Thanks @RIAMG
@Heretowin54 The hydraulic cylinders have not been replaced during our time with the vehicle. They were most recently used to get photos with the hard top removed, and functioned properly.
@Heretowin54 The soft top is believed to be original and shows typical wear for its age, it has not been replaced during my ownership. The photos accurately represent its current condition. I’ve owned the car since early 2023. As shown on the Carfax, the vehicle has had multiple owners over its lifetime. No issues related to ownership history have come up during my time with the car.
@bennyblanx Yes. The A/C does blow cold and the previous seller incuded a recipt stating the system was recharged in 2022.
@dcook All 4 tires read about 10-12mm in tread depth. During our 3 years with the vehicle we have added only 2,000 miles to the vehicle, the brakes have preformed well and have not squealed. In this time I have not replaced the rotors or pads. The vehicle did not arrive with a Windstop or Tookit. Besides the already addressed collant leak have not noticed any since. The following manufacturer manuals and booklets are included: Owners Manual Owners service and warranty information Maintence Booklet Original Radio Operation Guide SRS Sytem Booklet and a folder of receipts and paperwork that has been passed down with the vehicle
@Heretowin54 Thanks for the question! The only leak that developed under our time with the car was coolant, which was resolved when we replaced the radiator along with a full coolant flush. The vehicle is stored indoors in a climate controlled facility on a trickle charger, and we have not noticed any leaks since the oil change/coolant flush service. As for the light, occasionally on startup after a long rest we get a BAS/ESP light. From what we know, this is fairly common and goes away after turning the steering wheel full turn in each direction.
@mjohans9 Let me check with my fleet manager as I am out of town. If it’s allowed, Leave your email or social handle so he can coordinate with you.
@ayso I am uploading photos of the undercarriage now. The hyraulic ciliders have not been replaced during our time with the vehicle. They were most recently used to get photos with the hard top removed, and functioned properly. Thanks!
This example does not have heated seats. Thank you for the listing correction @thembmarket
