General comments?
I purchased this car at ~$9K with 107K+ miles on it. Its comfortable, reliable and has a very solid feel.
However I did make the mistake of buying a car with so many miles on it as the repairs have cost estimated $1,350.00 excluding the last major tune up which was well over $600.
