If you guys want, i'll snap some pictures of the car.

I'm the 3rd owner, the 2nd got it after it was blown and didn't know what was wrong with it so he just let it sit. the only damage to the body is a small black mark on the front bumper and some peeling clear coat, 57k original miles, and almost perfect interior. The only thing wrong with the interior is the steering column cover was broken by me on accident haha. The seats don't ever have wear on them from being driven.

Hard to believe an N/A motor died at 57k.

actually i think it was poor matenance

it was owned by a man who bought it new off the showroom floor and died after having the car 12 years, it sat at his house two years, and then at the previous owners house for four. The guy that owned it before me drove it halfway home, it wouldn't climb a hill, so he had it towed the rest of the way home.

So I'm guessing that the old guy didn't take very well care of it.
