I think I'm the 3rd owner. I've had car for 4 years now. 2nd owner's wife used car as daily driver and he ran Auto X on weekends. A/C stopped working car had to go. Car has over 215,000 miles and runs great, gets about 30mpg in mixed driving and cost me $2,000 USD. I fixed the A/C.

Stock 1.9L DOHC 16 valve engine. 138hp on its best day. Someone wired radiator cooling fan to always run at high speed as soon as key is turned to "ON" position.

Previous owners modified the cloth interior with various grime stains

Some guy backed into me in a parking lot which modified the previously straight driver side front fender. I beat it out pretty well.
