Headgaskets tend to be a fail point on the 2.5.  
2.2 is not prone to the same issue

2.2 L are pretty good with headgasket they dont tend to have any problems with it. So no headgasket was done from what i was told but timing belt has been replaced at 150k from what previous owner said but that just going by his word cant confirm

Yes does have a/c but im not sure if it work as its to cold out lol but a/c compressor does turn on and there is freon in the lines.  
So it does have the option but im not sure if it work until the weather is a bit warmer to really find out if its really working.

Why isn’t the mileage correct?  
Does the trunk leak due to the rust holes in it?

The 176k miles i was guessing of the top of my head, that why i took the picture of the odometer for reference.

The rust holes does not let any water in that i can tell.

**sold!**

95% of the vehicle i usually post on here are not mines, usually from my mother’s friends who she knows at churchs or from the neigbhorhood. That knows i like/love/know cars ask me to help them sell it.  
for example. this car was from a member of the church she attends and he was a 60 year old italian guy, who was gonna trade it in but i told him just hold off before he did it and it worked out for him. he got a little more then what the dealer would of gave him for it and he didnt know anything about the car, so i helpd him sell it.

They are usually senior citizens lol
