Had regular service at manufacturer-suggested intervals.

Clean title.

Listed price is $500 below Kelly Blue Book and $1,000 below VINCheck.info average private party market values based on mileage and condition - this discount reflects the issues listed below.

Currently has check engine light and failed smog for the first time; a new knock sensor may be required ($500 for parts & labor quoted by a local mechanic). Warning: replacing sensor often works but may not fix the problem if other repairs are needed.

As such, registration will expire upon transfer of title and must register as PNO (Planned Non-Operational) until it passes smog.
