Many problems when traded. Brake booster going out. Internal seals are a common problem. Never sorted out electrical issues. Windows don't work, radio works occasionally. Never did fix the condenser. It had too many other issues to worry about the A/C working. Coolant disappearing, no idea how. The exhaust needed replacing, too, but it made it sound like a "dual-exhaust" and wasn't too loud.
