Service since 2022 included replacing braking and suspension components along with the radiator, fuel pump, power steering pump, water pump, thermostat, and various belts.

The car is finished in Seafoam Green Metallic and features a power-operated sunroof, a power antenna, dual exhaust outlets, and bright window and bumper trim. The Carfax report includes a “minor to moderate damage” notation in February 2024, which the seller states was caused by a collision with a deer and resulted in repairs to the right-front fender.

The 16″ aftermarket wheels are mounted with Michelin tires. The car was equipped from the factory with a self-leveling hydraulic rear suspension. Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel discs. The rear brake pads and rotors were replaced in 2022, and the front tie rods were replaced in 2024.

The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline as well as an analog clock and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and instant fuel economy. The six-digit odometer shows 100k miles, approximately 26k of which were added under current ownership.
