4WD, automatic
Style: Limited Sport Utility 4D
Engine: 4-Cyl, 2.4 Liter
Records of maintenance and repair available for both the first owner and myself. I am the second owner.
This is a fantastic car, drives great. It has significant issues:
- Peeling exterior paint & some rust near one wheel
- Panel over front left wheel is slightly detached.
- Needs repair to pass inspection:
Exhaust muffler and valve cover gasket need to be replaced - I was quoted $212 + labor. There is an exhaust leak which makes a purr/vibrating noise while driving.
The catalytic converter also needs repair. I don't recall what the engine codes are. The estimated quote for repairs for both at the same time I got was between $1400-$1600.
Minor issues:
- Key fob is damaged, no buttons. I unlock the door manually.
-CD player is broken
-Needs new rear wiper
Features: Sliding sunroof, seats 5, it has new brake pads, and it has low mileage for its year. It has been locally owned in DC & Virginia and only 2 owners.
Latest maintenance:
New front brake pads & front brake rotors - March 2025
New front window wiper blades & oil change - Dec 2024
New cabin air filter - October 2024
4 new spark plugs, differential fluid service, and cooling flush - June 2024
New battery in 2023
Last inspection passed in August 2023
Kelley Blue Book estimated the “fair” condition value at $4,000 - $5,300. I hope to sell for $4500.
I haven’t shown the car yet. This week, I am available to show the car on Sunday Aug 17, after 11am to 8pm, or Monday Aug 18, 6:30pm-8:30pm.
