car spent it’s entire life in virginia. underbody is clean consequently. paint is dull, may be able to polish up with some work, I never bothered. there are two tiny spots of rust that have formed, one by the cowl under the hood, the other in the channel of the trunk (both pictured below).

S52 E30s are dope. Not a bad price, would be super fun. This would be so much more fun than my A4.
