Selling AS-IS, no smog. But there's no reason to believe it won't pass after check engine light is dealt with & it gets some new fuel in it.

Runs & drives, but doesn't shift properly.
Had a new battery & alternator in 2020, but after sitting for the last year the battery no longer holds a charge. Starts right up with a jump & the engine runs nicely & is in good condition. Shifts from reverse to drive no problem, but then doesn't want to go from 1st - 2nd etc. It will.but it has lost it's mind.

Had both front CV axles replaced in 2020. Tires are great.

Interior is in really decent shape for it's age. Not musty. Has some dog claw marks on the door panels & normal stains, but is overall a nice place to be. We even have the hard-to-come by rear cargo cover!

Power windows & locks work. A/C need a recharge. Most things in good working order, other than the usual here & there of an old car.

We love this car, but do not have the means or knowledge to repair it. Could just be these sensors, or whole transmission needed.

Please email any questions or to set up a viewing. Thanks!
