Vehicle Detail
Approximately 180,000 miles. All power options work. I have never smoked in the car, sorry no pictures of the interior. Its in above average condition for the age of the car, no tears or cracks. There is minor hail damage and some rust in the rear wheel wells. I have had issues in the past with a coolant leak, but some BarsLeak fixed that problem. The air conditioning works, but not that great. The gas gauge doesn't work, I tried to drop the tank to replace the sending unit, but the bolts are rusted tight, and to replace the bolts once broken would have been enormously difficult. I get around 250 miles to a tank of gas, give or take, depending on driving conditions. The car doesn't always start the first time, but always the second. There is some electrical problem which Jeff's Northshore Auto, in Menasha, WI told me I was just better off dealing with, as the car does always start. The aforemention dealership was where I bought the car. The tires are around 60%, will definitely make it through winter. The check engine light is on, but is always on. Jeffs Northshore plugged the computer on it and said one of the cylinders will misfire once in a blue moon, causing the light to come on. Once on, you need a scanner to shut it off, and I don't have one. It uses oil, not a lot, but you have to keep an eye on it, if you put a lot of miles on it. The wipers also tend to cut out once in awhile, usually when its raining out and you need them (jk). I have replaced the front wheel bearings once, as well the front struts. The coolant system was flushed and fresh coolant was added in May, right before I drove the car to Wyoming and back without any issues. It also got new front brakes this summer. Its definitely a beater, but a reliable one.
