@JeffroB – looks like the tire date codes are from the latter part of 2005, so 19 year old tires with some cracks in the side walls --guess that rules out a 500 mile trip to drive her home . . Other than a new set a tires anything else that would make that drive hazardous? and I didn't see any videos of the car actually running or driving; did I miss them or are they not part of the auction? ...
The car runs and drives perfect and everything works as it should.

@22lord22 – Are the windshield wipers operational? ...
Good morning the windshield wipers are in the trunk removed for a cleaner look. the current owner has never used them because this vehicle isn't driven in the rain. as far as the motor function he believes it is functional.
