i bought another car and my wife wants a smaller car that uses the cheap gas........

the ONLY things that aren't perfect on this car are the following:

on the master window switch, the front passenger switch works when it wants to....$100 or so from the dealer

the front passenger power window switch quit working last week....$40 from the dealer

it has the all to common "slight vibration during 40mph+ acceleration associated with lowering springs", but it's not lowered, the OEM springs are just sagging a tiny bit causing that vibration.....and it's VERY minor, not as bad as an unbalanced tire, but just noticeable and annoying to me sometimes.......to fix it, you have to simply put the spacer plate or just some washers on the 4 studs that are part of the mounts that mount the engine to the cradle......an hour job at most, but i simply haven't had a free hour during daytime when it wasn't raining.....i've even got the washers......

most everything is new, it has a lot of miles from the previous owner (military, back and forth to the base) but the car is 100% functional, loaded and great......no catches at all, and i'm in athens alabama about 2 hours from you right on i-65.......for $4200, i'd keep the cd player and you'd have to fix the 3 things i mentioned above.....it's EASILY worth it and it GREAT shape inside and out, but i don't drive it and she wants a civic or another CD accord.......great car, FAST, gets 27mpg HWY at 80mph, and is 100% reliable......tranny is 100% fine too....car was well taken care of, just needs a new owner
