I am listing this for my niece. She Purchased vehicle new and has driven it daily since. It has recently developed a strange problem. When starting engine cold it idles very rough and does not respond to gas pedal. Once warmed up, it idles smooth and accelerates well under load but when you let off to change gears the tach falls to zero and the engine acts like it is going to die. Once you change gears and step back on the gas, engine picks up and accelerates fine. Engine seems to do fine at cruising speeds except when you let off of gas pedal then the same thing happens. When car is out of gear it idles fine but if you step on gas to rev it up, it will not maintain steady RPMs. It just cycles up and down. She took it to a local independent garage who replaced cam and crank sensors. Problem was not solved. While it was in the garage she decided to purchase a new car and not pursue repair of this one any further. Interior is fair with some seat and carpet stains and a small tear in drivers seat. All are visible in pictures.Stereo/CD player, All windows, Power Mirrors, AC work great.Non Smoker.Grill trim is missing as a result of a minor collision. All damage is visible in pictures.
