I can assure you it wasn't like that when I bought it. It was parked under a tree and hadn't turned a wheel in nearly a year, so was covered in gunge. I borrowed a polisher and got stuck in. To be honest there's lots needing done on the outside, whereas inside, it's immaculate. It has the dreaded heater problems, and also, hopefully, a minor steering problem, but all in all it's in good nick for a 19 year old car
