Full disclosure:
From 10 feet away, the paint looks good. But up close it shows its age with swirl marks and light scratches. A few small dings here and there.
Clear Coat is peeling on top edge of passenger front door, and a spot on the hood and front fender. (Pictured)
Front passenger fender appears to have been repainted at some point. Carfax report showed a tire blowout many years ago. I suspect this is the reason for the repainted fender.
The Check Engine light is on. Printout shows it's because of the smog pump. In FL they do not do smog checks, so I never replaced it.
There is a rattling noise coming from the truck area that I cannot pinpoint. Nothing bad, just annoying because I can't find it.

There is a clunking noise in the front end that I cannot pinpoint.
You hear it when shifting between drive and reverse, then giving it gas and torque is applied. And sometimes clunks when accelerating or braking. Sometimes it happens when you turn a corner.
To me it sounds like there is simply something loose in the front end, but almost everything up front is new, and I just cannot figure out where it's coming from.

Cruises straight and comfortable down the highway at 80 mph. Like a road-sofa. It is a comfortable and reliable daily driver that gets about 22 MPG.

I paid $5,500 + TT&L on 8-20-23 for the car ($6,000 OTD). And put at least another $3,000 more in all the parts listed above, plus labor
I have about $9,000 total invested. Selling for half of that.
I just bought a new Jeep, so this is a 3rd vehicle that I will continue to DD until I sell it.
I prefer cash but would consider a trade for something cool. Or cash plus partial trades. Maybe even a Harley Davidson (Dyna or Sportster Low) for my wife.
