This is great example of this year and model. The previous owner spent 3k just getting the leather interior redone. It was his pride and joy. He sold it to us when moving to Nevada. It was used as a daily driver to and from work for about 40 mins. a day for 2 years in 2011 and 2012. Unfortunately all this outside weather took a toll. It was not garage keep for those 2 years. Once i noticed the damage it was developing I stopped driving it and found a garage to keep it in. Some old rust areas came back and the floor began to rust under the drivers seat. The engine has always been solid. These models are known to go 500,000 miles. Theirs a small whistling sound in the car that comes and goes while it's being driven. I think it has to do with the vacuum system that's used for the power door locks. Seats are really comfortable. This has a great ride, that's never changed. Possible slow leak in the brake lines for the front. I refilled the fluid a couple months ago and it's been fine ever since. I would recommend not driving this home just in case it let's loose. It's always proven to be reliable. As one of my personal favorites I really hope this goes to someone that can give it the time and attention and garage space it deserves. Happy bidding!
