Has it been in a collision before? Why does it have so few miles on it? Can I get a carfax report? Where are you located? Any other issues besides cosmetic and the left window? Can you roll it down at all? My answer: Thanks for your inquiry. I know you probably found answers to a few of your questions, but let me cover them just in case. 1) Any collisions? No, there has not been any collision of any kind. 2) Why such low miles? The car was purchased in Florida, and one of the two previous owners was a dual resident (snowbird, as they call the Florida winter residents) and left the car undriven for 7 months per year. This is one of the reasons you'll find Florida cars owned by semi-retirees have low mileage - and no rust, of course. 3) Can I see a CarFax report? There is a CarFax (Experian) report of the vehicle history provided free of charge. Just click the link to the report on the listing in the top section of the description box which shows the AutoCheck score. The link is titled "See the Full Vehicle History Report". 4) Where is the car? The car is parked in Cedar Grove, NJ, undriven for the time-being, as my daughter is attending college in New York city. So for all practical purposes, she doesn't need or use it much - which is the main reason for selling. 5) Any other issues with the car? All issues with the car are explained in the ebay listing. 6) Does the left window roll down at all? As for the left window, it does roll down almost fully. The likely reason why it stops a few inches from the bottom is due to the window frame vertical rubber channel behind the door panel (on the leading edge of the window frame). The same issue occurred in January, and after spraying pure silicone lube inside the rubber channel track - the problem went away. I am in Florida now, so unfortunately I can't look at or fix it. Thanks again for your interest in the car. - 3sixtyinnovations1
