I bought her on April 18th 2017 for $30,000, I rolled over 61,000 that day on the drive home. I had dreams of having this car as a daily driver for many years to come! Sadly I have a hefty amount of dental work I'm in the middle of and have been thinking of selling. Car is in way better shape than when I got her, I've put several thousand dollars worth of work into her. please read everything.
Currently 63,261 miles as of today(10/16/17), will go up very slowly.

I'm probably forgetting something, but this is most of it.
CONS:
It's an 11 year old car that has some usual wear and tear.
1) Worst spot is on the trunk, theres is a quarter size piece of clear coat that came off when the previous owner removed a trunk lip, its been touched up
2) SE Lip has been scraped up a bit, mostly from previous owner. I'm not a big fan of the lowering springs and definitely blame them for a few scrapes I put on the lip myself
3) Previous owner pulled the front fenders slighty, they didn't do a great job. The passenger fender is in great condition, the drivers side fender is slightly off.
4) Whoever did the previous owners HVAC relocation and Double din install did a great job but neglected the cut the bracket that holds the HVAC, everything works perfectly, except you can't turn the knob of the right to the full left. Here's a how to video on youtube that explains(skip to 3:45), if I had a dremal I would fix it:
5) On 8/22/17 I was pulling into the smog certificate place a block from my house so I could sell the car and a guy rear ended me, it was super minor. I attached photos of his car and mine. All work was done professionally and with OEM parts.
note: ALL PHOTOS ARE from AFTER I've gotten the car back from the body shop. (except the few from that day, SMOG certificate is from that day, she passed like a champ!)
6) Carfax will show that I'm the 4th owner, in actuality I'm the 3rd owner. First owner had his parents Consign the loan and later had them removed thus creating an addition owner on the history.
If she doesn't sell that's okay, I'll just go back to my college day diet until I pay off my medical bills.
Since I bought her for 30k and have only improved her and spent over 5K on all the goodies I feel 30K is a fair price. All my improvements are your gain.
