This has been my daily driver since 2015. 199,000 miles.
Pros:
- The engine is in great shape
- transmission was rebuilt around 100K miles
- 4 brand new tires in June 2025
- New eCV axles in April 2025
- New brakes and rotors in April 2025
- New battery in March 2025
- Routine oil changes and maintenance
- registered in my name, tags good until Jan 2026
- passed smog 8/29/25
- 24 MPG
Cons:
- intermittent stalling (I suspect new spark plugs and wires might remedy that)
- sticky temp gauge
- intermittent AC
- general oil leaks
I just bought a new car, so I am letting this go. I can retire the vehicle through the California Assistance Program for $2,000, but it feels wasteful retiring a car that is still running, passed smog, and has all the new replacements I mentioned above. I figured this might be a great deal for someone in a pinch.
