This is a very good driving car. Excellent on gas, but is still very peppy. It has a lot of leg room-even for me and I am 6'9''. I will start with the positive. I have 3 keys 2 with beepers and books. Mechanically it is very sound. The engine idols smooth. Clutch feels nice and tight. Handle like a dream. Heat works good. The thermostat light stays on until car warms up. AC is nice and cold. Goes smoothly down the road. Brakes feel good. Fresh oil change. New front tires. I have been driving it for a while now, and was not going to sell it but, it is not fair for my kids to have to sit behind me. Now with the negative-the paint shines good, but on passenger side rocker it is pushed in. The lower part of front spoiler is broken, it does not affect the fog lights. They still work. E-brake button is missing but it still works. There are a couple of scuff marks. Please see pics. The hood has a couple dents. See pics. It will need rear tires replaced soon. There are no rips or tear on the interior, but has a couple stains - 1 on armrest and 1 on backseat that may come out with a good detailing. The headliner is sagging a little, and has freed up a little around trim but not very noticeable. There is a slight clunking noise when going over bumps-almost like sway bar links. I am not 100% on that though, because whatever it is is not affecting the handling of the vehicle at all. I know from past experience that sway bar links can do that. To sum it up, it is a nice car that needs a few small things, but nothing that is going to leave you stranded or is a safety issue. I feel comfortable driving it anywhere, and with my kids in it. This is a no reserve auction. I do have the right to end this early because it is for sale locally and taking best offers so please feel free to make a offer.
