First off, PLEASE READ THE WHOLE AD and any bashing or over the top off subjecting will be reported. Got something negative to say PM me.

History of car as owned by me:
I bought this car in June 2010. The car has always been great to me and never gave me major problems or left me stranded. The car was hit while parked in my apt complex in Dec 2010. The Front bumper, driver side fender, front bumper side marker and HID fogs were damaged, D/S headlight has minor scuff, C/F piece in center of lip was slightly further damaged. Front bumper,D/S fender, and side marker were replaced with OEM parts. The repair was done by a recommended friend of a friend, and he did a great job. I also paid extra to get the whole front end repainted to rid of all the rock chips from before. I also got him to redo the rear bumper because it had a long scratch all the way around from a WALD rear lip that was left on the bumper before. I replaced the HID foglight kit with PIAA ion yellow bulbs. C/F piece was trashed and replaced with a painted plastic piece that replicates the C/F piece. Now the car is in a better state that it was in before. Basically everything else remained the same. I love the car but i just think its time for another car. I take care of all of my cars and I have people to vouch for that. Please believe that I have absolutely NO PROBLEM keeping this car. I DO NOT NEED TO SELL!

All mods were done by previous owner besides ones mentioned with a "LN" beside it.
