Car runs and can be driven but burns oil fairly quickly, we got the car from my sister in March of this year 2013, we had it checked by mechanic and was told all was good except it needed shocks struts so we got new Monroe struts shocks combo put on so we had our mechanic put them on and then we got 4 new Firestone tires (so tires are literally like new they were driven on for about 6 weeks and then the car sat in the driveway), my son drive it for about 6 weeks and then one day it started marking a noise while he was driving to work, we checked and there was no oil, apparently he let it get to low (being a newby driver he ignored the low oil light and yes we made sure he knows how to check and maintain the oil now :-) and one of the center heads cracked in the engine, we bought a rebuild it kit here on ebay and my ex bro-in-law rebuilt engine (he has done 5 other engines perfectly) but something went wrong because it is still burning oil, he is no longer around to redo it we looked into getting it fixed but the labor cost is so much for us it wasn't worth it so this would be a perfect car for a mechanic or someone who knows about engines and can do the labor themselves or good car for parts. The other issues that is known is with the gas gauge works sometimes and not sometimes so it is not reliable, a mechanic told us that because my sister drove on low fuel too often caused gauge to mess up but I don't know for sure what the problem was we just kept track of the miles when we filled up at the pump, finally the muffler is also loose needs a new holding bracket and finally the rear view mirror bottom is starting to wear (see photo close up).Battery good was bought within the last year or so, brakes have plenty of life left, transmission seems to have no issues runs smoothly and new flex pipe installed on exhaust.The car appearance is a little rough here and there, there are scratches, paint chips, white paint rubs and dents on hood and a crack near the back passenger doors lower edge, the back bumper and passenger side along the door has a good size dent (my sister learned to drive in this car so,,, see all photos for best description) and the trunk lid is a different color but functions. Inside is good but there is a small tear in the headliner above passenger seat (see photo fingernail for reference of size) Needs a seriously good cleaning, good work or beater car once repaired. Comes with 1 OEM key and 1 replacement key that was made from the dealer. It has manual locks and windows. I am going to put up a video of the car running as well so bidders can see/hear the car and may be able to identify the problem by hearing it. Low mileage for the year of car. Since I am not a mechanic and I am not sure the problem is Being sold *AS IS* for repair or parts!!
