No, that car does not have a factory TC system. If it did, you would see a module on the passenger side strut tower and the throttle body cables would run to and from it.

Whatever that is, it's not stock.

Car has factory cruise. Looks like it snakes through the area where the latch is too - no idea. I'd call them and ask. If you decide to buy the car tell'em you want the stock AC Delco battery replaced too.

but it's not YOUR car, so for whoever buys it, they get to cut it like a ribbon cutting ceremony when they buy it

Could it have to do with the windshield washer fluid pump? Maybe... Mine does not have it either.

What is the black thing the tube is connected to? Looks like it has a throttle cable or something attached to it? I am going to call them later today.
