Simple answer is...my wife wants the garage spot back and I just don't have the time to tinker or drive it anymore... I love this car and she needs/should be driven.
Do you know the history of the car prior to your ownership?
Only what I found out by doing some research. I bought the car from Edward Strata locally in The Woodlands in 2016. I can share all of the history I found.
How many miles have you driven in the car?
~6,200 miles
Would you drive it on a 700 mile trip?
Yes, though I haven't driven that far in it in one go.
Any problem shifting thru gears?
No issues.
Any colored exhaust from tail-pipe when you start the car? After it has warmed up?
No strange colored exhaust on cold start or after it is running.
Making sure the dash isn't cracked, is it the original dash?
Dash is original...Pictures provided.
Is the interior all original? Any damaged interior parts?
Interior is all original...except the rear passenger seat cushion. It is a seat from a GTS...same color. No other damage to the seats. They also still work.
Any oil leaks? Does it use oil?
No oil leaks and it doesn't burn any oil.
How old are the tires?
Rear tires replaced Jan 2016 @ 54k miles; Front tires replaced May 2017 @ 57k miles
Do the rear seats have A/C?
Yes, There are AC vents between the rear seats. It is controlled from the front, but the rear AC helps cool the whole car down more. In Dec 2022 I updated all of the HVAC...
- Replaced AC compressor, drier, front expansion valve, compressor hoses and all o-rings in area
- Replaced rear expansion valve and o-rings; replaced o-rings at actuator under passenger seat; new air filter
- Added 1030g of R134a refrigerant
Do all the switches work?
Yes, however, I have not tried the sunroof.
Any work to be done on the car if you were to keep it?
There is always a project...If I keep her, I plan to tackle front suspension, rear suspension then top end refresh (refinish intake)...not sure how long that will take me.
How are the window seals?
Windows and rubber around window is solid with no leaks or cracks anywhere. The rubber gasket on the rear window was replaced by PO.
How many keys and do the locks work?
I only have one key, but know there are services that can make a new one...just haven't made it a priority.
All 3 locks work...(2 doors and hatch) plus the lockable gas cap
Spare tire?
Yes, there is a spare tire that is inflatable...it lives under the rear hatch carpet...not sure of the age... I assume original.
