Also all the wheat stalks and dust hitting the under skirting has worn off all the paint. but if u polish it, it doesnt look as bad.the interior is in pretty good nick considering - when I got it the inside was trashed - oil stains, diesel, dust - u name it, it was in there! So I took it in and got the interior drycleaned - I had 4 guys there scrubing it...I got my moneys worth needless to say that we've gotten our moneys worth and I'm now 22 so its time to move on - I order the T tomorrow! cant wait!!!

Likewise - as it stands now. Once I sorted out the electrical issues after delivery, no problems.
