Actual mileage can be retrieved from the computer. The sun will make the seat leather hard.

There should be a timing sticker in the engine bay, replacement at 70K or less, and yes, it needs another one because of age.

If the tranny fluid is very dark, it might be a bad sign. The rear wiper is probably frozen, that can be fixed.

The blower working on high only is probably due to a bad rehostat, about $100, or one from a junk yard. If the car has electronic climate control, blower speed does not have numbers, then there are codes to check what is wrong.

Do not expect the AC to work, it has probably leaked all of its r134a. A charge might make it work for a while.

ALL fluids need to be changed.

The parking brake probably has the linkage rusted inside the drum. Easy fix or replace with new.

Safety probably won't care about the rear wiper, but they sure want the Ebrake to work.

Offer $1,000.
