I'd like to clarify a few things that have apparently confused bidders. First- It was the transmission fluid and the rear diff fluid that was changed prior to sale. The transmission in the car is original and has never been out. Second- The date codes for the tires are shown in the photos if enlarged. Admittedly they are not real legible but they are there. FYI the codes are- DOT EMVN JKF 4815.If I am reading these codes correctly the tires, Bridgestone Potenzas, were manufactured in November or December of 2015. I installed them locally in September,2017 at 31708 miles on the car. So they have roughly 7000 miles on them. Next the car comes with a few items not listed originally. I have and have used a set of tan/black cloth seat covers since December,2019. These were removed prior to the auction photos do display the seats themselves .Also there is a car cover about 8-9 years old which I've used though the car was always garaged.The car was purchased In Santa Barbara, California and has been serviced and spent its entire life in this area.
