Exterior is a 7, the paint is dated 1994 and flaking a little here and there. Otherwise gets lots of compliments! Interior is a 5, needs a carpet kit and some of the interior is pulling away from the trim. Still presentable and looks OK. Auto Fuel STC but I use 100LL. Super clean inside the wings and empennage. Runs cool and smooth oil pressure always in the GREEN. New basic VFR instruments and avionics in 2009 after flood waters crept in. Was treated with corrosion X and still clean as a whistle inside. Not show winner but definitely a solid low time 4 seat Cessna.
