Might have been reasembled wrong or something, but stay away! It has been up on craigslist for awhile!!! It seems cheap and looks clean but there is only one reason why its cheap.......something is wrong!!

ok on the silver one try to find where leaks are coming from. How would you rate it compaired to the others you saw? It is nice. The green dont like cel being on if its carbon build up on throt. body why doesnt he fix it? selling a vehicle with cel on is not the right way to do business just my 2cts. Good luck in finding one you want

Yes, that doesn't really pass the smell test, does it? The seller has to know the "check engine" light is going to affect the price they can get, so you'd think if it was that simple he'd do it to maximize the selling price.

Yeah I dunno why he didn't want to fix the CEL light. I asked him if he was going to fix it and he didn't seem to want to do it, but was willing to go to the mechanic to have it looked at.

The green was very nice but had dents and dings.

If the one I am getting is a 10/10... i'd have to rate all the othersaround a 5/10. Few were complete heaps of crap. This one was really a diamond in the rough. So many of these are picked up at auction and resold. Many aren't cared for. I really lucked out. It's tough finding these that are for sale and are in good shape.

it's actually a POS. Read through the thread, one of the members saw it in person. These dealers do their best to portray a nice vehicle when it's 1/2 dead.
