Default '96 es coach edition

Need help how to post pics. I'm done cleaning the leather seats...not so satisfied maybe bec the cracks are too deep alrdy. But i guess lexol leather cleaner made it a little softer. Drilled holes on the bumper too. Too lazy to try the alternative solutions.

A/c fixed too. I was hoping it just needed a freon charge...but unfortunately i have to pay $380 to change the expansion valve. Is it really that expensive? BTW i paid $3800 for the car. Is it a good buy? The previous owner is not sure if the timing belt n water has been replaced. It has almost 136K now. Can i do the inspection myself? Would appreciate a step-by-step process.

Tnx again and would post some pics as soon as i figure it out!

A/C expansion valve is indeed a very expensive part. Unfortunately that's one of the risks an owner is going to take when purchasing a 10+ yr old vehicle.

As far as posting pics, please refer to the info here.
