My wife and I have had this car for 3 years and she has been driving it the whole time. For work, my wife takes care of two young kids and always drove them around in this car so it is very safe and we have always taken great care of this car. We have a very close personal friend who is a mechanic so we always had him look at it, and we had him replace anything he suggested so we ensured the car had many new parts on it as you'll see by the list of what we had installed new. We recently bought a new car in June and are just getting around to selling this one. The interior is in great condition, and no one ever smoked in this car. The exterior is in really good condition, although it is a 1997 which naturally has weathering since it is 13 years old. The clutch is brand new and it feels and drives really well. The brakes are also new, we had those replaced 9 months ago but have not driven the car inthe past 3 months. We also purchased a spare set of all-season tires for winter and we only put those on in the winter so they have limited wear on them, but they cost us $500 for the set and since they come with the car you get a steal. And this car is great in the snow. New parts include: Clutch (as mentioned) Brakes (as mentioned) Shocks and struts (replaced late 2009, our mechanic said to so we did) Catalytic converter (replaced early 2010, our mechanic said to so we did) All-season tires only driven on for 1 winter It really is a great car. With so many new parts it runs great, plus the spare tires make it an incredible value compared to other cars out there. It is such a great car we've not listed it before because we know when it snows we'd love to have it, but it doesn't make sense for us to have three cars and 2 drivers. I will add that since I posted this I saw the VIN report showing it was repo'd in 2003, and just to be clear that was years ago under a previous owner. We bought this car outright in cash and hold the title. You see that the report is pristine clean since we've owned it in 2007. Whomever wins this car will love this car. Paypal deposit required after winning, and then full payment via PayPal or Cash in person upon pick-up. We are alwaysavailable to sign the title over to complete this transaction.

Also, I will be adding a photo of the engine later tonight.
