I went to look at it today. 157K original owner, always garaged,

The good:
Almost no rust- only spot is golf ball size rust on drivers rear wheel well where tire slings debris onto. under carriage clean with no rust, jack points no rust, floors dry, blue interior with perfect dash, wood trims with no cracks, seats in exc condition no rips or tears, clean trunk- no water intrusion, battery tray no rust, also no rust under battery tray, tires look new, windows all work (forgot to check sunroof). Car drives and runs well, handles good and tracks straight on the hwy, transmission shifts fine through all gears.

The bad:
Car is not driven regularly in the last few years. Owner lives in Florida and car is garaged in CT and driven only when they visit CT. Fuel system had a case of algae which was cleaned out last week- tank drained new filters.

AC does not cool (converted to R134A)

There is an oil leak down the front of the engine block which looks like it is from the valve cover.

Engine oil is over filled by 1/2" on the dip stick, not sure if this contributed to the leak.

How much is the car worth?
