Rebuilt title. It can be hard to finance a rebuilt title car, so please do not bid unless you are paying cash or already have your financing lined up.

With that out of the way, this has been a great car for me despite the rebuilt title.

I bought the car after it was repaired with 19,600 miles on it. Current mileage is just over 39,400 (will go up slightly as I'm still driving the car until it sells). The car hasn't given me any problems in the 20k miles I have driven it including long roadtrips to Arkansas, Arizona, Mississippi and Colorado.


Car runs, drives, stops and shifts good. I have always run full synthetic oil and it doesn't have any leaks and hasn't given me any problems.
Tires have good tread life left and are wearing evenly since I bought them new at about 24k miles.
Front and rear brake pads both have tons of pad life left.

Mostly stock with the only mods being:

Corksport Intake/Turbo Inlet Pipe
Corksport Rear Motor Mount Insert


Issues:

-CD player doesn't work (says "check disk" when you select CD mode), Radio and AUX input work perfectly (Aux is what I use 90% of the time to play music from my ipod) so I never replaced it since I don't use the CD player function.
-Washer fluid tank has a small leak when it is filled more than half full (system still works and sprays liquid properly, you just can't fill it all the way).
-Small cigarette burn in passenger front seat (car does not smell of smoke at all, this burn was there when I bought the car and the car has never been smoked in since I've owned it.
-As mentioned, car is a rebuilt title due to a previous front end collision.
-When I got an alignment a couple years ago, the tech did not set the steering wheel to perfect dead center (you'll only notice this on the highway when going straight the wheel is ever so slightly to the left). I didn't notice the tech didn't reset it until I had already moved from Arizona to Texas and It didn't bother me enough to get another alignment done. Car drives fine and tracks good, just needs the steering wheel adjusted.
-a few minor paint chips/dings typical of any used car, but nothing major or very noticeable (wanted to point this out as this isn't a "perfect" condition vehicle, but what used car really is?)
-crack on dash by GPS antenna from summer heat (this is on the front of the dash and not the main part where you're constantly looking at it. I almost forgot to include it when listing the flaws)
-scuff in window tint on back window

I tried to take pictures of the flaws as best I could, so please look at all the pictures in the listing. The car is in good shape, but I try to be thurough in describing it since often times buyers are not able to check the car out until it's time to pick it up and take it home due.



Bonus items:

Brand New set of iridium sparkplugs
Extra Oil Filter
Brand new set of Rear Hawk Performance Brake Pads
Special Oil filter wrench socket


This has been a good reliable car even with the rebuilt title. I have tried to be as comprehensive as I can in describing the car and any defects it has. Car is in overall good condition, but is a used vehicle. Only selling because I upgraded to a Corvette and don't need the extra vehicle. Any questions please ask. Thank you.
