What the vehicle is still lacking:
The engine will need a bottom end rebuild within the next 30-40,000 miles (compression across all eight cylinders is within 5%.) with cylinders 1 & 8 burning slight oil so we have put in non-foulers. I was planning on upgrading the AC system (currently nonfunctioning). SRS light on (generally a simple fix). Some minor interior repairs i.e. small lights and plastic covers. It also needs a trunk seal ($25.00) and the soft top panel cover seal ($35.00). The plan was to also paint door jams and engine bay when I was going to do the engine rebuild (so that still needs to be done). The Radio is an Alpine pop out with an external amplifier (The radio operates but the LCD does not). Two new windshield washer nozzles ($15.00)
