It was an estate car garaged kept according to the seller who worked for the wealthy owner. He said it was dealer serviced by the original owner but has no history or records. He is selling because his wife wants a new car and was going to trade it in but the dealer wasn't offering him much. Second owner it has a quite a few door dings and dents but nothing too bad for a 14 year old car. Everything works. New A/C compressor. There is condensation in one of the headlights so that might have to be replaced.

I would appreciate any opinions Were there any major issues with that year and model car? Is there anything I should be checking before making a deal? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated asap. He is not doing a hard sell at all but is trading it in two days if it is not sold. I am looking for a fairly reliable second car! Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Bob K
