*General Info: This is a great all-purpose car, small enough to have good fuel economy and big enough to comfortably seat 4 people (or 5 smaller people) in addition to quite a bit of trunk space. Ample head room and great visibility in all directions are some other pluses. It's got a few cosmetic issues as is to be expected with a 15 year old car, but overall it's in good shape, especially mechanically. The issues it has are some wear on the steering wheel and sun damage to the paint in a few places. The car has been consistently well maintained and so it shouldn't have any major problems for several years and many miles to come. The cost of ownership for this car is very low as it is not expensive to insure, is decently fuel efficient, and is made from a lot of generic (low-cost) parts should you ever need to replace or repair anything. I want to be as honest and upfront about this car and it's condition as possible so please feel free to ask me anything about the car, it's condition, and history that you can think of. It's a good, reliable car and it has served me well for the many miles I've driven with it. The reason I'm selling it is that I've recently aquired a new car and so this is now just an extra one that I don't have a need for. You can contact me via ebay's message system to ask about the car or schedule a good time to see it in person. I will only be accepting cash or a cashier's check (from a bank) for payment and I cannot accept personal checks or credit of any kind. I'd be happy to consider reasonable offers but ultimately reserve the right to reject offers at my discretion. What you will be getting with this sale is a clean official title signed over to you as the buyer, a set of 2 car keys, and of course the vehicle itself with a full tank of gas. You can either drive home with it on the day of sale or pick up at a later date (within reason) if you need some time to visit the DMV first. It is your responsibility as the buyer to register and obtain plates for the vehicle as well as to pay any associated DMV related taxes and fees. *Please do not contact me for anything other than buying or viewing the vehicle. I am not interested in trades; this is strictly a car-for-cash type sale. *Car Specs: Automatic Transmission25 mpg city, 30 mpg highway1.6L Engine (4-cylinder)78 kW, 105 HP @ 5500 RPMHas a 13 gallon fuel tankTakes regular unleaded gasoline *Features: New stereo system with CD player & MP3 aux portIncluded remote control for stereo + audio/mp3 cableCold air conditioning and good heatingElectronically adjustable side mirrors3-point seatbelts for all 5 seatsCruise control with speed adjustmentSoft fabric seats with adjustable head-restsElectronic windows and door locksDimmable rear-view mirrorFold-down back seats for interior trunk accessInterior dome light with on/off/door settingsAdjustable dashboard light-level12 volt outlet / cigarette lighterManual headlight controlRear window defrosterSpare tire and jack in trunkValid state inspection sticker *Condition: Reliable and smooth running engineHas had regular oil / filter changesNo lit "check engine" or warning lightsAll fluids currently topped offClean interior (no major damage or odors)Original floor mats in good conditionSome sun-damage to clear coat on hood and trimWorking head, tail, and directional lightsNo leaks in fluid or exhaust systemsClean vehicle history; minor dent below rear-left doorNew battery and ignition systemNew fuel pump and fuel injectorsWorking hand/parking brakeSet of 4 matching tires with 60+ % tread remainingSome wear on rim of the steering wheelNo missing or damaged under-side panelsBreaks are a bit squeaky, but have been checked and are still goodSet of 4 brand new hubcapsOriginal owner's manual in glove boxRust-free exterior and wheel-wellsGood transmissionNew oil pan and sealClean air-intake filterNo burned out fuses
