Missing left and right lower front snap in black grid gills. Easy to replace. About 16.00 each.

I would be careful with dealer cars. If they cannot show you the maintenance history, move on. I prefer buying directly from owners because you can ask them questions directly. In a short time you will be able to tell if they really loved the car, and invested in the maintenance.

What I've done in the past is called dealers in the area that the car is located, and have the service department search the VIN to check service hisory. The usually can't give you copies of the records due to privacy issues, but a friendly service advisor can go through the history and give you an idea of what has been done.

And since you live in the area that the car is located, they are even more inclined to assist you in hopes to earn your business as a future customer. Good luck!
