This vehicle has a lot of pep for a tiny car. It takes off like a rocket and is great on gas. It was purchased at a used car lot in NC for only $3,800 and there are 28,000 miles on it. It is very clean with no dents or scratches and it's not a lemon. The original sales receipt was still in the glove box and was over $14,000 - That's steep depreciation! We're very happy with it so far. Although the engine sounds a bit harsh and it isn't as comfortable as a larger car, we bought it based on price and size. We keep our vehicles well maintained and hope to get many years out of it.
Where in NC do you live? I was just curious because I live in NC.
I love this car! We bought a 2000 Esteem in April of 2006 with about 83,000 miles. I use it to drive all over; on long highway trips and to the grocery store as well. I think it's fun to drive and easy to handle, and it does have power for such a little car. I'm so happy with my purchase, and it only cost a fraction of other used cars out there.
