Description from the seller, in Finnish.

VAIN VIESTIT EI SOITTOJA!!! Kiinnostuksen loputtua myyntiin tämä yksilö, puolat ja tulpat juuri vaihdettu ja toimi päivän normaalisti tämän jälkeen, autossa palaa moottorin vikavalo ja auto ei kierrä kunnolla, eikä siinä ole tehoja. Aiemmin nollaamalla vikakoodit vika poistunut, nyt ei kuitenkaan enää, eikä kiinnosta selvittää mistä johtuu. Ilmastointi toimii, muttei puhalla kylmää. Autoon vaihdettu ja tehty sitä sun tätä, kiinnostuneelle voin luetella tarkemmin. Peruutusvalot ei toimi, putkessa reikä tmv pörinästä päätellen. Käsijarruvalo palaa kokoajan anturin takia. Vanha auto ja löytyy naarmua ja kolhua sieltä täältä, ruosteenalut kuskin ja hanttarin ovien helmoissa. Autossa hyvät kesä ja nastarenkaat mukaan. Lisävalo ei kuulu kauppaan!
