Vehicle Detail
I bought this car from my brother 5 years ago and it has been my reliable commuter car ever since. He had it for several years. I do not know the previous history of the car. A few details: I get a little over 40 mpg on my commute which is about one third freeway and the rest city streets. My brother told me he once got 55 mpg out cruising on the freeway. The stereo is a Clarion AM/FM radio and CD player. The upholstery is a blueish-gray with a little color pattern which you can see in the photos. Upholstery and carpet is all in good condition. The driver and passenger seats are in good condition as shown in the photos. The Hawaiian seat covers are there for some variety of color, not because of any problems. The original shelf that goes over the luggage compartment behind the rear seat is missing. A car cover is included. This is a very basic car. No power windows or door locks. No cruise control or interval wipers. No rear window defroster. No air conditioning. Other than the 90,000 mile service and oil changes it's never required any service since I got it. I did get new tires for it just before 90,000 miles. They're nothing fancy. Just the most economical thing Goodyear had. The only problems are: Small dent on the right side ahead of the door. One of those quickie dent removal places can probably take care of this. A few little nicks on the door edges. Small scrape in the paint below the drivers door. The upholstery could use cleaning. Some of the fake plastic "lug nuts" on the wheel covers are gone. Sorry everyone. Somebody did a "Buy it Now" then cancelled their eBay account.
