HI, you are looking at a very nice example of probably one of the most fuel efficient vehicles on the road today. Please try not to be too discouraged by the high miles, i have owned this vehicle for a long time and it has been meticulously maintained, there is nothing wrong with if whatsoever. This car is serviced regular, i have never exceeded 3000 mile oil changes. At 277,000 it got it's timing belt (50,000 conitech belt) water pump, new belts, and front tires. 285,000 new fuel, air filters, brake pads all around and the synthetic gear oil changed. The engine is spotless, no oil residue at all. A/C is ice cold, no check engine lights, a good solid running engine. The exterior is very nice, no body damage or rust (FL car), it does have a couple of very minor door dings and your typical stone chips on the front edge of the hood but overall probably one of the nicest examples of a car this age. The headlights are not fogged and have an HID conversion, absolutely amazing difference. All the power options work.... Sunroof, heated power mirrors, windows, locks, even the CD changer still works. The interior is also nice,no headliner issues, no tears or heavy wear (always cover seats) no dash wear or cracking. The carpets do have some light stains under the mats. Again, overall very nice for year. The only issue the car has is the air bag light, this is due to the replacement of an ignition switch (not barrel) which required the removal of the air bag which triggered the air bag light. Simply needs to be reset. Both outside rear door handles need fixed, again a very straightforward repair The ONLY reason i am parting with this vehicle is to buy a bigger vehicle to tow our motorcycles. I will fix the small issues if it goes $100 over reserve. People always state "i'd drive this vehicle anywhere" well i have, infact this vehicle just completed a trip from FL to CA and back almost 6000 miles and averaged 48.5 mpg loaded down with the family. This vehicle is sold as-isOn Mar-26-11 at 09:56:04 PDT, seller added the following information: HI, would just like to add, i have no problem selling this vehicle to a low feedback bidder but please email me first (under 10) just so i know you're a serious buyer. Last year a low feedback bidder won an auction of mine then decided they liked another auction better and not even an email. Thanks for understanding.
