Rare 6-speed. Runs beautifully. It's a spectacular performer that has been well-maintained. Never smoked in. I bought it from the original owner when it had about 20,000 miles. Kumho Ecsta LX tires have about 5,000 miles. The car has been reliable and gets 25-27 mpg on the road. Interior and body are excellent with these exceptions, all visible, though hard to see, in the photos: slight damage on rear bumper (backed into another car), 2 missing adjustment knobs on radio (can't find replacements) and a ding on the left front fender (parking lot offender, I think.) The check engine light comes on occasionally. Dealer says code is P0021, which would be an expensive fix involving camshaft position on left bank--if it really needs it. Light has not come on for past few weeks and there are no performance issues that I can tell. Still, I want you to know about it. I am willing to discount significantly for this issue, if it is an issue.On Jul-15-12 at 08:03:51 PDT, seller added the following information: A small 1/4" star crack appeared in the windshield yesterday. It's about at 7:00. Must have been a rock. It looks like the kind that could grow. Whatever the final bid price is, I will reduce the price by whatever it will take to replace the windshield. I wouldn't fix it myself, because it's so tiny. I'll leave the option to you. A new windshield is always nice, though.
