The seller states that the A/C is inoperable and the rear windows do not operate smoothly.

The naturally-aspirated 2.4-liter OM616 diesel inline-four drives the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The timing chain, water pump, thermostat, and engine mounts were reportedly replaced in the last year.
