Body is in good condition. One very small ding in passenger door. There are however a few trim pieces that I noticed were broken. Can these be replaced. The horizontal strips across the grill. Two of them are broken. Also one of the "clips" between the seats is broken. Can I buy these? My one other concern is the owner tells me that he has never replaced the brakes. 71000 miles on original brakes? Shouldn't it need new brakes by now? Here are a few photos of the trim. I would appreciate any advice
Is he the original owner? I doubt it, brakes do not last that long, so they could have been replaced by previous owner(s).
Grilles can be purchased on eBay sometimes, the clip could be got from a wreck and the wheels need refinishing professionally.
too many miles? Wait for another one or get the price down.
