I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A INSURANCE AUCTION AND REBUILT IT. WHICH IS THE REASON IT HAS A TEXAS REBUILT TITLE. I PUT A FRONT CLIP ON IT AND HAD THE CLIP PAINTED, WE DID NOT PAINT THE REST OF THE CAR. REAR BUMPER PAINT DAMAGE WAS ALREADY ON THE CAR. MY WIFE LOVES THIS CAR AND I COULD NOT KEEP HER OUT OF IT. I REALLY HATE TO GET RID OF IT, BUT I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO SPEND THE MONEY ON THE TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION WENT FROM WORKING FINE WHEN PARKED AT NIGHT, TO A LOCKED REVERSE GEAR(CAN'T PUSH THE CAR FORWARD OR BACKWARDS WHEN IN REVERSE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING) WHEN GOING TO WORK THE NEXT MORNING. FORWARD GEARS AND OTHER GEAR POSITIONS WERE WORKING FINE.TRANSMISSION IS NOW MAKING A NOISE WHEN I START IT UP, THIS STARTED AROUND THE 1ST OF THE YEAR. FROM SITTING? I WOULD START IT UP EVERY FRIDAY SINCE IT'S BEEN PARKED. THE BADS: TEXAS REBUILT TITLE CVT TRANS BAD(I THINK IT WAS ALREADY A REBUILT UNIT) PAINT DAMAGE ON REAR BUMPERTINT NEED TO BE REDONEINTERIOR NEED CLEANING, SMALL RIP ON DRIVERS SEAT FROM USE.1 BAD MOUNT(BUT THE REPLACEMENT MOUNT WILL GO WITH THE CAR)CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD(WAS ALREADY ON THE CAR WHEN PURCHASED) THE GOODS: AFTERMARKET REMOTE START/ENTRY SYSTEM PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED AND WORKS WITH THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM. 2 REMOTES. AFTERMARKET 17" WHEELS AND TIRES(TIRES ARE GOOD, CAR WAS LAST DRIVEN IN NOV, 2013)(speedo is correct) CAR IS PRETTY AND IN GOOD SHAPE BODY WISE, A/C COLD, HEAT HOT, EVERYTHING WORKS(EXCEPT THE TRANSMISSION) OPTIMA BATTERY WITH RECEIPT WE STILL HAVE FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE ON IT UNTIL WE SELL IT.(I STILL MAY FIX IT IF IT DOES NOT SELL) NO LEAKS, BOTTOM OF CAR IS DRY AS IT CAN BE.RUNNING SYNTHETIC OIL IN IT. HAS NEW STRUTS ALL THE WAY ROUND(KYB)THIS WAS MY WIFE'S DAILY DRIVER, IT'S A GOOD CAR.IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, JUST ASK. CAR IS SITTING IN A FULL GARAGE, SO I COULD NOT GET A FULL PICTURE OF THE CAR UNLESS I PUSHED IT OUTSIDE.
