I CAN TELL YOU NOW THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY(I USE THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER INSTEAD) THE ENGINE LEAKS A DROP OR TWO OF OIL WHEN IT IS NOT DRIVEN, ONE BRAKE ROTOR IS OUT-OF-ROUND, AND THE HEADLINER ON THE SUNROOF IS PEELING OFF IN THE CORNER. ANYTHING ELSE HAS ALWAYS BEEN REPAIRED AS SOON AS I WAS AWARE OF IT.
    A drop or two? how often every minute?

    As soon as you were aware of it? Sooooo all these problems happened the day before you decided to sell it?

    The repaint painted the front and rear spoilers the correct charcoal grey color and left the center skirt white--I find that a horrendous look personally but to each his own. Normally people will either go with the factory look [which I did] or would paint all of the lower skirts and spoilers body color. I also can't stand those rims and I wonder why he would have wasted pictures on the car covered...not enough interior shots, and his buy it now is pretty high. I would tend to think his reserve is up there too, so we shall see I suppose. The ///M paint on the engine is all stripped off, I wonder what that is all about?

    Oh well, Caveat Emptor with these cars.
