Do not expect a perfect car but rather one that drive\u2019s well enough to be used while getting issues slowly addressed at the pace you want. My pace was to be over the years. In addition to what was pointed out already It will need some rust areas addressed, I believe they\u2019re mostly surface rust around 3 small areas on the windshield, some under the side cladding and the worse one the battery box I believe will need a patch. Then to be perfect probably a paint refresh. I noticed yesterday the suspension felt extra bumpy driving mother in law around town so probably needs new shocks too. Again suspension refresh has always been in the cards. The other item I was going to do is an exhaust system.
