for sale
Price: US $1,000.00
Price: US $1,000.00
This vehicle does have over 260, 000 miles on it, but a quick search on Edmunds will reveal that this car is one of the most common vehicles found on the road with an odometer reading well into the 300, 000 mile mark. I just completed a drive to Elizabeth City, twice over (4 stretches of 47 miles) this week alone in the car, and had no problems. This vehicle has also relocated me safely across the US 3 times, with the start and end location varying between NC and CO. KBB value is listed at $1, 322.
The vehicle still has the original engine and transmission. In Breckenridge, CO, where I lived until June 2016, it handled just fine in the feet of snow we receive, all without chains nor snow tires.
While she does perform excellently during my long commutes, and did just pass inspection, some work does need to be done to the O2 sensor, basic welding work (that I don't possess the skill set for). The check engine light remains on, and a mechanic said this is why. Furthermore, the traction control and ABS systems need repair work, if those are features you seek to be fully functional.
This is the first vehicle I've ever owned, so I've taken excellent care of it and it truly holds sympathetic value. I'm selling it because I recently purchased a Tahoe, as my life has increased in size.
Features:
-stock stereo (working)
-powered windows (all 4)
-working inbuilt sunroof
-seat heaters
-economy and sport mode
-roughly 25-26 mpg highway
