SOLD
212k miles (mostly highway) - I drive from Commerce to Royal Oak daily (60mi round trip).
The good:
Car runs great! No motor or trans issues. I used the car as a daily driver since 2006 when I bought it used with about 22k miles. It gets about 30mpg combined. I'm going to give as much detail as I can below so there are no surprises. I've also been very consistent oil changes over the years, and maintaining all fluids and doing most service at proper intervals.
The bad:
*Interior could use a cleaning, small tear in drivers seat
*Winter of '15 hit a small street sign, front bumper got cracked. Nothing wrong mechanically, just looks a little beat up
*~6 mo ago, I got rear ended at stop light, other driver was going about 15mph, pushed the bumper in just a tad (~1"), rear trunk a little hard to open/close but nothing else wrong mechanically. Doesn't look too bad
*Rear springs are broken (common issue on this car), been driving it like this for over 50k miles, no tire wear issues
*Windshield has 1 crack across it
*Front right turn blinker is out
*Serpentine belt is old, probably could use a new one
*O2 sensors are bad (common issue on this car w this many miles), light on, on dash
*Small exhaust leak
*Steering wheel knuckle is loose (common issue on this car)
Recently fixed (~5mo)-
*Fuel pump - also fixed fuel gauge (common issue on this car) ($700)
*New control arms & ball joints (common issue on this car) ($700)
*New spark plugs ($100)
*4 new tires ($400)
*New brakes (~1yr) - has 4 wheel disc for easy changes ($150)
*Oil change (99%) ($40)
*New flex pipe ($150)
With all that being said, the car is a great daily driver if you're looking to get from A to B reliably.
