The interior design is comfortable and versitile - it can seat eight passengers or fold down the some or all of the two back seat rows to carry five dogs, one emu, two bales of hay, or a whole rock band except the drums. Here are all its known and suspected defects: it has an occult coolant leak (water pump and hoses checked in March of this year) -takes about a quart of coolant each three days of regular use, does not leak when standing, NOT OVERHEATING, there is no oil present in the water and no water present (we’ve looked for “mayo”) in the oil. Worst case scenerio: the head gasket is warped.It loses (no white smoke) about a quart of oil in two thousand miles of regular use…The seat belts are shot -an anxious dog chewed them up. What was a tiny crack in the far RS of th windshield the summer before last (2009) has grown to four inches. Eventually the WS will have to be replaced. The electric door-lock makes a grating sound - this has been going on for four years -still works perfectly, just annoying. We have tried to compare the car to the Kellybluebook description -This car pretty much fits their “fair” description, but I’d call it cumulatively between fair and poor. For this reason, I am listing it on Craiglist and eBay with a “buy-it-now” of $1600 (I reserve the right to cancel an ebay auction in the event that someone local shows up with $1600 cash) or, it will go to the BEST OFFER/ the best bid on ebay. The car is located in San Francisco, in the outer Sunset District. Feel free to come by and take a look (give me a call at 415 240-6207). I will not ship - local pick-up only. Cash, Paypal or personal checks (delivery upon clearing) enthusiastically accepted.
