Well cared for car. Battery and tires less than 3,000 miles. I am 6'4" and have plenty of room both front and rear. Transmission started to slip coming back from vacation. Have driven little since. Car has a belt driven transmission and still drives fine, just at a slightly higher RPM. On Jan-29-17 at 09:37:42 PST, seller added the following information: 29 Jan. Forgot to add: 1) Car has a remote starter installed. 2) Transmission slippage started while on vacation in Louisiana. We made it back to Michigan just fine. Best as I can tell from scouring the net - Severity of slippage is directly related to battery voltage. When voltage too low - transmission slips to the point of car not even rolling. Transmission has electric solenoids and will not operate properly if voltage low / incorrect. Regardless, I ensure the battery is fully charged and still drive it a few times each month just to keep things exercised so to speak.
