Condition
The car is described by the current owner as rust-free and that the paint has been renovated in 2023. Both rear screens have been replaced due to rust and painted from rear fender to A-pillar. The work is documented. There is a small stone chip on the windshield but nothing that disturbs. Details, moldings and emblems are in fine condition with no remarks. Normal wear is in the form of stone chips, small bumps and other things expected considering age, area of use and mileage. Lighting and its functions are without remark.
The interior of the car is in good used condition. Chairs have held up well and materials are in good condition. There is minor paint loss on the driver's side support, ie. normal wear and tear from stepping in and out. However, there are no cracks or damage in the material. Door sides have usual wear from stepping in and out. Interior roof is in good condition and sits where it should. Steering wheel and buttons are in good condition without wear. Instrument panel and controls as well.
Engine and gearbox are described by the current owner as being in good condition. Leaks have not been noted from the box or engine. Brakes are also described as good. Torque clutch for XWD has been replaced and gaskets, oil and filter in the rear axle have also been replaced. It comes with an ESID3 reader that can be used to unlock more functions in the car.
