I am the second owner and have owned this car since it had 18,000 miles. The vehicle has: a clean CarFax report (5/27/14).a new radiator, coolant hoses, and thermostat.a new exhaust resonator.a new battery.a new intake plenum gasket.2 new ignition coils (needs another 4 new ones).new double platinum plugs spark plugs (168,000 miles).new ceramic brake pads (174,000 miles).a very clean interior.the owner's manual.two keys and remotes. The vehicle has the following issues: There are 3 codes on the check engine light: knock sensor, egr valve, O2 sensor. The vehicle will not pass NJ inspection until these codes are fixed.The engine sometimes stutters a little when idling. Ideally, four of the six ignition coils should be replaced (2 of the 6 were recently replaced, and this fixed the issue for several months).The frame near the radiator support is rusting, and according to my mechanic, it should be fixed within 2 years.The tires should be replaced soon (they all have tread, but it is getting low).The valve cover gaskets leak oil (very slowly).The front axle boots are ripped, but the axles were replaced at 150,000 miles and work fine.The stabilizer bar should be replaced within the next year or so.The mount for the license plate light is rusted, and thus, the license plate light dangles.The gas springs that hold the hood up have been worn out for years. I simply prop the hood open when working under the hood.There are some scrapes, dings, and two areas of rust on the lower front fender (see picture).The interior LED clock does not work.The LCD readouts on the radio don't work, although the radio and cassette player do work.
