Autossa on ikäisekseen normaalia ruosteen alkua ulkopelleissä. Ruostekohdat ovat vielä korjattavissa, eikä kyse ole läpimädästä autosta. Plussat Katsastettu 15.7.2026 + Turbon kaikki tiivisteet uusittu juuri + Määräaikaishuolto tehty + Katsastusta varten uusittu takajarruletkut sekä eteen vasen alatukivarsi + Vähäkulutteinen +Siisti sisusta puol nahka Miinukset

  • Tuulilasissa korjauskehotus
  • Takalasien tummennukset edellisen omistajan/kylänsepän tekemät, jälki ei ole paras mahdollinen
