Additional information:
I purchased this car at 36K miles in 2007. I am the 3rd owner and it was my daily driver to the office and back to it's garage since 2007 up until 2022. Due to the manual transmission, i have been the only driver during that time. The reason i am letting it go is that I bought a larger car for my family and simply do not have the time to drive it anymore and it just sits in the garage. My kids don't want it. I do hate to see it go, but it's time for someone else to enjoy it. I have available many repair records upon request, as well as, the original owners manuals.
For the most part, all features and options are operational and work perfectly as intended except for:
> Sunroof: the motor works perfectly, but the linkage on the driver side has worn out to the extent that if you open it, only the passenger side will close all the way. So i keep it closed.
> Odometer backlight is out and you need to shine a flashlight to see the mileage.
