“I am the sole owner of this vehicle purchased in 2006. This vehicle has not been involved any crashes minor or major. Interior and exterior condition would be considered excellent, except what is noted below. Broken latch plate plastic covers to the passenger side and middle seats. The belts for these seats will slide at will, move freely and not prevent the occupant from going up or forward in a vehicle crash. Bottom-line, my mutli-passenger vehicle is only safe for the driver to occupy. I have multiple pictures of these belts if requested.”
