Doesn't look like anyone's every sat in the back seats...Got it for $17k! The indy shop looked it over and only found a couple of small issues (other than this issue).

All those things you listed can be done fairly easy yourself. But... I refuse to have someone touch my cars and find mechanical work easy.
