The only other option on these in the USA in 1998 was rain sensing wipers, I believe.

On a cold start does the car vibrate a good amount? How about during cold mornings, any issues with the transmission not wanting to shift until it warms up? November 12th, 2021 at 11:22am ESTpeter (29) Seller 1@99amgc43 HI good morning, hope you're well...I have been a good steward of this car...it has brought me joy...and sharp eyes who notice what it really is, will walk up to me at gas stations and parking lots and knowingly nod, or give a "thumbs up" ....these are the intangible things about owning certain automobiles that make it so much fun...so few of these C43's around...November 12th, 2021 at 11:18am ESTpeter (29) Seller 1@xrayok HI, good morning I hope you're well...I have now posted pix of the new headliner, and of the driver's seat, showing it's great condition...cheers, PNNovember 12th, 2021 at 11:07am EST99amgc43 (3) 0I had a 99 version back in the day, hence the SN...

Any pictures you could add to show if it's good or sagging? Also, a better picture showing more of the driver's seat - seat bottom specifically? Nice to see the detailed service history and rust free undercarriage.November 10th, 2021 at 5:44pm ESTpeter (29) Seller 0@Nocavitation HI I hope you're well...I have occasionally over the years had the A/C serviced...at the same time, I have hardly used the A/C over the years as, living on Central Coast, it is 65F degrees in the summer fog here most summers.......I had it (A/C) serviced this year earlier I believe...it's probably in the records I included here...also, I don't know about VIN tags on bumper I can check...the car has always always been garaged overnight, and in the day, kept in shade 95% of the time...have worked hard to keep out of the sun...there have been some smaller paint repairs for tree sap on hood, door dings...the car has never needed a repaint though, the paint looks really good, the UV rays were held at bay!......I replaced front bumper with factory new bumper in a recent year, because of the parking lot concrete bumpers that
