Gasoline

No mechanical issues. Doesn't leak, or burn oil. Heat and AC work. Cruise Control works. No electrical problems. Reliable, and very economical. It has crank windows, not electric. Was bought from a local car dealer. Excellent gas mileage. Non smoke/pet odors. Radio/CD player works. This would be a good car for college student, or for someone that just wants a cheap car to get them around town. It's noting fancy, but is practical. The car isn't perfect: It's 12 years old and has 168k+ miles on it: 1: The rear passenger seatbelt (driver side) is stuck and doesn't pull out all the way. 2: Visor for front passenger needs to be replaced (it's missing.) 3: The trunk piece that goes over the license plate is missing. ($130 for the part from a dealer) 4: It has scratches and small dents around the body, and on top of it. 5: It will need brakes at some point-less than one year. 6: Has some rust around frame by doors. 7: Being sold "as - is." This is a great running car-strong engine. It's light, so if you want to drive it in the winter, or on icy roads you probably should put skates on it, and if it should happen to be parked somewhere where you need to push it (like maybe late at night when you want to sneak out of the driveway and go hit the slots at he local casino?) you can easily stick your leg out a door and push it backwards with very little effort and get into the street without even a sarcastic glare from your wife/girlfriend/partner, etc. The car has been used very well, and taken care of with the least amount of attention and it's still kickin'. Yep. There's scratches around the doors, hood and the trunk from where the kids (neighborhood kids too) used it as some sort of "merry-go-round-bike chasing course." It's devoured it's share of French Fries, has a few coins hidden in the crevices between the seats, lost pencils, small toys that were eagerly taken out of Happy Meal boxes, and straws from hundreds of visits to Burger King, Mc Donalds & Wendy's. (I'm sure there's got to be hidden pieces of Halloween candy that were tucked in between seats, or under the front seats somewhere that were supposed to be retrieved after Halloween trick-or-treating, but never were.) and various spills from juice cups, slushies and shakes. The interior has battle scars from all sorts of things that were spilled, dripped, or squashed as well as fitting unreasonably obstinate objects that refused to be placed inside that were forcibly re-engineered so they'd "fit." (i.e. mountain bikes, big wheels, kids pool...Christmas trees...) The car has been washed once or twice and the screen for the clock is pushed in, but still works. A visor on the passenger side is missing, but can be located on the driver's which has the mirror facing out and upward toward the sky. The trunk piece that once clung to the top part of the trunk for dear life was eventually removed by a teenager armed with a screw driver and a "can-do" attitude. And yes, it's been through several Michigan winters which has given it the "Salty Complexion" that comes from driving on salt infused roads, and being stuck behind semis that would cheerfully spit a wet, sloppy sodium body mask upon it. It seems to have a thirst for coolant/Anti-freeze, but no leaks can be found. It get's kind of moody and will crank out cold air in the winter, and hot air in the summer, but if you think about it-the car is 12 years old, so it's just entering puberty. The rear windows have been given a darkened tint that was placed there several years ago to help protect the children that would be sitting in the back seats from the ever persistent rays of sun that followed them to frequent trips to Chicago, and if you look carefully, you can see "design marks" from a golden retriever that was always anxious to get out from the car. Probably one of the best features of the car had, is no longer there: A Homer Simpson antennae figurine that showed him in his underwear & drinking Duff Beer. It was removed by a disgruntled woman who thought it was inappropriate because it was parked in a school parking lot during PT conferences. I guess to sum it all up: It's not one of a kind, but it is surely is resilient for its kind.
