This car has had a pretty easy life since I've owned it, sans the deer damage. I bought it about five years ago and since then it's been driven to NYC and back once. Otherwise it's gets driven about three or four months out of the year. The speed sensor went out on that trip to NYC so the exact milage isn't known. It reads 77515 and the title reads 76055. I would guess that it has considerably less than 100,000 on it, I just wanted to give a liberal estimate. As far as it's good qualities go, it still runs great. It's never let me down or stranded me and it fires right up and goes down the road. The tires are all just about new, the power locks and moon roof work, it has some euro additions that I didn't do, or like for that matter but they might interst other people. These include Neuspeed short shift kit, stabilizer bar, and two inch drop springs. It is the five speed, so no tranny worries to speak of. Now the bad; it has front end damage from a deer incident last winter. Nothing mechanical just physical as you can see. The hood, pass. fender, pass. headlight and windshield all have pretty heavy damage. The clear coat is also starting to peel, and it has a couple of rust spots. Since it has been sitting since motorcycle weather (per the usual) the battery went to sleep. I tried to trickle charge it but it's dead, so it needs a battery, oh and it's do for an oil change. Otherwise it's mechanically sound. Bring a battery and drive it home. I've recently taken it on a three hundred mile round trip and it still goes great. It isn't going to win any shows but it will be a good cheap efficient car for somebody. I recently replaced the rear left wheel bearing and double plated the front motor mount as these have tendency to eat them. Those were the only two issues it had. Bring a battery and drive it home. Thanks for looking. NOTE: THERE IS NO LIEN ON THIS CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REPORT IS FINDING BUT THERE IS NO LIEN AGAINST ME, AND I COULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR IF THERE WAS A LIEN AGAINST THE PREVIOUS OWNER. NO WORRIES.
