My wife bought this car in 2008? (according to title) from Enterprise rental car in Florida with 42,415 miles on it; we have owned it ever since then. Was always in Florida until last November when we moved to Connecticut, has no significant rust or body corrosion, just normal scratches/minor wear, and has been touched up with matching silver spray paint. It never gave us problems until recently, started burning a little oil about a year ago and it started over-heating for no apparent reason last month. Took it to our local mechanics and at first they said they could find nothing wrong, then said his additional tests indicated exhaust fumes in cooling system which is usually a blow head gasket. I drove it a few times just local since then, but now the oil light came on, and there is a milky film below the oil cap, so I stopped driving it, but it still starts and runs. It has had lots of routine maintenance on it in the last year, all at Firestone, including new tires, new brakes, and new belts. I have always used synthetic oil in it since I owned it and it has an upgraded K & N air filter. It has been in 2 fender bender low speed and stationary accidents since we owned it (neither our fault). The first was where a truck backed into it on front left, was totally repaired by professional body shop, new left headlight and left quarter panel and paint, can't really tell it happened. The second was a low speed accident where a guy merged into my wife and just barely scraped the rear right panel, bumper and hubcap; got new hubcap, re-set bumper, and touched up the paint ourselves, can only tell it happened if you look close. It has been a real good car for us until now, I'm in my 60s and have no ambition to repair it, so SELLING AS-IS for parts or repair. Buyers are encouraged to come look at it before buying, just contact me at the eBay message center and give a phone and I will call you to set up an appointment. Car has clear Florida title, no liens, WILL NOT pass Connecticut Emissions so we kept it registered in Florida. I don't know why it won't pass, but the check engine light is "ON". Will NOT warranty this will pass emissions, but WILL warranty clear title. I have receipts from Firestone for the tires, brakes and belts.
