CLEAN CAR> We will miss this car! It just won't die. Call 616.566.2508 for details. I am happy to arrange for delivery of the car anywhere between Holland and Lansing along I-96 or between Lansing and Rochester Hills once payments have cleared. -Lots of little things wrong with this car and all are things you can live with if you want a trusted car from point A to point B around town.-My son is using it now 180 miles from home at college. Whats wrong with it? 1) Tail gate must be opened from interior.2) Burns oil. We change it every 3 months and top it off for free during that time at the quick change place. you will need to do this and can then anticipate reliable transportation.3) Driver door lock to access car is broken and you must lock car from passenger door. (it broke when frozen in ice storm)4) Radio/cassette works but needs code from dealer to get turned on; an easy fix we just haven't done it cause the dealer is 45 miles away.5) Must watch power steering fluid level too and we keep a bottle in the car because of leak somewhere.6) Air conditioning does not blow cold and may not work at all.7) Heater only works on the high setting and makes some noise at the level at times.8) Wiper blades for front headlights are missing.9) Rear windshield wiper dones not work.10) Driver side mirror is perfectly secured with duct tape!11) Has a few rust spots.12) The odometer broke around 281k miles and hasn't worked since.13) Engine light has been on for 150k miles; probably a thing where a mandated service thing wasn't observed. But I really don't know. This list may not be complete, but is my best assessment, and this auction is an "as is" auction and the buyer must be aware of this. Some Features: 1) Has side air bags in rear seating area2) Has 3rd seat allowing for 7 passengers ( I would fix tail gate before seating people there, however! )3) We get about 23 miles per gallon average around town.4) All power windows and locks work5) Clock works6) Has great paint and has never been waxed.7) Its a pretty clean car. With a little work you could really spiff it up. 8) Used engines can be found for this car.9) I am sure this car would continue to serve us another 5 years at our current 5-7k miles annual usage with little investment on our part.10) NON-SMOKING CAR!11) Brakes are good.12) Lights and turn signals all work.13) Tires will be fine for a while.14) The car may actually have closer to 296k-300k miles on it.15) Heated front seats16) Lighted vanity mirror17) No upholstery rips, great interior condition.18) Includes Volvo Floor Mats
