Yes, heat and AC work.
The crank really helps with a bit more ummph of torque. I'll miss it. A lot. I really enjoy driving it.
Rust - underneath it looks great, and the usual troublespots, jack points and bumper mounts are fine. Once of the pics show the very minor rust happening in the rear wheel wells.
My commute is 3 miles each way and I usually coerce my wife to let me take her car when its snowing. Honestly, the rust is superficial and very minor.
My pics suck, I know, I plan to take more. It was -20 this weekend so I wasn't up for going outside. Now its 52, raining and blowing a stink. A 70 degree swing in 2 days. Welcome to NE.
Pricing it was a challenge and its negotiable. I had to start somewhere.
