This is a repossessed vehicle that I am listing for the lender. I will attempt to describe the vehicle to the best of my knowledge of the history of the vehicle as well as my observation of the vehicle. Motor: The engine runs quiet and smooth. Has good power and pick up. The check engine light is on. I do not know why. The service light is on notating time for oil change (this is the light with the wrench in it). The wiper fluid also needs filling as that light is on. Transmission: 5 speed manual transmission. The gear shifter makes a quick scrubbing noise when it goes up into third gear. Does not sound like a grinding of the transmission but something with the shifter. Body: Body in good shape with the following damage notated. The drivers side rear tail light is broken out. There is a scuff on the bumper under this taillight where it appears something scrubbed against it. Otherwise the body only has has a few small minor imperfections that would be consistant with this age vehicle. A small ding was notated above the driver side tire. The hatch back does not open with the inside button you have to use the key. Car needs a good detailing. I have listed the color as silver but it is one of those that is subject to opinion. Some say it has a light greenish tint. Title specifies unknown. If an exact color is a deal breaker then I would not bid. Interior: Interior leather shows some wear. I did not notate any rips but it does show some wear. There is a couple of stains that should clean up. Dash and doors are good. There is some stains on the headliner where maybe some water got on it. It does not appear to be a chronic problem but just a light stain maybe from where sunroof was opened in wet weather. Interior needs detailing. Power options: All the windows and door locks work. I could not get the sunroof to open. Not sure if it is electrical problem or something I am not doing right. The A/C seems to work but may need charging. Was tested on a cold day so hard to get a accurate read. Tires: The tires are fair. 2 of them are better than the other 2. They are not at an urgent stage but I would suggest planning a set in the next few months based on your preferences. I hope you can appreciate the straightforwardness of the description. If you have additional questions feel free to ask. I am not a mechanic nor has the vehicle been inspected by a mechanic. The vehicle is sold as is with no warranties expressed or implied.
