The t-belt is a big item for many people, so that's good.

One thing I don't like about older cars is a pitted windshield.
Not cracks or big chucks missing, but lots of little pits that
glare when you drive into the sun. Not a big item, but when I
replaced the windshield on my 200 TQ, it was like driving a new
car.

Maybe you can use it as a bargaining chip.
