The Cons:
1 problem that effects the car's performance:
Check engine light from vacuum leak, Confirmed with smoke machine at the shop that EGR control BPT valve and the EGR valve itself needs replacement, would cost around $300 to $350, parts and labor, to fix it at a shop depending where you go, the parts alone is around $150 I believe, probably less on ebay or junk yard. It drives okay most of the time but at random times can slightly feels like it's stalling due to vacuum leak. Because of this, I suggest not driving the car in the rain till it's fixed, because of the vacuum leak, moisture in the air get's sucked into the engine, causing it to stall, (happened to me twice during heavy rain).

Other Cons:
-Has a small dent on the front passenger fender. Some scratches on the passenger side and other minor and not very noticeable scuffs and scratches around the car.

-Trunk needs to be slammed harder to close all the way, may need a new latch

-Antenna mast broken but I will provide replacement mast part. You would have to bring the part to the shop.

-I have two different pairs of hubcaps on each side due to the OEM ones being stolen and one of my other hubcap from my other set somehow got missing.

Asking price$1500, Kelly blue book Value is $2735, considering the car has retrofitted projecters headlights with high and low beam HID's and sound system, all 4 new struts and all the work, major parts recently replaced and maintenance I put into the car, I think the asking price is a steal. For it's age, the car is a work horse, and drove really well before the vacuum leak, all it needs is egr and bpt valve replacement.
