As noted above, this car would be good for a new driver, for parts, or to impress your girlfriend. The Bad News: This car has dents, scratches, and dings and a replacement rear passenger-side door of a different color. The Good News: This car runs and passed smog in June 2014. I know, i know - the car is not pretty, but it will get you to work, or the store, or even to the store after work. The car gets decent gas mileage, about 23 mpg combined city and highway. The car has a big trunk, and comfortable seats. The radio works. The battery light comes on sometimes, and has for years - our mechanic confirms that this is a glitch in the light and not an issue with the car battery or alternator.
