner intact.

Has spare, and original jack.

AC and heater work great.

Clear Title. (Wife and I have owned the car since 2003--a couple years ago we transferred the title to my father in-law when we moved to CA, to avoid some DMV hoops. That title is now in our hands, signed, and ready to go.)

THE ISSUES:

ABS is bad (light is on) and the pedal occasionally pulses when applying brakes.

Both windows don't work--driver's is propped up inside the door panel--passenger's is taped, but slowly falls.

Exhaust leak. (this is still registered in WA, unlikely it will pass smog in CA without some work.)

Lately, it's started to leak coolant--not sure of the source, but the light comes on now once every week or two, and needs topping off.

Engine light on.

Uses a little oil, has done this for years at about same rate--keep an eye on it each month or two.

A couple small plastic interior pieces/panels have popped off over the years. (I saved them for you!)

A few dings and scratches (worst is drivers running board/panel area, which is dented along its length--as well as a long scratch on passenger door).

No hub caps.

___
