Priced off this model: Intake manifold.
Panel reads for other models: Kia Sorento, Lincoln Continental, Lincoln Mark VIII, Mercury COMET.
Condition here is a photo read by a model, adjudicated by a second model: 1.0% false-good on agreed panels versus the adjudicator. It is not an inspection, nobody has laid hands on these cars, and a panel that reads good can still be cracked behind the bumper cover. Brakes, steering, airbags, pretensioners and seatbelts are never tiered here at all.
