Priced off this model: Diesel injection pump (CP3/CP4/VP44).
Panel reads for other models: Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Passat, Acura MDX, Buick Enclave.
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.
