The car has no rust, and it has 168,000 miles.

The lady I bought it from came by my office looking for a condo to buy..I commented that her car was nice and she told me that she was getting ready to trade it in for a new CDI. I asked her what she wanted for the car and she told me $3500. I always wanted a diesel since I had a Ford escort with a mitsubishi diesel in college. She didnt have a ride back to Orlando..so I told her I would give her a ride back...she had all the service records and all the ownership documents she intended to give to the dealer upon trade-in. We went to Bank of America and I had a cashiers check made out to her. I drove her home and was scared silly to see all the maintenance the lady had done on the car. I got the opinions of other ppl on this site and they reassured me that she had been taken by overzealous maintenece ppl at the dealership.

Upon arriving at her house..her husband told me that she was never slack on the maintenance of the car..so I breathed a little easier. And their house was nice too. This car was bought brand new in 93 and had been garage kept every day since. I even have the original window sticker...

I told her to remember me if she ever wanted to get rid of the 2006 CDI..she said that i would be the first she would call...but being that she is every bit 80 years old..I hope she tells her kids to sell it to me in the future.

From time to time we still phone each other and she still asks how her car is doing! She seems to really like the new car...and hopefully I will too..one day.
