I bought this car from the first original owner (the owners report will show 2 previous owners as he originally leased it through his company then bought it in his name) and it is in nice running condition. The former owner had spent more than $15000 on it in the last few years and I have also maintained it carefully spending over $3000 myself to make sure everything works. This work has included: 2006 - head gasket2008 - rear suspension accumulator and cruise control module2009 - resealed transmission; new fuel distributor; repaint in its original charcoal black2015 - replaced a/c condenser and compressor; four new tires ( Michelin); new underbonnet hood pad; replaced centre link and rear sway bars. You can see from the pictures that I have a thick file of invoices etc. I use the car everyday and I am only selling because I am moving to Rio with my job. Minus points: slight play in the steering (though I understand this is common for these cars); small blemish on interior driver's side door ledge; small cut in passenger seat; superficial marks in bodywork. The indicated mileage is about 4000 miles short as the odometer stopped working for about a year and I replaced the gears to get it working (the mileage will increase as I use it everyday). Cash on collection only and the car is advertised elsewhere so I may withdraw it at any time.

I will not have time to repair it so car is sold as isOn Jul-29-15 at 08:22:31 PDT, seller added the following information: Have now diagnosed the climate control issue. It works fine on Min (blowing lots of cold air) and fine on Max. The issue is with the sensor - it is working intermittently when you set a temperature that is not Min or Max. The small noise I heard is coming from the motor for the sensor - the noise does not happen when the setting is on Min or Max.
