The ac is intermittent. There is a separate ac unit in the very back that you turn on by hand back there. (An afterthought I assume) it was rarely used. It seems to be just fine. The driver side window works fine. The driver side has become disconnected. The back windows are not power. The power steering pump is whining. Never been replaced. Everything else works well for 166,000 miles. It’s always had its oil changes and tuneups done accordingly. The rust issue is minimal and is only a problem on the back driver side wheel well. Very fixable. I’ll attach a picture.
