Runs well, owned and maintained for over 20 years.
It has some cosmetic issues.
Has intermittent check engine light (which is emissions related and not a problem IMO).
Reason for selling: We purchased a newer car.
(Also includes Mazda Workshop Manual and Chilton Repair Manual)
Gently driven by retired couple, starts easy, and runs well.
No leaks.
Engine, automatic transmission, brakes maintained with records and notes.
AC and radio work well.
(CD player is faulty.
) New front tires, good rear tires and spare.
Engine oil just changed at 205,000 mi.
There is very little or no under-body rust.
This car is not super powerful or fast, but it is responsive and provides sufficient local transportation.
-Non-smoking interior is in fair condition.
-No make-up oil is needed between 5,000 mi oil changes (consumes about ¾ qt.
of 10w40).
-Typical gas mileage is between 30 and 37 mpg depending on driving conditions.
-Registration is current
KNOWN ISSUES:
-Two intermittent check engine lights (code P0421 and P0140).
These are not currently displaying, but come and go.
Both are emissions related and should not be a problem for reliability or registration in WA State.
(Check engine light details available upon request.
)
-Worn engine mounts allow noticeable vibration at idle especially during warm up.
(I shift to neutral at stoplights to minimize this.
) Vibration disappears when car is rolling and it drives smoothly.
-Sun damage of clear-coat and paint on hood and roof.
-Medium door dents on both sides of car from two stationary parked car accidents.
Previous accident of truck backing into front grill while car parked was fully repaired many years ago.
-Single vertical hairline crack in center of windshield, but does not obstruct visibility.
-Has vinyl steering wheel cover due to sun deterioration of rubber steering wheel surface.
-Front wheel alignment was done a year ago, but with new front tires, the car lightly pulls to the right.
A four wheel alignment service may help prolong new tire life.
-NOTE: Car does not have emergency scissor jack.
One may be purchased new or used for under $30.
VIN# is available upon request.
A list of known repairs can be provided upon request.
