Additional equipment includes heated front seats, a power sun shade, power mirrors, an original car phone with handsfree capability, dual-zone climate control, the original first aid kit, and more. The included Carfax report shows 19 service records and the current owner has had a considerable amount of maintenance performed including valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, coils, and wires, a rear window regulator, new drive belt and pulleys, new cabin and air filters, and an oil service.

The car is finished in Glacier/Neve White (143) and features a power-operated glass sunroof with tilt function, headlight wipers, a power antenna, and dual-pane insulated side windows. A new right side headlamp assembly was installed under the seller’s care and all exterior features are noted to work as intended. The carfax report shows an accident reported in 2022 with no noticeable signs of paintwork. The nose of the car shows some rock chips and two small dents noted in the rear passenger door. Detailed photos of the car can be seen in the gallery.
Stock 16” wheels wear Kumho Solace tires measuring 235/60 at all four corners with 2021 date codes shown. The car is equipped with Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), and stopping power is provided by anti-lock four-wheel disc brakes.

Amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, soft-close doors and trunk, power-adjustable heated front seats with memory, an electrically adjustable steering column, and new carpet floor mats.

@morgej Everything that's power operated functions properly.
The description says all exterior features work but does not mention the interior features? How does the radio, HVAC, power / heated seats, power windows, power mirrors, sunroof, etc work?
