One owner since Feb 2005. when we bought this from Auotowest Chrysler in the Roseville automall. It was a previous service loaner and was immaculate. It has since been my daily driver for 10 years. It has never been in any kind of accident at all, and outside of a scrape from a shopping cart on the front left bumper, and a little tiny ding from a fence post on the back right bumper, and a clearcoat key scratch on the back left door the body is cool. As for the mechanical side of things.. Outside of an alternator and water pump replacement and a few minor dealership visits the car has been so solid. We once had a small dent in back door that was repaired and all handled by insurance shop... I have never had any major problems with this car until now and it has never been dogged on or roughed up, pretty much babied it from day one. So about 3 weeks ago, the car sprung a leak in part of the water pump system where the bleeder valve housing is and had it towed to the shop. They replaced the full water valve system that day. I also have a service to vehicle and had them do a smog check because we were going to sell car it was getting to be time and after putting new battery, new tires, wipers, and window motors I felt that the costs would start to pile up. Well, they replaced all the EGR valves and passed CA smog on 9/26. THE AMOUNT OF $865 WAS PAID (RECEIPT SHOWN IN PICTURES) Took it home and no problem whatsoever, car was running 100% normal. Drove the car to work for next 2 weeks as normal. On my way home Thursday night I felt a racing feeling in the engine, and then when I stopped at the next light I heard a whine and felt a clunk, pulled over let the car idle while I turned off the radio and listened to the engine outside, hears loud ticking, thought it might be tranny or something so shut the car off and towed it home. Called the repair shop and asked what it could be, they couldnt guess over the phone and was adamant it had nothing to do with the repairs they just did (202 miles on the odometer since repair) so the shop sent a mechanic over to take a look. After about 10 minutes of looking and listening he drove the car to the end of the block and back and came back and said he thinks its in the bottom of the engine, and feels that the bearings at the very least need to be looked at and they would have to pull the pan and diagnose and replace at a cost of minimum $500 for just looking and as much as $1500 or more to fix it. So I'm done, we went and bought a new Challenger on Saturday and now this is up for sale as is. Here is what you get. You get the car in the pictures. Exactly how you see it.
