Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping.PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO GO THROUGH WITH THE TRANSACTION !!! Good Luck

I noticed a couple of things in my pictures. On the picture of the glove box that's not a dent on the right side but a reflection of the door handle. Also on the picture of the passenger side doors closed there's a little pile of leaves downin the corner of the overhead garage door that the reflection makes it looklike there's a rust hole in the back door.

I was just out cleaning the glass on the car and discoveredthe right rear quarter window does not crank open. I know it use to so I don't know if a screw fell out or something I'm not sure. Just wanted to make it known because in the listing I mentioned they all worked. The other three are functioning properly. Thanks
