Interior & Exterior

Interior Notes: Vinyl seats are in great shape. New Upholstery and foam from seat frames up, side panels, and carpets with burn certificates. Rear seats look great with no rips or tears. NEW carpets are in great condition. Plastics (refinished to match upholstery) show very well. Newer glass makes visibility perfect. Interior comfort is high on the quality scale.
