5-speed manual transmission. This is a 13 year old vehicle that is definitely not perfect, but should still have a lot of miles in it. Would be a great first vehicle or gas-miser toy if you need something to be easy on the wallet with gas. Have had this vehicle for about 3 years and have now replaced with a truck so we need to move this one down the road. It is a 5-speed manual, gets great gas mileage; usually 23 mpg in town, better on highway. Equipped with a Draw-Tite 2" hitch receiver and has pulled a 6x10 enclosed cargo trailer with no problem. Front wheel bearings replaced two years ago. Dash board and all interior plastic solid with no cracks. Great little vehicle to put some miles on. Plenty of cargo room with back seat up or folded down. Vehicle being sold AS IS. Please contact us if you would like to view in person prior to auction end. Down payment of $200 via PayPal due within 24 hours of auction close. Balance due cash, cashier's check or money order when vehicle picked up.

We have now been burned by a buyer and only wish to deal with the many honorable folks we know to be on eBay. Q: How well does it run? Does it drive good? Are there any mechanical problems? Feb-25-14 A: Has been aligned along with new front wheel bearings in the last two years. Drives and handles very well. Does have a small oil leak, takes around 2 qts between oil changes. Usually starts on first crank but occasionally the starter grinds and have to turn ignition off and go again but never have to continue to crank on it, fires right up. When starting in extremely cold weather, engine runs at high idle until warmed up. Runs smooth but will idle a little low at times and need a tap on the accelerator. All power locks and windows work well. Radio, CD, Tape player fully functional. Pretty good shape for age and mileage.
