2008-2017
- 2003
- There was one owner before me.
- I bought it in March 2008.
- It had 47,000 miles when I bought it. I thought the miles were too high. The dealer laughed at me, "This car will run until it hits 250,000 miles.
- I paid $15,000 for the car.
- March 2015- the last time I put any money in to maintain this car with the exception of oil changes and two new tires.
- March 2017- I was driving one night and it started to make a strange, pumping noise. This was the final straw. I had not had any work done to the car in two years and I was on borrowed time. I went looking for a new car the next day.
- There were 244,811 miles logged at trade-in.
- The mechanic who assessed the car was stunned at how well this old car ran.
- It had a $1200 trade in value which shocked me.
- The Kelly Blue Book valued this car with this amount of miles at $2500.
- I took a big road trip in December 2010: VA, TN, AR, NM, TX, MS, OK
- I hauled a ton of junk in this car.
- I bought the car so I could use it as a mini-camper. It was my intention to take the back seats out, put in a cot and drive around the country. I never did that and i have regrets.
- I had one car accident- someone rear-ended me as she was texting and driving.
