awful lot of miles...but affordable. I would spend a hundred bucks or so and have it inspected by a shop before I bought it tho....also...if the transmission does not shift perfectly DO NOT BUY THE CAR

I like it. Fair mileage if it has been maintained and there are no issues/ stories. For sure buy if it has dealer maintenace records and has not been in prior accidents. Look for discolored paint, SRS airbag lights being on/missing, Does the car retain all of the factory pieces. Has the timing belt and water pump been changed (how long ago?) When was the last tune up. (i.e. spark plugs, wores, cap, rotor, ignition timing check. Have there been any other issues. Is the interior/ exterior clean. It should be if the car was maintained. Most people that maintain their cars keep other parts nice to (just an FYI)I would prefer it came with the origional rims too, but that is just me. The SE cars tend to hold their value a little better than others. KC

Dude, SERIOUSLY get it checked out before you buy it!! That is less than half the kelley bluebook value for excellent condition (around $6000)! Good condition is around $5400, and "Fair" condition is $4700! Needless to say, the one you're looking at most likely has some problems!!!
