> One owner car, the guy owned a golf course and used the car to cruise around the property, so it had its fair share of grass and dirt inside.
>
> He had everything on it done at the dealership. The only thing the car needed was tires, it had the OEM michelins on it at 70k miles, and they weren’t even totally bald. He spent 270 bucks on 4 new kelly tires installed, he’s happy with the car.
>
> Nice car, well maintained. Only thing is he was rear ended in the truck, and he replaced the hatch with a black one, and its a blue car. Easy fix for my brother, he knows alot of body shop guys. Also the guy wore out the drivers side seat, so he replaced it with a tan one, it has a grey interior. Another easy fix, seat covers.

> For 3400 he got a nice deal.

Whaaat? After I drifted my mom mobile, Susan saw the wheels packed with snow and said she was doing the same thing earlier after she had gone to the store. That’s why the toilet paper is all deformed now. Thanks a lot, Susan.
