4) Rear trunk lid damaged due to having to be forced open,spare undamaged trunk lid to come with car. Trunk does close ( Was open in pictures).Unfortunately she stored some items that needed to be taken out of the trunk, nd no one could find the key so they damaged the trunk trying to get it opened.Fortunately the keys were found and a spare trunk lid does come withthecar, nd damage between the taillights is easily repaired.

6) Dash has a few cracks
7) Gauge cluster in OK condition, un faded by the California sun.

9) Front bumper missing guards and has been slightly tweaked. Its hard to see in the pictures.
10) Rear Bumper slightly tweaked but again hard to see in the pictures.
Garage KeptOpel Mantasin this condition don't come along often anymore.Especiallythose that have solid battery boxes, nd no frame damage. Those are getting exceedingly rare. The few that can still be found in this condition are in the California and the Southwest, nd have a lot of sun damage to the interior. Add to that getting one to the East Coast can cost upwards of a $1000.
