The muffler is rusted through, the paint on the bumper by the taillights is rusted and chipping off. I was never rearender. My driver window won't go down, because the switch went out. The other windows stick but are ok for now. The trunk leaks constantly when it rains, I have tried to seal it but it didn't work. My master cylinder just went out and my brakes were not working properly.
