Engine in excellent condition. Just did oil/filter change. Does not use any oil between changes. No smoke from tailpipe. Just installed new spark plugs. Installed last year: catalytic converter ($1000.) tie rod ends, master & slave cylinders. The clutch works fine except the syncro on first gear is gone, meaning you can only shift into first from complete standstill and second grinds a little above 24mph. I cleaned out the EGR plate and valve last year. The IMA battery was reconditioned 3/10 by Hybrid Battery Repair in Staten Island (defunct). It works well except in the hot weather lately it has been doing a recal every 50-100 miles. A rebuild is anywhere from $800-$1500. Fabric car cover included. The exterior is above average for a 12 year old car. There are some very minor chips, dings & scratches as you can see in the photos. The interior dash bezel is cracked. No idea why. That's how I got it. A grid charger is installed. There are some left over bolts & clips of course which you can install at your leisure. MIMA was installed at one time but I sold it because I didn't want to be bothered with tinkering with it while I drove. The Kumho Eco Solus tires have about 10k miles on them, rated for 80k. Just rotated them. I'm the third owner. I'll include a window tint kit minus the passenger side window which I melted in my inept attempt to install it. There is a small hole in drivers seat as you can see in the picture. Mileage: Low 60s highway mpg; 50mpg city. This is the highest mileage car ever built. To this day no car can match it. Perfect commuter/city car. To find out more: MIMA Insight Central Except as noted all systems function as expected. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere including cross country. It's registered and insured and I'm using it daily until sold so the mileage will be slightly higher.

The carpet near the clutch pedal is worn thru. The drivers floor mat is missing, replaced by black generic. The mileage at this time is 210,952. Some additional pics:
