I purchased this car in January for my daughter. I was told by the previous owner that the car had no issues and the day of the purchase I drove the car home 300 miles with no issues what so ever. The transmission has issues. In the mornings, the car has to sit and warm up befor you can go. "I think it either has something to do with the electronics, or it has to build up pressure in the transmission before you can go, im not real sure" That being said, once the car goes, it goes all day with no other issues, which leads me to believe that the transmission is not worn out, but if it does need a rebuild you can do it yourself (DIY $400). Im just trying to be upfront and honest, unlike the lady who sold it to me for 3300.... The tires have about 1200 mile on them, the interior is in good shape (new seat covers) the radio is new, the A/C is ice cold, the top does not leak, the engine runs like brand new. I get a constant 36 MPG on the highway. There is no rust on this car. The drivers side power window and the cruise control dont work. I drive this car everyday to school and would not hesitate to drive it up to 500 miles for delivery, (providing i am paid .50 per mile plus gas) All of the pictures are of the exat car you will be purchasing. The pink and black covers were removed and replaced with new black and grey covers. The fender vents were also removed.. Thanks for looking. On May-06-10 at 14:39:24 PDT, seller added the following information: Alright, 2 days 23 hours left. I want to reassure you of the facts.. I have recieved multiple inquiries abot more in-depth details of the car. So before anyone else mails me: I have enough confidence in this car to deliver it up to 500 mile one way. That is subject to a payment in full, .50 cents per mile , and my fuel cost round trip. I dont have a guaranteed, pinpointed diagnosis of the transmission. I do however know that it is not the wiring harness, and the valve body in the transmission is clean and free of debris. I know that after the first 90 seconds of running, and after reving the motor to around 3000 RPM's the car will go and not give you anymore problem for the rest of the day unless you park it for about 4 hours or more. From a stand still (at a red light) you cannot floor the throttle or it will jump into gear rather hard. It shifts from 1st to second, second to third, and third to fourth effortlessly. It also downshifts with no issues. I will not drive this car 500 miles just to have someone tell me i did not disclose information, and walk away. The body is in very good condition. There is a small ding in the passenger front fender just above the passenger headlight. There is also a small just about dent in the center of the lip that goes toward the front bumper. (actually its more like a bump than a dent) it is nothing bigger than a quarter. Niether of these areas are very noticable. The engine runs like it is brand new. The milage is right at 99700. Thats just over 7000 a year. The last thing i will say about this car is this: "If i had more time and a little more patient ex wife and daughter, i would not sell this car.." And that my friends is the honest truth. My loss, your gain..
