It's one of those very rare 4 cylinders, too.

A 4 cylinder and an auto. Must be a real dog.

That's the TPMS.


The car was definitely in an accident, as other have observed.

The hood is way out of whack.

There's something very funky about that odometer, too.

i did a car fax on this car and from there, it is clear with no accidents.. it couldve had a minor front bender that they fixed themselves, who knows..

but the interesting tidbit is that the last odometer reading on carfax was 8-27-2005.. at that time, the mileage was 15K. So from 9-05 to 7-06 (offered for sale on the first), the car was driven 34K miles... this car was going places

Yes, the TPMS light is on, but so is the oil light. Clearly the car is running - the idle is 1,000 rpm. So it's not just startup lights.

The lights that are on are the following...

Orange dot by the gas gauge : low fuel

(!) : Low tire pressure

Then the open door

Then the seatbelt light

and on the far right the oil level light.

That hood gap is so bad, i'm kind of thinking it's some sort of misguided appearance mod that got put on there. They should have at least detailed the thing before trying to sell it. It looks dirty.
