Firstly, this vehicle is extremely reliable and has been maintained rigorously. I am the third owner, the first being an older woman from Florida who owned it to about 60,000 miles, then my friend bought it and maintained it well to 100,000 miles. I have owned the car for about 7 months and haven't used it much. I am more of a 4cyl compact car kind of guy, and I am ready to sell it to someone who wants solid transportation. I've always replaced anything the garage recommends and the previous owner (my friend) did the same. I have provided a copy of the recent 4 month service performed by my garage in the pictures. Although not an all inclusive list, these are some of the maintenance records I could get a hold of for the vehicle. Keep in mind although some oil changes are listed here, it does not include all oil changes performed on the vehicle, and the oil HAS been changed every 3000 miles on this vehicle.

There are no leaks. Tires are at about 80%. All fluids have been filled and filters have been replaced. I have a nice Sony sound deck installed that gives the car good sound, also it allows you to play music by syncing your Iphone/Ipod Touch or similar device via bluetooth. You can easily sync your phone to this device as well for hands free communication. Issues: There is a cosmetic issue with the paint on the hood. There is no body damage, and this vehicle has never been in an accident (that I am aware of). The original paint was faded and I sanded it down with the intention of repainting it, but it never happened. The hood simply needs to be repainted if the issue is to be resolved. Maaco gave me an estimate of $200 to fix it. The cigarette tray does not close, you can see how it stays in the open position from the interior pictures. It does not look bad open, but could be taped shut. A new tray would need to be installed to fix this issue. Other than that this car is in excellent shape!
