Disclosures/Issues:

-Air conditioning doesnt currently work. I had it charged when the car was initially done in 2011, and it worked well for years. There is some dye that appears to be coming from the rear of the compressor (where the lines attach). Its possible this was just a leak. Replacing the o-rings and recharging may fix this.

Unfortunately, the dye is somewhat corrosive. The portion of the front sway bar (powder coated red) that had dye exposure has wrinkled/eroded the powder coat.

-A previous owner had smoked in the car. There is no smoke damage or smell, but a few small burns as shown in photos.
