Smoke-free car. This car was used by my wife to go back and forth to work. It was very carefully maintained. In 3 years we had NO mechanical issues. Interior in reasonably good condition. Large cargo area in the rear. Nice sunroof. Various flaws: Rear driver door will not open at all. Passenger front window will not roll down at all. Will need tires within 5000 miles or so. Radio antenna broken, but sound system does work. Paint has weather wear in places, but mostly good. Cruise controls cracked (on steering wheel), but still work. Electric door locks sometimes stick, but always open after a couple of clicks on the remote. Engine has 180000 miles on it, but still dependable. Front end shakes a little at higher speeds (over 60). Never had it checked out. It was like that when I bought it and have had no problems in spite of it. Normal dings and scratches for a car this age and mileage. Driver seat has some cracks in the seat, but not bad. NADA values at $2500. Kelly Blue Book at $2504 for "fair" condition. It's at least a fair condition.
