History
This car was bought new in April of 1998 for $49,000 and driven lightly for the first 11 years of its life, seeing only 30,000 miles in that time. The original owner's nephew began driving the car to/from Texas regularly in 2009 and racked up another 100,000 miles by the time it made its way to me in April of 2018.
Upon receipt the car had a rust-preventive underbody coating and mid-mount DI/DO Magnaflow resonator, along with evidence of a remote starter system which had at one point been installed. The car was largely rust-free upon receipt, however I had the foam inside the rocker panels removed as well as their interiors treated against corrosion; the car remains largely rust free despite year-round use. It racks up about 20,000 miles annually.
• 22.9 all-time MPG (30/70 city/highway) using 87 pump gas
