There are a few cosmetic issues: scratch on drivers side from being hit by a drunk driver, slight rusting, and the exhaust pipe fell off in March 2010. I had it checked out and was told it is completely drivable. There are no fumes that come into the car. The gas gage also only goes half way. I have had the reader in the tank replaced and have come to the conclusion it is probably a wiring issue from the tank to the gage in the car.
This is a well maintained bus in excellent mechanical condition, and has the sunroof option, although the cable mechanical system needs to be repaired for it to open. It is an amazing car and I really want to find a great owner who will take good care of it.
