Mom bought this car new in 2007. She gave it to me in 2012 with barely 5000 miles on it. I kept it until April 2021 with 46,000 miles on it. I detailed it, treated it with loving care, did all the safety recalls, regularly changed oil and rotated tires. No major repairs. Minor repairs included changing the tires, leak in fuel pump, changed front bushings. Great run around around car, very reliable. Dent resistant panels made parking worries non-existent. Biggest problem was the overall decomposing of the car due to age and lack of driving. I planned to keep it past 100,000 miles and retire with the car but it needed new shocks and struts and AC went warm. Total estimate to fix was $3000. Decided to buy a new Lexus and traded it in at the dealer for $3000. One month later, and the dealer is still trying to resell it for $7,500. Good luck! I hope the new owner can appreciate the babied car. I have the urge to drive by the lot to visit my old baby.

I cannot think of a better first car to give someone, it is reliable and has very few things to go wrong. It has only the necessities unless you get the higher trim levels, and it’s engine is just an amazing piece of work. It needs things done but it still runs perfectly.

Great on gas, smooth ride, cosmetically great. No issues at all. This would be a great buy for anyone. Lot's of recent work done. Cold A/C
