Joe,
Others have listed lots of good advice. I haven't seen this car, but the price seems way too high. See my ad a couple of lines above this. I've had this car in the local newspaper and in the Autotrader for 5 weeks at $2700 and nobody has even come to look at it! They are an excellent value for the price, but not very valuable when you try to sell. Especially if you are honest with the buyer about the pitfalls listed here by the others. The odometer on these cars is prone to failure and I'd be hesitant to trust any odometer reading on one of these cars. Mine is stuck at 113,000 and has been probably for years, but if I was dishonest I could get it fixed for $120 and try to sell my car as low mileage. Just my 2 cents worth....
