The engine runs great with no smoking or hesitation. There are no warning lamps lit on the dash. If you look in the pictures I have provided one with the engine running and you can see that the dash is clear of any fault indications. There are no strange noises and no valves tapping. There are no oil leaks. 3 of the tires have greater than 60% life left but the left front tire only has 40% life left. The automatic transmission shifts perfect throughout all of the gears. It shifts smoothly and does not slip at all. The brakes have 50% life or more remaining. We have totally inspected the front end components for play. All components are tight. This car has also passed Maryland state safety inspection through an independent authorized inspection station. There is no shaking or vibrations while applying the brakes. The steering is tight and accurate. The car does not drift left or right. The wheel is centered while driving. The paint is clean and shinny. The vehicle has a few tiny door dings but nothing out of the ordinary for normal use. It has a very clean overall appearance. The interior shows minimal wear. It smells good. the odometer is correct and reads 93k miles. You can tell by the pictures that it has not been driven hard. The drivers seat still has 100% firmness as it should. The seat feels normal, not worn out. Likewise the controls are also in excellent working order with no looseness or play. All of the windows work perfectly along with every single feature the car has including the power sun roof. We have put this car into excelent roadworthy condition. I have personaly drivin this car many times. It is definitley dependable and comfortable. The heat is very hot and the air conditioning is very cold! The car comes Maryland state safety inspected. The vehicle comes with a transferable title but it is branded XSALVAGE. When I bought this car it had a clean washnton D.C. title. I switched the title into the dealership's name from the seller and it came back to me as xsalvage. History reports show it as being a theft recovery. It's never been stolen from me. In actuality the car has been in my possession for about 2 years and it's never been stolen or damaged since i've owned it. But the loss was to have occurred during that time period, Well that's impossible because it was sitting in my driveway as a back up car and we hardly ever used it. I belive mva has made a mistke by issuing an xsalvage title but thats what they have done. I'm pretty sure that I could fight the history and prove it has never been damaged but the lawyers fees will likely be more than the vehicles value. 20hours @350per hr= 7k. I believe It would be a waste of money. so here we are, the national crime info center computer has lifted the stolen flag on the car and we have the title in hand and on site in the name of my dealership. It is 100% transferable and resisterable in any state and has no liens. All of the cars we sell on eBay go through an intense mechanical inspection in our shop.
