I'm the 2nd owner of this car and it has always been well maintained, I have service records from the 1st owner and all of my service records too. Also the DMV Inspection Sticker Is Good Until March 2018! I bought this car in June 2013 with 95,429 miles on it and I only used it as a 2nd car. But I stopped driving the car early this year and it has just sat in my driveway since so because I don't drive it anymore, That's why I'm sell it on Ebay. I just washed & cleaned the car and recharged the "year old" battery so I could take it for a test drive. The engine is still strong and it was running very well on the test drive, But after a few miles I the breaks went out and when I got back home I noticed some break fluid leaking in the driveway. I'm not a mechanic so I can't be sure what the problem is, but I think it's just break line. Also the ABS & Break Light in going on & off too now. Besides the problem with the breaks there are a few other minor issues with the car, The door locks are jammed so the key does not work in the locks, But the wireless key door opener works just fine to open and lock the car doors and the antenna is broken but the radio gets very good reception with the tempory antenna I attached to the car antenna stem. Also I had the transmission rebuilt a few years ago and when the car is cold you have to giggle the shifter a little when it's in drive until the car warms up, Then when it warms up the transmission works just fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a great 2nd car to have after the problem with the breaks are fixed. The car was well maintained and I did a lot of work on it, So you shouldn't have any major mechanical issues with it for years as long as you take care of the car as well as I took care of it. As A Bonus I'm Including The CHILTON REPAIR MANUAL for this Car, A New In Box FRAM EXTRA GUARD CA7365 AIR FILTER and a Set Of 6 BOSCH PLATINUM +2 SPARK PLUGS Item #4305 Still Sealed In Package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have all the service records, But I want to give you a short list of some of the work I had done and some of the parts that I've replaced since I owned the car to give a rough idea of what you shouldn't have to worry about fixing or replacing on this car.
