Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Auto ollut itsellä päivittäisessä ajossa 4kk ajan ja ei ole ollut mitään moitittavaa ja on toiminnut moitteettomasti. Ei kilise eikä kolise mistään Jotain naarmuja / kiveniskemiä löytyy sieltä täältä. Etupuskurin oikealla puolella isompi naarmu, mutta ei klommoa.

Pientä laitettavaa löytyy:

jarrupalat pitäisi vaihtaa, huoltovalo siihen palaa, mutta jarrut pelittää normaalisti. Tuulilasissa noin 20cm halkeama ja vasemman takaoven ikkuna moottorissa joku vika kun ei aukea. Takakontin/takaikkunan välissä maalipinta vähän alkanut lähtemään ja vasemman takarenkaan kaaressa pientä ruostetta. Huoltokirja löytyy . Kesä rekailla ajaa pari kesää ja nasta renkailla ajaa monta talvea. 1x avain
