Auto
Pearl white
91,000km
No accident history
Driver's airbag
Cruise control
Traction control
Climate control
Power windows
Power steering
Power seats
Power steering column
Sunroof
ABS brakes
Keyless entry
Aftermarket front lip spoiler
Aftermarket side skirts
Aftermarket rear wing
BBS 17 inch wheels

EXTERIOR:
Overall good
Side skirts and lower lip spoiler is not a perfect colour match.
Some small marks on the rear bumper, not bad
Headlights are clear
scrape to front left bumper lower lip spoiler
Scratches to front left bumper upper corner
Scratches on lower right part of front lip
Wheels ok, not badly scratched
Tail lights ok

INTERIOR:
Good condition, no real wear to the seats, steering wheel or shifter
Seats are very slightly dirty
Small mark to the wood panel that surrounds the shifter
Boot is clean
Electrics ok
Sunroof works ok
Power steering ok
Where the rear wing mounts to the boot the metal mounts have rusted. The rust colour has transfered to the water channels where the quarter panels join the boot, it looks a bit poor but I think with a cutting compound you should be able to get most of the discolouration off and it will come up fine
Carpet a little dirty
Small stain on rear seat, but not bad

ENGINE BAY:
Looks good, no fluid leaks could be seen
No oil leak around the PCV valve
Looks like somone spilled some oil when topping it up, but must have been a long time ago, barely noticeable
Coolant looks fine
Oil looks like it's been changed recently, it's quite clean
Battery looks new-ish
Various stickers in the cabin and engine bay show maintenance work done at 59,000km in 2002 (regular service), 69,000km in 2004 (Auto trans fluid + other stuff), 72,000km in 2004 (brake fluid + other stuff), so it looks very likely that the mileage is genuine

UNDERBODY:
No problems I could see, it was very dark and kneeling on the wet ground kind of sucked but I couldn't see any rust or issues

OVERALL:
I think it's above average... quite a nice car. I think really the only imperfection of note are the scratches to the front lip spoiler, and even then they don't draw that much attention. Otherwise appears to be a well looked after car.
